Subject: [Leica] BOATING PAD #12 - Powerboat/Bow On

In a slow-moving sailboat, having a large powerboat come directly at  
you is always at least a bit unnerving.  In this case, though, it  
provided a nice opportunity for a bow-on shot with a nearly  
symmetrical bow wave that I think looks really good in B&W.  In this  
shot the powerboat is actually turning slightly *towards* us.

He eventually turned and passed behind us a few boat lengths away.
