Waiting for us to ‘float by’.
The best way to photograph anything out at bird key is to let the current/waves push the boat along. Of course you are in the surf too, best to crank up the shutter speed. You might get something in focus as you bounce around.

Wow, what a photo 😊
Thank you. It was a good day 😁
Fabulous, Ted!
Thank you. He gave me lots of time to get it right 😆
