No. You claim it is a toilet tent. It could equally be a blue tarpaulin protecting something from rain.
And clearly visible means that we shouldn’t have to spend our evenings zooming in to pictures in order to try and decipher what they are.

You are free to try and capture three blue tents again.

Hi Joe @JoeC, it definitely only looked like one outboard motor on the blue boat, I think it was a more powerful one if the size was anything to go by, they do have water skiing further up the creek but none were there today. :laughing:

The senior judges ponder a tricky decision down the Prop and Gimbal in the board room

It’s been one of those days with plenty of images and claims to check. What effect has this had on the scores? Click-the-Pic™ to go to the Leaderboard and check for yourselves!

The blue one and the one on the right both have their big, beefy motors for a bit of oomph, but on the camera-side they both have littler ‘kicker’ motors. Usually for better manoeuvrability when needed (e.g. for fishing) or as a redundancy for the big one. A whole host of options for that 2nd point. :+1:

Here is the flag in a pole on the garden side of the wall so hoping you’ll agree with my original claim. Will try and make next shots less ambiguous!

Thought you had engaged a Steganography guru? :joy:

We did.

And when he saw some of the images he walked straight out again.
