UPDATE: 7/30/18

I have reserved about 30+ images and sent them off to Ray Lee of Speedboat Magazine for publishing. Full coverage to appear in the September 2018 Print Issue of Speedboat Magazine..

Due to the nature of a Print Magazine, I will not be able to make those images available until the magazine is made available to the public.

All images sent to SpeedontheWater.com Magazine are available being as that is a Digital Magazine and is typically already published.

Anyone that is interested in preserving a Featured story or Magazine Cover of them, I produce them with many options available from Acrylic Laminated Prints, Wood Plaques, Glass & Metal. See examples of these Custom Products : CLICK HERE.

5,300+ photos were shot during this event with coverage starting on Thursday morning at 9AM touring the Village of Clayton and the Antique Boat Museum and shot everything I passed along the way. If you were unable to attend this year, please feel free to browse those galleries and I am sure you will not want to miss it next year.

This event proved to be the "must do event" in the North East. Participants came in from all over the country including as far away as California and Washington to attend the event for a worthy cause.

The support the Make-A-Wish Foundation received at this event was incredible and I thank everyone that helped make that happenand even granting a wish that night.

Sharkey-Images would like to take this time to thank all of our generous sponsors for supporting us each year.

Special thanks to Mike Jurusz owner of Chef Mike's ABG , our new sponsor Empire Landscaping & Snow Services for their support for a private photo shoot in the picturesque 1000 Islands.

The 1000 Islands Charity Run in Clayton, NY was a new event for us this year and with the outpouring of positive responses from the Board of Directors and participants I have already been asked to cover this event next year .

Special thanks to Courtney Rutherford of TAG Mechanical for his support along with Brand X Performance Marine, Chef Mike's ABG, Empire Landscaping & Snow Services, Sunsation Powerboats & Visual Imagination.

In addition, I would like to thank Publisher of Speedboat Magazine Ray Lee and professional Videographer & Photographer Todd Taylor for joining me on this event, as there was so much to cover throughout the entire 3 days, that me alone would not have been able to capture all it. Between the 3 of us we caught a lot of special memories for the Make A Wish Kids and the participants in the event. Looking forward to working with you on future events when possible.

Thank you Matt Trulio of SpeedontheWater.com Magazine for the amazing words you put together to describe the events happening, especially most in real time reporting. Much appreciation for all of your promotion for the event and Sharkey-Images.

A special thanks to Nolan Ferris and the entire Board of Directors who have been so instrumental in making this event the very best it can be and are looking to make even more improvements for next year.

Thank you all for attending and being so generous for the cause.
