Video of my wet trip out thursday

[matt13]

The video itself was under an hour so edited it down to 14 minutes. The first time I have used the GoPro HD camera, only problem is I had to upload in a much lower resolution as the file was way too large so the quality is not how I would of liked it.

As you will see at the end coming back to berth my mate didnt tie off the stern line properly so as i applied a bit of power to bring the bow in the boat just carried on moving forward and the line fell in the water, luckily he grabbed the bow line and tied off so I could bring the stern in. Was thankful the rope didnt get caught in the prop!

Here is the vid, I dont think it is available on a mobile device

David, I did see a Phantom moored opposite Rising Sun and wondered if that was the one you were on. Nobody on it though so maybe you were taking refuge in the pub!?

Pic quality looks great to me Matt. Interesting for me coz we've just bought a GoPro. Have you used the suction pad on the ezteria of the boat yet whilst underway at speed? Tell you what...you try it first and if it stays on...I'll try it.

Hi Lisa , yes I used the suction mount on the windscreen. I did have a back up plan though I attached some string to it from the boat incase the worst did happen! But it held firm wherever I put it. Really impressed with the camera, used up 2 batteries though so I suggest getting a spare if you haven't already.

I can assure you it stays on - I have 2 and the suction cup is amazing. It really does, well................. suck

No, was not me. I was actually in the classroom at Ocean Quay doing some theory work

The videos always look better with a blue sky though! Looking forward to testing the camera out if that ever does happen. Think we deserve a great summer now after the weather we have had!
