Hi Drew! This is very good vid. Most people don't understand how difficult is the video environment of a sailboat. You kept your cool and remembered technique! If only I had done so well on the Ogonori! Of course, you had calmer water, but still, great job. The editing is spot-on, nice flow from scene to scene. Timing good, never boring. Love the sequence at 1:24. Man, I want to do a deep water passage so bad ...

@stevecrye Thanks Steve! The stabilization on the CX550v is great. It really helps on action shoots doesn't it?

@Dblitz70 No external mic. That's why I had to drop in the music. The wind noise was pretty bad most of the time. I need to fabricate a furry cover for it.

Sweet. I love the Ratt hat Bazilly!!. Did I see a donkey with their jib upside down?

@torrey151

yeah, that was so funny I just had to leave it in. Someone's Doh! moment preserved forever.

Question - wind noise low. Did you use a screen and external mike?
