Another Way to Have Fun...and a Few Words About Scanning

Assuming you don't get seasick, going for a boat ride is always enjoyable, as long as safety concerns are taken care of.  The following was shot on a small boat off Venice Beach, California, sometime in the early 1980's with a Nikon film camera, then scanned.
