Landlocked plight. No sailing in sight.

Excellent idea. I'll have to do that with my boat. Maybe use an old tripod mount.

Thanks for the links to the pictures. (Can you embed them next time? Use the little button with the 2 mountains and the yellow sky, right above the typing window.)

Nice pics. Like you said, not much but still enough to make one pine for some sailing.





Also good video. I didn't want it to end. Nice how you mounted it so firmly. (And could see you being carefull, slowing down for various reasons. Too bad that car got in front of you. I'm sure you passed him later on.)

There was just a breath of breeze on this late Sept. day.

The company, food and beer were good but the speed--

I did get this cool camera. It is just 2X3X1/2 inches. I plan to take more pictures in the furture. It even makes movies up to 30 min on a 2 gig card. If I just remember to take it.

Here is a 2min movie made just to check it out.

Not sailing related but it showes the ability of the camera and winter weather.
