One of Seattle's bigger summer festivals (there seems to be at least one every weekend), is SeaFair. Amongst the happenings of this particular weekend are the Blue Angels Air Show and the Hydroplane races. I got a chance to see both. The Blue Angels were quite spectacular, but there's no way I was going to get any good shots with a small point and shoot camera. The wingtip-to-wingtip maneuvers are better appreciated on film, but the climbs and dives are something you have to see in person to appreciate. I did get some pics of the boats and one of the races.
A slightly better alternative to the launch ramp

I guess it's not a "pleasure boat" if you have to fix it almost every time you take it out.

They even look fast on shore

I wouldn't want to be the guy in the middle of the pack.

Despite claims, the Oberto boat does not run on beef jerky.
