From a distance

We really don't think about this much, because every week we are so excited to get out on the water, but the truth of the matter is - the Vérité is being watched ALL the time. That might be important to remember. This week we rowed for 30 minutes straight without a break and practiced several times to 'ship our oars'. While we watch out for other boats for safety purposes we really don't think about what others see when they are looking in our direction. That is until they hold up their ipad and snap a shot. Oh, gosh, was that our "good side"? 
 
Most of the time we are in a world of our own - just do in what we outta,  oblivious to the potential of being caught in the camera's eye. This week however, we were surprised to receive an email with the following photographs. As you can see they clearly show Vérité's pristine lines. Fortunately, for us, they did not record the incident of the malfunctioning zipper nor the gales of laughter that followed. But seeing the clarity of the photos has given me pause. Heavens, it is just like what has happened to the British Royals? I know my mother's advice to the princess and our zipper gal would be "Keep your life preservers on!"
