last year, 2007  i took my  olympus c 470 3 mp 10 x zoom
to the dragon boat races
to try out this newly acquired camera' power,

it turned out my camera wanted to do it again this year,
may be year after year ... until the 40th season
a good camera is for ever

teams 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 appear in this pic

  team 2 at a different zoom, different time
