Excellent! :clap:
I got it. The view was there, just before the dizziness started.

If you're not having fun sailing you're doing it wrong.

Ha! Thank you for sharing. At least you are out on the water.
We’ve all been there - when an idea goes sideways, or starts to spin out of control.
You’ll figure it out.
Thanks for the laugh!

Man that’s calm. As we say, a ‘glass out’.

I have a GP Mount on the headboard of my main. Every now and then we hoist up a session an let it run in time-lapse or stills mode. Here’s a time lapse, first looking aft then fore, depending on the jibe.

pic from up there on masthead with my gopro knockoff CJcam. Have video too but bit nauseous from spin around while going up and down on halyard. May show sometime.

Nothing special here, but if you want to see dead calm: can actually see the mantus lying on the river bed -- the chain alone is holding us with no need to actually set the anchor. Lazy Lazy Lazy-- thank goodness for the boom tent.

Will definitely have to work up some different views of real sailing:) @Jacktar , love the mast head timelapse.

and I goofed-- @Jackdaw love both versions of the mastheads shots... you two are too close for comfort on the @ scale :)

I love a GoPro for the fact that you can stick one just about anywhere. I have a permanent mount on my main sail's headboard as well and the view looking down as the sail goes up is one of the coolest I've ever shot in my opinion. I keep thinking I need to strap mine to the dog and see where he goes while I'm at work but I might not want to know.....:rolleyes:
