While doing this I noticed a Coast Guard helo near the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. So I 'fractured' a speed limit or two to make it to the bridge's south rest/fishing area and caught them in action. The helo dropped a swimmer onto a jetty, who got into a FHP cruiser and they checked on a few fishermen nearby. Then the trooper took him back to the jetty, helo hovered and hoisted, and they were off to whatever came up next. Very cool to see what one normally sees on one of those Real-Stories-of-Whatever television shows. Here's just a few of the couple dozen shots I got. I'd like to take credit for the pic quality, but it was all the camera's automatic 'talent'.
Thanx for looking!
