Image of the Week, Part II: Orange Juice In Key West
Continuing with a theme this first week of fall, Speedonthewater.com’s second Image of the Week is a sunset photo. But unlike the Tim Sharkey shot from Solomons, Md., that ran Monday, this Jay Nichols image has a boat in it—the orange prototype V 42 from Marine Technology, Inc.
