Ice Boats on Mecox Bay
Thursday January 18th I made a last minute check of the ice on Mecox Bay and found the ice boaters out. Most were getting the last day of ice racing in before the weather warmed up. The racers were excited because the ice was smooth and fast. Trying as many runs as they could before the days light vanished.

Ice Boats on Mecox
Today I stopped over to Mecox Bay and caught the end of the day ice boaters. Every winter when the bay ices over these hardy sailers get there ice boats out. Some of these boats can reach speeds of 65 mph or more. Below are a couple of photos from the day.

Flying Point
In the evenings I have been running down to Flying Point Beach and Mecox Bay to catch the evening light and play with my new Fujifilm X-E2 camera. I am enjoying shooting with the camera. The feel is like a traditional film rangefinder camera. The lens and sensor produce sharp images with good contrast and like Fuji films snappy rich colors. The camera has a panoramic feature that stitches several images together in the camera. In principle it is similar to the feature in I-phones. Shooting in manual exposure and focus provides more consistent and better images in the panoramic mode. I hope you enjoy the photos.
