@ybravura Belated thanks... the yacht is my friend's. I'm the crew, navigating. It's a hellacious two-man trip. And I couldn't even capture the wilder moments on the waves, because there's work to be done in those rougher passages...

Thanks again, KOA/bravura -- and I loved your evil clowns skulking!

@SweedyLinda Sorry for the so-belated thank-you. I relive this trip wehn I watch the vdieo. One day I may repost it to our music site(s) with tracks from collab partners who did subsequent additions -- Tonestones (synth and more), and Reisinger (who hand-drummed) -- and I may redo the ass with REAL bass (vs. my octave-FX-lowered Stratocaster bass here)... and add the NOAA "seek safe harbor" storm warning that you hear at the end of this video. Thanks again.

I liked this!:) Good guitarsound!:)

The music's great, but the video's even better.

So, what -- you guys rich enough to own a yacht?

Well, that's cheaper than music software.

The bird, a cormorant diving for minnow-lunch, was a cormorant we watched after docking at Menemsha Harbor in Chillmark, Martha's Vineyard. I tried to time its dive with the descending low lead notes. A videographer I'm not... this is done in iMovie '08, that first, inflexible iteration of that app's facelift. Thanks for clicking, Matt.

This is like some crazy surfing vid only it's sailing! The transition are wayyy cool... though I do have to wonder about the bird eating the fish... but all in all, the music is great and fits this video very well.
