Went on vacation last week to visit my mother and step-father in New Brunswick, Canada. They live on the Saint John River above a dam which makes it more of a lake really. All pics taken with our new Panasonic Lumix FZ18 which has an 18X optical zoom. My wife loves it!

My brother-in-law pulled us around on the tube with his boat. It is made by a Canadian company.....it will do at least 57 mph as that is what I saw it hit.

True enough.....they had so much snow last winter they could hardly keep up or find a place to put it. The one thing that I can't stand is the damn bugs! Blackflies really suck. You don't notice them and then you are itching like mad the next day!
 
Camera is a Panasonic Lumix FZ18. We just got it a month ago and it has an 18X optical zoom. Has the option to do manual focus if desired...the sports scene mode works really well in capturing action shots. We had another Panasonic that is similar but had a 12X......my wife HAD to have the 18X.

The water temps were not bad.....around 70 F. I went in several times. Air temps were quite high the week we were there.....80-90. Summer can get very hot but it is just not as long. Winter drags on too long!
 
Whale, very nice and thanks for sharing. My boys are now 28 and 29 and I still remember and cherish the fun times we had out boating, camping, and fishing. Treasure these great times. :clap:
