The best live performance I've ever seen. It's been told that Mick Jagger said that deciding to follow James Brown's performance at the TAMI show was the biggest mistake he ever made concert wise.

Clearly, you're not paying attention again. He said if the passing boat was going 15 knots . . .

Eric, I have no idea what you're hearing, but your surely not reading all of the posts. If you read all of the posts and not just one or two, you'll see the many reasons that many think they're better. It's not just speed! And, you're the only one that said "it's cuter and cooler". Nobody else...

Sorry, but the fins are not flexible. The trailing edge is, but the leading edge has a stainless steel rod in that can be bent if something is hit. As for going ashore, you can remove the Mirage Drives as you stated, but it's easier to simply put one pedal forward. When you do that, the fins...

They are built at the Tung Hwa shipyard in Taiwan. The same yard that builds Flemings. And, for what it's worth, Tony Fleming has complimented mine and says they're extremely well built boats also. After having mine for 5 years, I wouldn't have any other.

The best live performance by anybody, ever, bar none!

Hey Bob, were you on the Sacramento in the spring of 1991? If so, here are some pictures of your ship with you on it, on the way from Honolulu to Long Beach. U.S.S. Sacramento with the U.S.S. Ford Refueling And the best part? Taken from the Missouri. And the even better part? I took...

You mean like this one?

I've been waiting for someone to ask that. It's on autopilot. And, while I know it can be adjusted to hold a more steady course (rudder gain if I remember correctly), I really have no reason to do so in the PNW. Besides, in this case, if it ain't broke, I ain't gonna fix it!

Speed is typically 8-10 knots in these videos. And, 1/2 second interval really helps tone the chop down, but can still be somewhat annoying when it reaches a certain level. By the way, I switched to all 1/2 second intervals after this video, except for 1 segment crossing the Straight of...

Montague Harbour through Dodd Narrows to Nanaimo Montague Harbour through Dodd Narrows to Nanaimo For those interested, this videos includes different time intervals when I was experimenting. Some is at 5 seconds and some at 2 seconds. Notice the improvement at approximately 2:25. Changed to...

Darren, No problem sharing them on your Facebook page. As far as them being long, I figured that a lot of people would do just as you did - watch the beginning and end, and buzz through the middle, though I personally like to watch the entire video. Spy, Yes, the Pacific Yellowfin is quite a...

Yes, every 1/2 second. Early on, I experimented with every 10, 5, 2 & 1 seconds and they're generally fine (except 10 & 5 in rougher water), but 1/2 is better and doesn't take up that much memory. At some point, I'll post some of those longer interval videos as well, and you'll be able to see...

GoPro Hero4 Silver. Exposure every .5 seconds. Makes them a little long but much smoother. It took about 3 hours actual travel time. I have a lot more and plan to post more now that I know some people like them, but they take a long time to upload and I may wait until I get home, where I have a...

No. He wasn't anywhere around there then. Video was taken 7-12-16

Gorge Harbour to Prideaux Haven I make a lot of videos when I'm cruising, but I don't think any of them would interest anyone here so I don't share them. However, I've recently started time lapsing my cruises. I know that I've always been intrigued with almost any time lapse video I've ever...

If you want to at least get through Dodd Narrows, and Nanaimo is iffy for space, you can always use Percy Anchorage. After you clear Dodd, it's less than a mile to the east. You'll not have to worry about Nanaimo, and you'll be in position to cross the next morning.

Not true, at least not on the west coast when entering ports. Leaving ports - different story, in which case they're already docked or anchored.

They take on the pilots long before they enter ports and therefore probably long before you ever see them. And, at much faster speeds than you think (or could possibly paddle).

I've never heard of that. I've been many times, including a couple of times in August and it's always been roaring like crazy. This year I won't be able to make it until September or early October, and I'll go whether the falls are roaring or not, as it's so beautiful there, but I'm curious -...
