I have it on good authority these are all unused backplate scenes that were shot in New Zealand for the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies. Somebody pirated these out takes and keyed Desolation Sound placenames over them. The giveaway is the blue sky.
Sorry, Marin, that won't work. The word is out. The place will be absolutely overrun with cruising boats now.
Compared to where you are, it most certainly is!
Jim
If you imagine that Desolation Sound will look like that video in summer, you will be very disappointed. Every anchorage will be full, with many boats running generators. Prideaux Haven will be wall to wall full of boats, almost close enough to walk to shore across the swim steps. The inner harbor in Squirrel Cove can have 50-75 boats anchored, also almost touching. Expect to meet and by passed by large boats, running fast, with large wakes.
Oh, I'm not too worried about that. Fuel prices have already started back up here and the word on the street has it that oil will be back up well into the $100-$150 a barrel range by summer. Then we'll get marine diesel prices back up where they should be at $5 or $6 a gallon and that will keep folks away.
Worked last time.....
And it will be good for new airplane sales, too.
Marin was quoted saying "I'm not too worried about that".
What is "that" and where is whatever you are referring to? Don't see any other post on this thread by siestakey.
Don't see oil coming back up that fast but oil's always been a loose canon so who knows. I think it will take two or three times that long but I'm just a guesser re oil ....... like everyone else. But I just saw something on GPS (Global Public Square) ....... a book. The Accedential Super Power by Peter Zeiham. Freed Zackaria just had an interview w Mr Zeiham. Seems he really has a handle on this oil situation. But that's not what the book's about. It's about geography and our huge advantage in the world in this regard.
Tonic,
That's awful. Even worse than Lake Union.
JDCAVE,
Thanks.
