I love the depth in this image. It sure gives the expanse of the ground these people need to cover !

@Andy: Andy.....I was very lucky as I caught them just at the start of their shift so they were fairly close to the shore maybe 100 meters out from the Yacht Race Building on the promenade. I also had waterproof boots and a heavy jacket in the car.....it would have been a non-starter without them.
