Anyway, today was just PERFECT wind from WNW steady at 15-20 mph with little or no gusts. I took my faithful dog Lucky. We walked down to the dock and its crystal clear and wonderful. Tide was full high when we untied and shoved off. Headed north with the last bits if the incoming tide. Just hauling ass close reached.
Sailed all the way up past Beacon. Tacked through the mooring field of the Beacon Sloop Club. Came about and headed on a broad reach back down river. This is when things really picked up. On that point of sail "Tidbit" just put her shoulder down and dug in for the run home.
Enjoy the video I hope it captures the exhilaration of a fall sail in the Hudson Highlands.
Nice video. Really captures that cool autumn feeling. What is your background music? It's a good fit.
ReplyDeleteIts just the generic music that comes with the flip video camera editing program. I started using it more and more when YouTube started to delete all the sound on my videos if I used copyright music. This way I don't have to totally reedit the whole video to match the music. I'm actually not all that fond of it its sort of elevator music but now its my signature song ;)
ReplyDeleteGood to see you blogging, you're probably happier not being pounded by the conservative, far right on the "Bilge".... those pretty thick skulls require a pretty thick skin.
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting to see Tidbit decked out in new lettering this spring.
By the way, here's my blog link, incase you're interested in my brand of stupidity: garrysherman.blogspot.com
