Thank you Jane,
It sounds like you had more fun then I did last night. I spent the night in a darkened room taking pictures with two candle of a flower and you spent the night on the coast rescuing a drunken sailor if I understand the story correctly. Your evening sounded much more exciting then mine.
We find ourselves doing mighty strange things in order to complete the WA tasks.
Have a nice rest of the weekend,
Your entry this week is great, you have color, action and it looks like you might have risked your live.

I would have traded places with you.
Yes, last night was exciting. Risking life and limb to get to the median to take my entry, the homeless people down by the ballpark, eating dinner at 10:00 pm at Burger King in the heart of the ghetto and yes, rescuing a drunken sailor from the Intercoastal Waterway. I was concerned about being pulled in myself... not of drowning, but of the single celled organisms in the water. I didn't do anything heroic, just used some common sense as his companions did not seem too bright, even before they started drinking. Though it was a little scary when he went under twice.
I think the sailor was more afraid after he got out of the water, when his two toothless female companions insisting on take him to their house for the night and to dry ALL of his wet clothes. I really felt sorry for the poor guy.
Oh, and let's not forget the two hookers we encountered in the marina being escorted by their John.
Yes, quite an exciting evening.
Jane,
Thanks for getting back to me with your PM. You had such a wild time getting your shot for WA, you should add the story to your entry. I am sure others would enjoy it as I did.
Great shot and great story, but you never mentioned the safety of your camera, priorities please….
Regards,
Tom
The walk-over is along a stretch of highway with several bars and restaurants and it was Cinco de Mayo. Crossing traffic in Daytona is dangerous, but in the dark and with happy hour winding down, even more dangerous. Camera was in a padded backpack.
Camera was locked in the trunk of my car at BK and at the marina. I left my purse and keys with Forrest.
Thanks again Tom and Forrest. I think I'll continue to do my WA at home or during the day.

I'm glad it all worked out. It's funny that you are asking me how I did my shot this week when you did yours exactly the same way. It's fun to see them sitting next to each other in the thumbnails. (We've gotta stop meeting like this.
