    Default GC- On the Water

    Although the weather was crap during our stay down the Gold Coast, I still got out on 2 of the days (the other was just too wet and windy) to get some shots in, although many of these were taken from either the 77th floor Skypoint observation deck or from our 19th floor room.

    Despite the blustery conditions and constant rain squalls, people were still out there enjoying the waterways and beaches ...

    Looking across the Broadwater to Surfers Paradise


    Dad got the boys out for some jetski fun


    And people still wanted to learn to surf


    Patience ...


    Swim safely


    Plenty of money around the Gold Coast ...

    Ha! Ha! Love the Superduck! Went on one of those in Alaska and it was a hoot! The Paradise Jet is also very cool! Great set overall, M.A!

    Yeh, nothing stunning photography wise in there but it gives you a look at life in the water around the Gold Coast. And these were dreary days ... imagine warm, sunny, summer days with a light breeze!
