Very COOL! Blows me out of the water!:headb: :0

Its all good. The quality of your video seems a lot higher than the GoPro, more definition. I have a complete recording studio with a video editing suite so I definitely cheated...lol!

Well I have a MacBook Pro that does a lot of that stuff, GarageBand, iMovie and so on. I have been documenting my sailing adventures on DVD's for quite a few years now, but compressing longer video files for smaller up loads to YouTube challenges me. Do you remember how many MB's your video was when you uploaded it?

I do have a little Olympus Stylus Tough that is good for about 16' under water. Might just try mounting it on a kite some time. I think I will first experiment with attaching it to a pole and try holding it in front of the bow and dipping it in the water. Is that what you did to get some of those non aerial shots Rick?

Cool, going to try that with my Olympus.

Jeff, the GoPro has a fisheye lense that gives the wide angle look and is very forgiving. Good luck. Look forward to seeing it!

Typed during the 50th anniversary week of Cassius Clay winning the heavyweight championship. He became Muhammad Ali the next day, and far as I'm concerned the Poet Laureate.

"This is the legend of Muhammad Ali, The greatest fighter that ever will be.
He talks a great deal and brags, indeed. of a powerful punch and blinding speed.
Ali fights great, he's got speed and endurance. If you sign to fight him, increase your insurance.
Ali's got a left, Ali's got a right; If he hits you once, you're asleep for the night"

Your GoPro shots of the sail and the side of Thelonious are very stable. Like Ali doing the rope-a-dope!
