My first sailing video ....

So..... I've been wondering if I was going to post this video or not. It is of a 6 day trip from Stuart Florida to Greenport LI. Nothing special for many on this forum. I wasn't really thinking of making a video but when I got home in Stuart area and viewed the separate video clips, I started to think about how I could put them together for friends and family. So I took a course on lynda.com and after downloaded imovie to my MacBook Air. I had no skills at this to start and had to learn the app via youtube segments - a lot of them. A few days ago I finally posted it on you tube. Friends and family liked it. So I'm going to post it to this forum. I think many of you might think it's dumbed down and no doubt will call me on inconsistencies that I could slip by non-sailors. For those with limited attention span regarding other's video you may want to start at about 10 -12 minutes. It is about 20 minutes. Share if you like (I can't monetize it because of the music) so it doesn't really matter for me. I hope you enjoy! Let's hope the link works.

Looks like you are on a Tartan? What is the year and model please. What was you're maximum distance from shore? Thanks for the video.

That was a Tartan 37 CB. I think it was 1979 but I'm not sure. I think about 150 miles from shore.

Good video! I like your music selections.

I probably missed a few, but the only "dumbed down" thing I caught was calling the dodger an awning.

Thank you Andrew. An enjoyable video. Looks like you made the trip with relative ease.
