Hurricane Isaac 8/25/2012

We went out the day before the hurricane struck just to see how ocean conditions would be here in Miami. The seas were supposed to be around 6FT with occasional 8 footers rolling in and out as you went further offshore. We met at the ramp of Haulover in Sunny Isles, Florida around 10AM to find it pretty much deserted. I was still forced to pay the $15 ramp fee by the ranger at the scene, can't get away from that one even during a hurricane as they chase you down LOL! It was all worth it as the day turned out to be a lot of fun with great friends. I was actually surprised that we were able to get 4-5 of us together on such short unplanned notice and with weather conditions the way they were. Anyways, enjoy the pictures and the video I quickly took with my iphone. I did not have my camera with me at the time so most of these shots came of off a go pro or a contour HD that was mounted to Louis's Yamaha or Greg's Yamaha. Overall it was a nice day and can't wait to do this again. I somehow managed to lose my life jacket at the ramp while helping the others launch their jet ski's. Pretty sad about that one :( So if anyone finds it you know who it belongs to LOL





And here is a short video that I put together. It was raw footage so not much editing going on here.
