Actually, as seen in this shot which is a companion boat next to the Carol Lynn, the water was quite bumpy...and it was pretty windy. My guess is that at the long exposure it just evened itself out. Perhaps too little or too much more time would have produced different results.
Thanks for liking the shot. I like using the big stopper and though shots like this are pretty slick, I am wanting to use it more and more with the movement of people.
