I would say now would be the time to bring it back. Starting November-ish you'll have a lot more days of rougher seas. My favorite time would've...
I agree totally, not to mention with RIB's you really have to stay on top of them to keep them looking clean. Not to mention when you carry any...
I have a Canon 720IS. It's a great small camera 6x optical zoom, image stabilization, viewfinder, 8 megapixel. It takes great pictures and is...
