Lovely! Watched on my phone so couldn’t read the text; later on my laptop. Nice horizontal horizons, makes for easy viewing, thanks for that.

The thing that struck me was the lack of swell. Maybe it is the camera that flattens it out, loss of perspective. I would have thought that there would have been more swell.

The sailing looked great, even though it was upwind. Just fabulous.

Thankee.
Its a bit of a mix and match. The run to the coast was actually filmed last year on an SJCam - not sure which one as I am a bit of an action cam tragic. The seagoing bits were filmed on my new DJI Action3 which is a brilliant bit of kit and has inbuilt stabilization. The stills were taken at times assorted on assorted cameras.
Yes the sea was as it looks - maybe half metre swell. A few times it cranked up to a metre or so. I've done the run north twice - further offshore and -south of Anto - with lots more wind and swell

Nicely paced video. Gave a great feel for the leisurely nature of the passage.

Must have been a little frustrating motoring but better than bashing into 30kts all the way down.
