    I finally got my new Nikon D5100 camera today, and today we took it out for the first time on the water. Got some really good aerial shots of some sailfish, and also some video from it. We were actually hooked up today, when a totally white, albino sailfish swam right past the boat. I've only seen one other one my entire time down here so we were casting, and jigging and popping trying to get it to bite something. After I finally realized it wasn't going to bite, I ran for the camera and snapped a short little video on the beast!!! Check it out:

    Hi John,
    Cool video, that is a very rare animal. Sounds like it is quite smart too.
    Looking at your website is making me very jealous!
    Here in London it is 1'C, the forecast is snow, frost, rain, and gale force winds.
    Here is a pic from my window so you know what you are missing.
    Cheers
    Adam

    Dang, gale wind, snow and cold. That's sounds tough, sorry it's so cold up there. It's funny, I had two different groups of people from London this week, I think now I know why! Here's some shots from my office yesterday:
