Part 2. Short video sailing on Port Phillip Bay

[percyverhance]

Sharing another short clip from our recent week out on the bay.Had a couple of light wind days and had a crack at flying the spinnaker.It was about 40 years since I had anything to do with a spinnaker and It wasn't pretty getting it up and back down again but did log a 40km run with it up.

If everthing works the link below should connect.Cheers

Thanks Chaps.
Yes Rob it was shot with a gopro and edited with some basic software that is available free from gopro.Its a bit of fun to muck around with.
Incidently I was speaking to my mate that works in Port Headland earlier this week Rob and told him to look out for a boat that looks like mine that might be sailing past.Like a lot of people,i have been following your trip with great interest.Cheers.Dave

Percy,

What model gopro do you have?

Hi Phillip.My camera is a Hero3+ Silver which I think may have just been superceeded.It can be remotely controlled via WiFi which is pretty handy.You just download the app to a smartphone or tablet/ipad.I have mates that have gopros mounted on remote control quadcopters and you can end up with some pretty unique footage.You can have a bit of fun with them.

Sounds too exciting, will have to look into it all.
