It's fishing boats, so of course they have good lines.
Couldn't stop myself from posting that line. : ) I am very happy to hear that you managed to get a lens to use while you are in Florida. It looks like you will not be having any problems getting the new camera to do what you want it to do. Now you will have to adjust to looking thru the viewfinder. Have you tried to hold the camera out to see the LCD while composing yet, like a P&S?
You just missed getting the tips of the outriggers (backward leaning poles) on the nearest sport fisher. The vertical poles are radio antennae.
They swing the outriggers out to the sides when they are trolling for big game fish, and clip the lines from the rods to them with a little clip like a clothes pin, and run the clip out on the outrigger with a line thru a pulley at the end of the outrigger. When a fish strikes a bait, the clip lets the lie loose. The "drop back" as it is called, allows the fish to take bait easier. They also allow the lines to cover a wider sweep over the ocean surface as they troll. |
