Yep that's black ops all over, trying to gain your confidence then pow!!!! All those clothes aren't for weather protection, under that lot are bullet proof vests.
Lol...definitely had purposeful vibe to the occasion."Look a bit more friendly this time..."

Guessing they are fishing using an electric outboard when on location but conventional one to get them there more quickly.
There was another olive green boat as well with 3 pax on board dressed similarly...perhaps a 'convention' downstream somewhere!

I took this image with just a few seconds notice...had to divert my attention from a crewed boat for this then back again to the rowing competitors!An unusual but effective POTW.
Image is not cropped at all or tweaked in any way other than sharpened after i'd reduced the image size for uploading...by a fluke my 200mm lens was just perfect for this shot. Was very pleased when I saw it for the first time...thought one of the Gallagher brothers had taken up fishing.
Anyway thanks for your comment Giulio...I think I was as surprised as anyone to find my image staring back at me from the POTW space when I logged on this site earlier this morning!
