2016 World Jet Boat Championship
5/24-25/2016 - 19 races spread across the St. Joe River, Snake River, and the Coeur d'Alene River. These photos are from the six races on the Coeur d'Alene River between Harrison and Cataldo, ID. These were all taken from Safety Boat position #4 as I was running emergency radio communications and didn't have much flexibility in where I could go to get my shots. Photos are sorted by time taken.
