Will review your footage soon. We just had a long day sail today. Fishing involved paying a couple of kids to arrange BBQ fish for us to collect from the beach. Now thats my idea of fishing!
Peak sailing season here in Philippines with regular 30kt trade winds. I swam at a nuclear power station!
Looks like a nice day. It’s now peak sailing season in Philippines so been busy. Off tomorrow for 9 day sail around Mindoro. No videos from me.
We got clobbered by a huge storm last week which caused damage to marina structure and I got a small hole in one of my hulls but 6 inches above waterline so ok. Hole and marina now fixed and weather is good now with hopefully no more bad weather till June. Here is brief drone footage today from a friends house:
Looks like a nice day there. Here in Philippines I had a day at the beach. Here is snorkelling footage. The dive boat pictured was full of Oz SAS troops having a relaxing day diving.
Really like the Osprey footage and is a strong candidate for an award. Here is a full scale one near me in Subic Bay that has been flying over us a lot. No new vid from me.
Chicken soup is so last millennium. Here in Asia we swear by Frog soup. Here is a typical recipe: https://www.seriouseats.com/the-nasty-bits-frog-soup-1
Glad you are getting sailing weather and monsoon season has ended in Philippines so nice sailing weather here every day. Here is drone footage from a couple of days ago with 6 on my boat and an extra dinghy.
Glad you had no wind as here in Philippines there was a super typhoon (equivalent to a Cat 5 hurricane). Being a good skipper I left my wife home alone and went to my boat all night. Around midnight it was 40 to 50kts gusts on the boat with a lot of rain. So no drone footage today but here is brief clip from my phone. My boat had no damage but my phone got rain in it from taking this video which then puffed up the battery. Anyway phone now fixed with a new battery and glue.
Well it was tough to decide between the videos and a historic draw is apt. Seeing as both winners are BFF, in line of sight, flying range of each other and with their own private airstrips maybe you can have the award for 2 days then fly it over and drop it on the other airstrip and repeat back every couple of days.
The yellow Cub was great but I could not see if it had wing struts? its not a cub without the struts. I like Kermits soft focus video but where are the Ooops shots? They are the only part I usually watch. But I did like the frog chorus sound track so my vote could be swayed.
No footage from me this week as had a week of rain due to a nearby super typhoon. I want one of those Ospreys, looks great. We have so many full size ones flying around here. Be good to see footage with the camera facing towards the tilt rotors to see them moving in flight.
