I posted up a video this week and someone suggested we run a competition throughout the season, a sort of YBW boating oscars.
I'm not sure I totally agree it should be a competition in strictest sense for fear of putting people off sharing their films with us. I get great pleasure in watching other people's boating lives and often the videos themselves might be quite crude but the story they tell or picture they paint most vivid. A longtail boat in Asia, a BBQ on the beach or some clever tricks with a new toy. We have even seen birds eye views courtesy of newfangled flying contraptions.
I would ask that only original work is posted here. We all enjoy watching boating oddities pinched from youtube but there is a whole forum for those to be shared. The intention is for this thread to be a bit more intimate, a window on the lives of the people who frequent the forum.
Although hosted in the motor boat forum it is of course open to all forms of water based transport be it power or sail, we all drink from the same cup.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to post your video.
