I wasn't going to take the boat out today. I only went down to the boat to fuel up and get her ship shape for the weekend festivities. Then as I looked over the houses of Rocky Neck I saw the masts of the Canadian schooner "Bluenose II" looming above them. That did it, lower the engine and cast off the lines with camera in hand. Once I rounded the Railways I aimed my camera at the schooner and click....nothing! The camera wasn't working! What could it be I thought, I had charged the battery. The LED display was flashing "CHA"...That must mean the battery charge is low. Oh no I hope it's not time for a new battery, this one is hard to come by. You just can't walk into a store and buy it off the shelf. A little of that sick feeling started to take over, not now....not during the Schooner Festival! I had spun out to the outer harbor and decided to come in. As I was passing the Paint Factory I finally discovered what the problem was. The memory card wasn't fully installed! Dummy!

Great shots, Jay! Doh! I've done the same thing with the memory card.
Thanks Steve but I still feel like a dummy! You would figure "CHA" means charge,but looking at the manual it refers to the memory card....go figure!

Nice work Jay!
