Cocos Island Race
This was taken about 1983 at the annual Cocos Island Race. Cocos Isl is a small island off the southern tip of Guam separated from the mainland by about 1-2Km. I was in a rubber boat with another guy who wanted to take pictures looking up while the boards went over the top of him as they rounded a buoy. The water was only about a few metres deep. When he slipped over the side with his dive gear on, his flippers hooked on to a rope in the boat and the rope quickly spread out in the water and my heart was in my mouth as the race went over the top. I thought if a board hooks the rope, we are dead.
Taken on Kodachrome ASA100 slide film with Canon F1.
