Of course I’m messing with you but what I’m getting at is the problem is your fault for letting the line sink to the bottom, not the manufacturer’s…
It’s more like you might be a redneck if you curse and yell at your wife in public because she can’t drive the boat on the trailer right.
seen that one too! Aways a good chuckle.
It’s amazing really.

* One of the things I LOVE about the boat ramp: On a holliday weekend (Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day) when the ramp is a zoo at the end of the day. It’s inevitable that there will be a line to wait in in order to get your trailer in the water. Watching fat kids trailer boats, often both drunk and stupid, can be hilarious for about 20 minutes. I’ve seen boats fall off trailers going up the ramp, people roll boats over missing the trailer bunks, folks have locked their keys inside the car with the boat on the trailer at the bottom of the ramp… you name it. It can feel mean sometimes though… like watching the special olympics and laughing out loud… thats a gross overstatement, but you get the point.
There’s a marina down here that has the CCTV feed from the camera on the ramp playing on all the tevelvion sets in the bar.
I think that for your purposes you’d be served better by the 10-22 f3.5-4.5, assuming you already have a kit lens of some sort with a slightly higher range too.
Mark- As you start to mess with this (especially if you want to make some prints) realize that as you get into those high f-stops the image quality is going to degrade. I’d guess the sweet spot on that lens at the wide end is going to be about f/8; I’d probably keep it there maybe going down as far as f/16 if there was something much closer in the foreground I wanted to include as well.
I’d probably start by coming back when there’s less light in the sky but if you can’t wait there’s two things you can do to get the shutter speeds you need w/ out stopping the lens down so much. There’s neutral density filters, and like Zach says your polarizer functions as roughly a two stop ND filter along w/ cutting glare. Also you can take multiple exposures and layer them in photoshop; kind of like HDR except you don’t bracket the exposures.
With Nikon… blank warranty card or not you still need to enclose a receipt showing you purchased it from an authorized Nikon dealer when you send it in or the warranty you mailed off is considered void. Some ebayers selling cameras w/ warranty cards are authorized dealers and others aren’t.
