Boxing Day 26th December – Rotto raft up
As of the 27th of December I’m going to try to maintain this blog as much as I can! Purely because I’ve done some really cool stuff in the later months of 2009 and 2010 is shaping up to be amazing! So with that in mind, I’ve decided to restart with one the greatest days of 2009!
On Boxing Day the 26th of December, I attended an event known as the Boxing Day Raft Up at Rottnest Island. The general idea behind the event is that anyone who owns a boat/yacht/catamaran etc can head over to Rotto so that everyone can tie up together and have one giant party on the water.
It was my first raft up and I heard a lot of crazy things leading up to the day and let me just say, every expectation was fulfilled and then some! I had an amazing time meeting new people, chilling with friends and having an EPIC time!
As the day wound up, I was told by a friend that we would be cruising to the other side of the island to hop on his friend’s catamaran for a little fiesta!
What he neglected to tell me, was that the Cat we would be on, is the very one in this picture!!!
Ever since I have been a kid I have always wanted to be involved in life’s luxuries. High end cars/yachts/jets and other items of that nature, hence why I have the job I have.
The experience I had yesterday aboard this floating work of art will stay with me for the rest of my life!
Yes I’ve been on boats before, however to be on the upper deck of this truly amazing vessel with great friends, great music, the sun setting on the horizon and in general awe of what I was seeing in front of my very eyes… It was surreal!
Opportunities like this don’t usually happen that often for an 18 year old photographer! For that I am still in awe, and lost for words…. Because of the Entourage style events that took place, I have an even stronger passion to work harder and to achieve my goals.
(Myself being in the black)
Those owners/photographers/viewers who know me very well will understand why partying on a 140ft Cat wasn’t just a party, it was a life lesson! Even if I did have ridiculous amounts of fun! 
Cheers,
Josh Stowers
