Look I'm not spending my money to make free videos...

However, if 400 sailnet members send $1 to CD. he will then collect $400 and send me the level thing...

That's it, off to Portugal she goes!!! She is timid on the helm, but I did teach her how to use the flares. This is from a safety seminar last year at Life Raft Survival Equipment, it took me and the instructor twenty minutes to convince her that she could set the flare.

Thanks Alex, either style video is fine, or both, take your time, I shall haul the boat next week for the winter.

Also, I think the production quality is great, it's real, some of the others are just not appreciative of your work.

That's the one Ajari . . . been years since I saw that. Youtube is helping to bring back lost memories.

I think if I was to do it, I would definitely use my underwater camera housing.

max . . . your wife and mine should have a drink or two together. Might help mine overcome her fears.

That's a good idea!

Either that or it'll backfire and they'll plot against us.

That was a very cool video...and cleverly done as well. Thanks!

Or it will backfire and they will confirm their fears with each other. Or, she tell me she wants a 33 ft cruiser with a big comfy pilot house!

Alex,
As a retired professional captain (200 Ton Master, Aux. Sail, et al) I was very impressed with the quality and clarity of these videos. I have taught many classes in my day, but I could not have done as well as you, a knowledgeable amateur, did in these videos. I even learned a couple of things, and I do still like to learn. Thanks for your effort and I'm sure you got some satisfaction from your efforts as well. Your son has a great teacher and I hope he continues his love of sail also. Great job! Hope to see some more, maybe this old dog can learn a few more tricks!
