A Visit to Point Judith

From time to time, I get a photo assignment that has me asking myself; are you kidding me? Am I really being paid for this? The Spring weather in June was glorious with low humidity and puffy clouds in a nice blue sky

Very much like my previous “Perfect Day” blog, there was a nautical theme. I was assigned to produce a Google virtual tour and still photos of a charter fishing boat called the C-Devil II docked on State Street in Narragansett, RI.

I have done Google virtual tours of many interesting businesses since 2013, but I never did a virtual tour aboard a vessel before. I walked up to the C-Devil II and I was granted permission to come aboard by Captain Kelly Smith.

They had just come back from a fishing trip earlier that day.

I set up the virtual tour as you walk down the dock, then board the C-Devil, and go inside the cabin.

The array of electronics aboard is impressive. After taking a variety of still shots of the exterior and interior I asked Captain Smith if there was anything I missed. That is when I got some bonus photos.

“I have a new clean diesel engine if you would like to see it” the Captain said. Yes, yes, I would love to see your new engine. The next thing I knew the floorboards were removed and I got to crawl around the bottom of the vessel to photograph the new engine. I am fascinated with any kind of engine since I have removed and replaced engines on several of my own cars over the years.
