Snorkeling David Copperfield's Mermaid Piano | Sailboat Story 46
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 พ.ย. 2024
- In this vlog, we anchor our sailboat at Rudder Cut Cay so that we can go snorkeling at the famous mermaid piano. It's AWESOME!
When I began to edit this video, I realized that all of the footage was shot on the GoPro. At first, this doesn't sound like a big deal, but the fact of the matter is that it creates a bit of a challenge when you realize that the GoPro was in it's underwater case the whole time.
Gopro + Underwater Case = Really Bad Sound
So that's why this episode kinda turned into something of an Almost-Full-Length-Music-Video. Honestly, I think it turned out kinda cool despite the complete absence of audio. Heck, maybe I'm worrying too much - perhaps NOT hearing my voice for an entire episode will end up being something of a treat. :)
Soooooooooo...
This video takes place at Rudder Cut Cay. Lovely place! (I bet you've heard that before). The primary attractions are "The Mermaid Piano OR Copperfield's Piano", and also an interesting water-side cave.
Now, the islands around Rudder Cut and Musha are private. You can't go exploring at all on land. In fact, we've heard that other cruisers report that they have seen guard dogs roaming the islands, so it might be best to just stick to the water around here.
Some people call the piano "Copperfield's Piano" because it was put there by David Copperfield... possibly the undesirable result of a magic trick gone wrong - perhaps even caused by an event as simple as a inadvertent flick of the wrist. The world will never really know, but I can only imagine how he intended for the instrument to appear in his living room, when it instead appeared 100ft above sea level just off of Rudder Cut Cay causing the 15,000 lb mass to come crashing down with a terrific splash, forever to be adorned and cherished by all manner of sea-people who believe it was placed there intentionally.
Wow, I got carried away on that one. I digress...
The piano itself is stainless steel, and extremely heavy. The mermaid was added at a later date, and she is often adorned with beads, sunglasses, and other paraphernalia from passing cruisers.
Okidokey. Well, we hope you enjoy the video!
Thanks for watching!!

you just keep getting better and better, more creative, weaving music and picture so well. Bravo!
Yeah, I like how you describe that. It is a bit like weaving in a way.
Thanks!
Ben, Your video editing and creativity has evolved so well! Very nicely done! Always enjoyed watching the family have fun!
Ray, thanks for saying that. You know, I feel good about the editing now. There are always challenges with the edit, such as this video where there was so little voice audio - but I feel good about my abilities now. Thanks for the compliment, and glad to hear that you're still enjoying the show. :)
I watch a lot of other sailing videos showing the same places, but yours always looks better, always happy to see a new Sailing Story.
Why do you think that is?
I donno maybe it's that fraction of a second pause you take to let us all sink in, maybe your steady hand. I also like your hand signals and to see her respond, I thought was cool. It's easy to like Sailing Story
Thanks Marty! Always interested to hear from people what they think makes the channel entertaining. I appreciate the feedback. :)
Your style of video is pretty cool. Very Casey Neistat-like. Keep up the good work.
Been rewatching your earlier stuff. It's old enough to be new again.
Sweet opening !
Honestly, one of the better episodes you have done. So much story told without saying a word. Your is one of the only sailing channels that I don't fast forward through. Fantastic editing, music and images. Keep up the good work! PS- Molly is getting to be a much better swimmer!
Wow, thanks. Lots of feel-good comments from the episode, and we certainly appreciate yours.
Story without saying a word - I like that. Man, we must be doing something right!
She is swimming better and better. Hopefully, she's a full fledged swimmer before we leave here.
Not only do I love to watch your family video's but I find myself beeboppin around the house to the music. I would love a sailboat story music compilation video because you have great taste in tunes!
Glad to hear that you're beeboppin to the tunes. :)
This one was just about entirely a music video, wasn't it?
yeah lol
Always look forward to your weekly video, thanks for sharing Ben, Tambi & Molly!
Thanks my brotha.
Great video Ben!! I really enjoyed the change up in that instead of narrative that usually accompanies your adventure, you found a wonderful soundtrack to back great videos of an awesome aquatic adventure. You do a fantastic job at your vlog and I really enjoy following you guys along with your adventures!!! Ahoy to Tambi and Molly!
Murray, we appreciate the kind words. :) Thanks very much for watching and enjoying our videos!
My pleasure Ben. I really enjoy your family's adventures because you are so relatable to the people and you guys are so down to earth. See ya on your next adventure!!
Fantastic video! Molly's expressions are priceless!!! Getting her sense of humor from her Dad that's for sure. Tambi, Great job capturing mollie. Great editing. Just a FUN video to watch!!
She's getting sneaky with her odd expressions. Have to check twice before taking photos.
Thanks Guys for another great video!!!! I never saw that cave/blow hole in anyone else's video before. It was truly amazing and you captured it really well. I would love to visit it myself sometime in person. One of the most impressive videos of any of them on the net to date!!! Really! You guys always look like your having so much fun, what a wonderful experience this is for your daughter, she's learning a lot more than sitting in some public school classroom from all of this! Cudo's to you both! Thanks again, Bill S.
Without a doubt, in the top five best sailing videos ever! I watch alot of them. Well done Ben and Tambi. Class filming, editing and music! Just a total pleasure to watch. Well done guys, you have attained elite status in my book! Huge hugs to you all from somewhere in Europe.
Hey, thanks a lot for that assessment. Since your someone who has seen LOTS of videos - I value your opinion quite highly indeed. :)
I'm curious though, what are the other 4 videos that are in this top 5 category?
I mean, I need to know what we're up against if we're ever going to have a shot at numero uno. :)
Seriously, do I have to put myself on the line? Ok then....Ran ( exceptional editing and commentary ) Sailing Doodles, ( Bobby improves each week ) Rick Moore ( a veteran with so much experience ) , anddddd my outsider Barry Perrins ( Please look him up, I think he is in your part of the world.) A lovely brit! Thanks for your reply, I was very touched! Fair winds lovely family! x
And there you have it folks! ;)
Thanks for your insights on that.
We appreciate you watching big our videos - stay tuned.
fantastic journey, noticeable change to your video... wow. left wanting more
Where you're diving, but Tambi & Molly are floating above: I think "ethereal" is the perfect word.
Is that a good or bad thing?
Sailboat Story Yes.
Thanks for the clarification!
We're so happy to be that word, and couldn't agree more about that word being an excellent way to describe that particular shot. :)
Excellent Video. Truly entertaining. Other vloggers should take note of your style. You are definitely raising the bar. Thank you for sharing, and allowing us to participate. Safe Winds and Travels.
Hey, thanks Monty! Really feels good to hear your compliment of our style. :)
This is so true.
Others should realize that you make a great video, you don't pat yourself on the back
Truly the best one yet as far as creativity goes. Loving your style. Is your last name Lucas if so are you related to George Lucas? Lol appreciate the hard work of editing. Where could I send you a gift for the family? And what are some things on your wish list. You can email me the info at sacreyr @gmail.com
there are things on the web page:

Thanks for the compliment, Rob. Have you considered signing up as a patron? That's the simplest and most helpful thing to do if you'd like to help us out a bit. We'd certainly appreciate it! Details can be found below in the description of the video. :)
I have been watching your videos since day 1. And your editing skills have gone to a new level. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
There was nowhere to go but up!
All the right ingredients...music, editing and talent! Well played Sandfleas...well played.
Thanks!
- The Fleas
I always enjoy your narrations and learn much from them, not only about sailing, but also about a happy family. But this video was just as good. Your skills continue to advance. I wish you well from northern Germany!
We appreciate that John. Good to know that this video was well received despite it being so different from the rest of the series. I like experimenting, and I'm encouraged to continue to try new things.
Best Yet!! Keep it up. Love the music too.
We watch lots of sailing blogs. Yours in on the top!
Thanks! Glad to hear that you like them. :)
I love your videos not only for the wonderful clean fun family entertainment, but you have mad editing skills keep it up!! you guys make many peoples day a bit better with every one. Thanks
Thanks Andy! I love to hear about making people laugh and smile. Maybe we'll even encourage some people to have a sailing adventure if their own.
PS - Really appreciate the compliment on the editing skills. That one really hits home for me. :)
Loved the editing, video, and music. Great change of pace but I do love the usual family commentary. Love your channel!!!
most excellent video i've seen so far! awesome editing, cool music, happy family! my favorite sailing channel by far....GRUNT
Thanks a ton Grunt.
totally love your videos Ben. you're amazing at making them, of course with the help of Molly ;) really awesome and I can't wait for the next one. thanks for sharing and my best from HKG....
that water looked amazing. the cave so beautiful! wow! thank you for sharing and the giggles! You guys are wonderful!
Ben, I had asked about a video showing how you handle the anchoring without the, always a pain in the bow, windlass, and I must say you have knocked it out of the park. Well done sir! Not much on TH-cam on the subject, and now you have covered it well and in a most entertaining way. I know others have mentioned your much improved editing skills, but I must say your seamanship ain't too shabby. Your ladies ladies are in good hands Skipper, dare I say Captain. Well done.
Glad you enjoyed that.
I must say, I'm feeling far more confident now that I did in the beginning. We've been anchoring under sail a good bit lately as well. Gotta say, I'm feeling a bit salty. :)
Thanks for bringing us along, looks like fun!
Just when I think your editing couldn't get any sweeter you go and produce another gem! You're a natural at this.
Tambi and Molly are as happy as all get out! :)
I was hoping you would upload something today!! Thanks for lifting my day from the doldrums!!
Glad to hear that we helped a bit.
It's a good day Allyn!
Always much to be thankful for.
Excellent editing, especially the music! Reminds who put the mermaid at the piano sculpture down there,please. Some of us have senior moments and we forget! So very beautiful and so was the scenery!
Read the description. There's a fairly detailed, comedic explaination down there. :)
Great video......... I am glad you finally listened to all of the advice I have given you over they years.....months.......days....... ok maybe the last few minutes?
Mom, are you making fake TH-cam accounts again?
Hello Ben, Tambi & Molly, I enjoyed this episode, the behind the scenes view with the two go pros, the music which is great and the dancing made me lol! Also the clever production pieces, like where the viewer is sure it is Ben wearing the head mounted gopro, until you see Mollys face appear in the mirror, or your use of the placement of the cameras to give a wider view, of where you are and what you are doing, instead of the constant in your face selfie view many sailing channels limit themselves to.
Regards, Dave.
Wow. Will a single thank you suffice as a response?
Ahh, just basking in the praise for a moment... hmm... ah yes...
Man, that's good. :)
You guys must be sailing close to The Wynn's. They have almost the same video locations as you from time to time. You are either ahead of them with video locations or behind them. Thanks for your great vlogs!
This is true... If you bought a windlass you might have to resort to something ridiculous like 12oz. curls to keep your guns tuned up...
Glenn Gutshall
I'm only using 2oz weights currently - actually, it's just a pair of sharpie markers.
It's all about reps though. 30,000 reps is what I shoot for... 3 sets of 10,000.
Great video, i could not believe it was over so soon, it seemed like it was only 3 mins long, and Molly did a great job, your editing and talent has set a high standard for other channels.
Thanks Paul. Wonderful to hear such a compliment. :)
I was starting to think someone paid you off to keep you from talking on this one. Then I heard the sound while you were setting the anchor and knew it was the GP case.
Of the many channels I have seen going through that area, you are the first I have seen show the piano. Great job showing something new. To me anyway.
Best video so far! They are all good but this gets my vote. Unbelievable water claridy!
The water is amazing. Funny thing is that you almost get used to it here. Oh! The shock of going back to the brown water is gonna be harsh!
Good stuff!! Nice use of music and cinematography to create an interesting mood and atmosphere. There are many out there wanting support from their viewers that could learn something from you... :)
Ah - feels good to hear that.
Thanks for the flattering comment. :) Really appreciate it.
Your drone shots are AMAZING!
Love the new creative format 10/10
You are an extraordinarily talented and gifted guy Normally when I run across a sailing VLOG that tries to get "artsy" by making a "Music Video", they fall flat and produce something that is at best, tedious. Even embarrassing on occasion. There are a very rare set of instincts that enable a very few to create exceptional works. I don't know what those instincts are but you have every damn one of them. I watched this latest video again in an effort to figure out what makes your work stand out in such stark relief against anyone else's offerings and I can't. I don't know what it is.( beyond the young and beautiful Tamby). It just is. I have decided that henceforth, you shall be called, "The Spielberg of VLOG's" I don't want to pour on the pressure and make you self conscience because over analyzing yourself can be deadly. I would just say be comfortable and continue to have fun and your unique and pleasing productions will continue to flow and most importantly, to grow.
Wow. Feels... so gooooood. :)
Let me tell ya - I really enjoyed reading that - all 3 times.
I mean, we try to produce good videos - but parts of this adventure have been tough at times. Believe it or not, sometimes it feels an aweful lot like work... there are even times when I have to really get motivated to edit, especially after a long sail or in the midst of a cold front for instance.
BUT... hearing genuine, honest appreciation for the videos makes it all absolutely worth it.
Here's another thing - and really try to get this...
I grew up being particularly artistic. I was skilled at drawing, at music, and building things. However, when I "grew up" I lost touch with that side of me...
I was busy working, dating, having fun, then marriage, then Molly was born, then more work... basically I totally lost that creative outlet.
Now though, these videos have filled a void. At first it was an entire new "medium" that required skills that I simply did not have. The results are painfully apparent in our early videos. Since our early videos, I've improved, and have found that I really enjoy making these videos.
For me, the videos are a mix of a lot of things I like. They're a family record, of sorts. They kinda force us to do new and fun things so we have interesting things to film - and they have certainly filled the need of a creative outlet that I went so long without.
So yeah - thanks for saying those things. It feels wonderful to not only have that void filled, but to also know that the fruits of our labors are being so well received and enjoyed by others.
Thanks. ;)
PS: This is the longest reply I have ever made.
I think there's one thing that you do (and I may be wrong) is to sneak in subtle little references to great stuff like "Raising Arizona" and such. If I did correctly pick this up, then I have to say, you do it perfectly. It's a talent. Not overt. Not garish. Just subtle and perfect. It's a talent. Yes sir. It's a talent.
Totally agree this is one of the most creative artistic sailing vlogs yet. Ben, beautiful work!
Fantastic scenery and great editing!
thank you for sharing as always through you eyes the video was beautiful
This was a fun video. Loved all the looking around.
Thanks for that feedback. I was wondering if that's something people enjoy - or if the slow panning around takes away from the video and is boring.
Still learning about what makes a good video. Always learning!
Always enjoy Video Friday. Missed hearing your narrative and humor but understand about the audio(bad sound can ruin a video) and hey you had some good music for a cool video. You are getting pretty good at your free diving also and Molly will be a directing soon. Safe travels
I'm ready for her to step up and film, edit, upload, and sail the boat. Tambi and I can just sit back and cruise.
You're getting pretty good at this video editing stuff. 😊 I thought it was a nice change of pace from your usual intros/ videos...nice music ....GREAT !
So good to hear that it was enjoyable. I never know what to expect when I experiment, but so far it seems to have been well received.
nice dude keep it on like that love to see happy people in happy boats
have a good one
Hey you missed hooking up with 'gone with the Wynns' they were just there too ( depending on upload time issues!)
Love you videos! Love that water....
Cheers Warren
Darn!
enjoyed video without sound sort of surreal , interesting
that water amazing
cheers warren
fyi the wynns went racing off the georgetown
Good to hear that you liked the experimental "no talking" video. I've gotten good at working around tricky footage - and this one was a shining example.
Yeah, we headed North almost exactly the time that those 2 went racing South.
I want to congratulate you on doing your Cleat knots the proper way. Too many boaters do not know or don't bother doing them right. Cheers, Richard
Why thanks! What you witnessed is the result of tying approximately 9,000 cleat hitches. :)
Perfect cleat knot and my favorite chain link with spare line. I love to do that with my roller furling line. Makes for a quick release when you need it.
awesome video and music! Thank you!
Great filming! Great editing! Great story! Love it!
Great feedback. ;)
I'm going to try and get my wife to wear one of those one pieces . . . :)
THAT WAS COOL EVEN WITH NO TALKING. GREAT FAMILY
Great dude - a lesson in the juxtaposition of sailing with an electronic jazz funk vibe. Smooooth.
BTW - Pretty Lights are playing down in Puerto Rico in December - do you think you'll make it down that far? Super expensive, but you could anchor off the resort and listen *really* carefully.
Oh I didn't know that. I'm not much into concerts or evens where there are a lot of people. In fact, one of my least favorite things ever are theme parks. Just a little insight into the inner working of my personality. Still, I certainly do like his music. We won't be making it that far south, in fact, we're already making slow progress North.
you are an amazing film (video) maker, sometimes that gets lost in your oddball humor
great job
Haha! Thanks.
If only this weirdo could be less weird every once in a while, people would see how great our videos are... Is that what you're saying?
;)
yes and no
I enjoy the jokes, but I also enjoy subtle foolishness...
It's a great package... as much as I (and many others) enjoyed this video, I was wating for a silly joke...
Another great one guy's! Look forward to your videos every week!
Ok...... I gotta ask Ben,..........what's with the full body wet suit?? The water has to be in the 80's almost by now :)
You know, I thought the same thing before we arrived. The water, up until a couple weeks ago, was uncomfortably cold. Everyone who had a wetsuit was wearing it, and those who didn't wished they had a wetsuit.
Some seasoned cruisers claim the water has been unseasonably cold this year. It's getting into the mid-70s now, but still a loooong way off from 80... I wish!
Cool video style, great shots
Thanks Richard.
You know, I have a talk with myself every morning, and I say to myself -
"Look me, I know what your thinking, and I know I'm getting comfortable, so I'm going to keep pushing me to get better and better until the day that Richard Shipp approves".
Thankfully, I can now stop with the perfectly normal and healthy morning self-talk routine now that you've given me and I the nod.
Thanks for that. :)
Well I do have impeccable taste, so that is a good vlog business plan.
BTW I put you on my patreon list
Yes the wynns are very close you should meet them ............great video again smoking x
Thanks for the intel. ;)
I was going to mention this. They were just at the Piano, and also recently with the pigs.
Pull it in Ben. You don't need no stinkin' windlass! Molly good job on the go pro. Next time we need you to check the masthead light 😮😧
That's right! We don't need a stinkin' windlass!
AWSOME!
Good job!
Excellent video!
Tell molly she did a great job at editing this video one of her best one day she will teach daddy how to edit this good, thumbs up!!!
Can she also teach him how to not be such a weirdo?
Good to see you knocking around with that mermaid. Too bad we didn't get to hear her bashing out a few tunes... Looking forward to the next one mate, cheers for now... ;-}
Glad you enjoyed it, Shane!
Awesome. How clear is that water!?
Great intro! Very impressed
Loved the editing, but missed hearing Molly's voice (and I guess Tambi's and Ben's as well). Be safe guys.
Next episode will be talking.
Standby. :)
"Yarr, the looters stole my glass eye." (Removes eye) "This be a super-ball." (Throws the ball and it bounces away.)
Who is that? Sounds like a Captain Ron spoof.
Captain McAlister from the Simpsons,,,yarrr..
Great video as always especially liked the intro
Why thank you!
You guys are fun love the edits too.
Your videos are improving by leaps and bounds with each one released... Only suggestion is perhaps a tad fewer posed selfies and more action shots. The underwater shots rock! Well that and you should splurge on a windlass ;-). ASA 101 sailing course, next weekend.
Nah - the Benlass is how I keep my guns chiseled and manly.
Only can thank of one word..................WOW
Rofl! Epic photo bomb at the end there Molly. Ben, I mean this in the best way, you remind of Louis C.K, "monkey on the loose" :) Thumbs up guys.
I have no idea who the CK guy is, but I've heard the comparison more than once now. I need to see what's going on here.
Very good editing. 👏👏👏
Thanks. Good watching!
Summed up in one word, "cool!"
Missed the speaking comedy. But this was an Excellent video!! I don't have words like "ethereal" to explain the scenes other than Damn that was a good one!
I've been meaning to look up the meaning of that word. Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Love it!
That was something special.......like borderline artistic and s**t.
Well said. :)
no winless, no problem. H'YA MULE! PULL THEM ANCHOR IN!
Cool video!
Some great video editing :)
Thanks for that Paul.
awesome
Dude. Epic!!! 👌🙂👍
Thankya Sam!
Thankya Sam!
Where did you learn your video production skills?! Every time I watch one of your videos I don't see a video, I see a production. These things are amazing, you could market your skills, I can think of a few channels that could use your skills to make their vids more engaging.
Thoroughly enjoyed, as always.
Thanks for the compliment. My education in video editing has all been by way of trial and error. I learn by doing, and that's exactly how I got to this point - of which I still have lots of learning to do!
Glad you like our videos, and I always love hearing about how we measure up to other channels. I want to keep getting better and continue to grow the channel and our exposure to a point where we can really promote family sailing on a budget and help other people embark on adventures of their own.
Thanks for watching - and if you haven't already, please consider sharing the video. :)
What is the name of the chartbook Tambi was studying tonight? Where did y'all get it?
Those are the Explorer Chartbooks. There are 3 total. They are a bit pricey, about $65 if purchased new - but they're worth every penny. Excellent chartbooks for the Bahamas.
How do you even visualize what you're going to do with your video. Your creativity is ... well I don't know a good enough adjective to describe it.
I dump all the footage in.
I look through it and decide on a "mood".
I search for music that fits the mood.
I cut and trim the footage so that it;
1) Tells a story
2) Fit's the mood as well as it can
I watch the almost complete video over and over and make small adjustments.
I export it, watch the final cut, and see a dozen more things that I should have changed.
That's my process.
Well, let me tell you something, as a viewer/subscriber, you understate your process by an order of magnitude. Others do video blogs. Other cruisers do them. What they do, is start the camera and talk. maybe show a pan of a beach. Then there are those who have achieved some skill. The Wynns are in this level, I believe. They manage to tell a coherent narrative. Their videos are more interesting than the first group. Make a viewer want more.
Then...
There are those on your level. I'm serious. I have no way of even truly imagining your creativity, because I don't have it, and know my limits. You are an AMAZING videographer. Yes, if you had better equipment (read: could afford better), you'd be even more off the chain. But you tell an amazing story, every week, using what you have.
I have 25 subscriptions I view (mostly) weekly. Few, however, do I actually look forward to viewing, as much as I do yours.
May you always have the wind you need, the seas you want, and the willingness to go the miles...
(Fair winds and following seas)
Thank you very much for taking the time to provide that feedback.
It feels really good to know that we're making videos that are enjoyable - but are also on a high level comparatively.
Who would have thought that would be the case considering the lacking quality of our first videos?
Still, I'm not satisfied. There are so many times I cringe during my edits. Need to get better at narrating, smoother with the camera movements, and to gain better foresight during filming so that everything meshes better on the backend.
That's probably more than you wanted to hear but it helps me process those thoughts by communicating them while they're fresh.
Bottom line: Thanks for watching!
he shoots for the three......nothin but net sand flea wins the game.
good job Ben. BTW, Tambi looks like she would like to breath when snorkeling.
Swish!! Yeah - she can't hold her breath very long. She's good for about 15 seconds.
I've been trying to train her to hold her breath longer for the last 12 years or so. You see, several times a day, I produce a pungent odor that encourages her to stop breathing for a short period of time. However, I think that instead of holding her breath, she's simply become immune - and therefore has not responded as well to my secret training regimen as I had initially hoped.
The fault is my own.
How much chain are you guys keeping on your E32?
75ft.
Ya'll make me smile!
yes number 1 yippy hehehe love the video you mob rock
o sad just number 2
It's ok. You'll be number 1 next time I'm sure. :)
Sort of wondering if Tambi isn't that good yet at holding her breath for too long. Looked like she saw just able to get down to the mermaid before having to go back up.
Wonder no more: nope. :)
Grab a few heavy rocks before going out. Jump in holding one. Makes a HUGE difference on how long you can stay on the bottom. Don’t use half your oxygen getting to the bottom.
Coveting your anchor snubber rig. Would luv more details, either here or on Patreon...
Hey Mike. Ok, that's a "Chain Gripper Plate" by Seadog.
www.sea-dog.com/groups/451-chain-gripper-plate
I chose this over a standard chain hook because it's more redundant - basically we're riding to 2 skinners instead of only 1, which I suppose makes it more of a bridle setup.
I like it a lot.
the crew of the ruby rose have been there few days ago also nick and theresa on there southerly 38
I like the swabby cam
Me too. Shakey as heck, but fun to watch.
It reminds me of being a kid, the way she looks back at you guys and just checking stuff out all around. I do the same with my kids, then watch the videos of what happened later. Good fun
top edge video. ROD UK
Yeah .... great creativity, what software are you guys using ?
Sure. Using Screenflow for Mac.
Ahh ok I have FCPx never heard of screenflow will check it out ... why SF for you ?
Sailboat Story please
Hmm. I suppose at the time the price was right. It's $50.
Now, I'm just so speedy and efficient with it that I haven't really shopped further.
Headed to New Bern today to look at another boat. Sure hopes it is as advertised.
Good luck!
Just got back from New Bern. The boat just wasn't right. It could be made right with about $10,000 to $15,000 of improvements but that added to the purchase price just wasn't going to happen.
Yeah - most of them aren't as advertised, from my experience. You have to keep looking. If the boat could work, in spite of the expenses, go ahead and make the offer, if you're alright with the work required.
Keep looking. You'll find her. It's out there somewhere right this moment waiting on you to find her.
Muy bueno
Natures Head
nice
cool
I concur.
You should of named this "Fun with Go Pro's" or "How to make a video without a working microphone". LOL. Either way good video. Thanks.
Thanks! I feel like a name that would suit most of our videos would be -
"Well Edited Mediocre Footage".
Maybe I'm too hard on myself. :)
You're doing a fine job on your video photography but I noticed you still had problems working around Tambi's "posterior" in those underwater shots, you dog you. :)
To clarify, there was no "working around" occurring.
I was simply "working with". :)
