Just a few shots from our five day sailing trip around the Balaton. Sailed from Keszthely to Tihany, Sofok, and then back to Keszthely. Some casting, a little fishing, lots of sailing. This is Ria. Ria is my distance casting coach and Hungarian teacher.
Sailing week.
I invited Zsofia for a four day sailing trip (“bring a spare pair of panties, we may stay longer”). 15 days later we return! Anyway these are a few of her shots, obviously she’s quite good at this. This is a HUGE Pod Blog, hang on to your shorts…

OK Zsofia, this is the boat and I know what I’m doing… honest

Some kind of funky lens.

Basically a fantastic picture of my head.

Many beautiful evening sailings.

See?

Zsofia is an artist and so some of the photos may be a bit weird.

I took this one (it’s great).
-
-
Zsofia took this one while I was sleeping.

A harbour somewhere, Boglar maybe.

Big skies, big water.

Action! We save this boat from certain destruction when it broke it’s mooring.
-

Here I’m helping by drinking a beer and smoking a cigar.

Back to the Art. I could tell you how Zsofia managed this but then I’d have to kill you.
-
-
A steely pose with one of the locals.
-

Puszi puszi.

Hmmm. A shot through the window.

Rain coming in fast. It will rain for the next five days. But that’s nothing as it turns out.
-
-
The Balaton can be extremely beautiful.
-
-
Evening light. Photographers have a special word for it, but I’ve forgotten what it is. Welcome to Sexyloops, a minefield of information.

Water.

Heading back towards Kesthely…

Some more hardcore Imaginary Asping.

Stormy weather…. and then Zsofia’s camera battery dies. Which is a shame because all the Big Asps were caught then!
