| Post subject: | TI vid from the Keys - a few quick wide shots |
My wife needed her nature fix yesterday, so she stayed on the Revo all day while I sailed the TI. This vid is mostly underwater shots she took while poking around in a sheltered area on the Gulf side, but there are three wide shots of me sailing close to her. Still no oil - the water is pristine - but nobody is down here. Every motel and resort has vacancies, a number of businesses are closed and not many boats out. We've been here since Monday and have only seen 3 sailboats in all that time - big ones that are a mile or more out from shore. No smaller craft sailing closer to shore - we're it. We've seen a small number of fishermen, but nothing like I was expecting. It's like we have the entire place to ourselves and it has some of the best sailing I've ever encountered - lots of steady wind, little in the way of chop, no wakes, no other boats to avoid, and lots of variety to keep me interested.

Mitch; Fantastic video tell your wife that’s she is great with the camera and editing. What is she using to hold the camera for the underwater shots? |

Great job on that video!  I hope they manage to stop the oil reaching this area. What a tragedy if they don't.  The TI solo looks very impressive. Can't wait to try that myself. Thanks for posting!  PS: Peddle=To travel about selling wares. Pedal= To use or operate a pedal or pedals. |

Thanks for that Mitch and wife. Really enjoyed it. Clarity around the mangroves looks pretty good at the moment. What's the likelyhood of the oil reaching this area ? |

No oil at the moment, but it may come in the weeks or months ahead. That's partly why we waited until the very *last* possible second to decide to drive all 1,100+ miles down here with our TI and Revo. |
