Night Watch

Haven't made a model one ,but made a real sand yacht with my brothers years ago when we lived up in Wick and would go to Reiss sands to run it at the weekend and holidays (not Sunday in the north of Scotland),fun days and a few bruises no crash s just goggles. Cheers Marky

Night Watch

"does that mean my wife (the Commodore) has to take orders from me?🤣" Yes Warrant, most definitely! Your Kevlar vest and underpants 😮 together with padded survival suit and bullet proof have been indented for and are on their way to you by express courier. Remind the 'Commodore' (Preferably by text message from the next state!😉) that she is only an Acting Commodore!! Which is an honorary rank which can be withdrawn at the discretion of the Fleet Admiral, ... safe on the other side of the Pond 😁 We trust that Hon Lt jg Ferrol 🐱 will stand by you in your hour of need 👍🤞 Good luck Warrant, Who Dares - Wins 🤞 FLEET//😎

Re: 40'' Seaplane Tender, first test run

RE- Excellent video jb, what program do you use Hi Rooky, thanks for that, I am using the Cyberlink Video Suite progrm (basic) which came as an free option with my computer. Can upgrade but will cost and will probably loose this one in the process. I have the camera on my bike which seems to work ok (as long as you set it on the right angle!) and no chance of dropping it. About as close to eye view as possible. Vids a bit jerky as I am looking round to see where the $1500 yacht is (and the buoys) camera is a 'Sportscam' Chinese thing, which I bought here for $100 and was almost as good as a Go pro till I scratched the lens and tried to fix it (hence the fuzzy spot)Has touch screen and remote as well. Tried to find another one but no luck. JB

Re: 40'' Seaplane Tender, first test run

They are a bit quiet with the top on Doug ''HIC, what rum"?😋, but I have the volume turned down quite a bit (take the lid off they are loud). Getting a nice loud electrical whine as well which doesn't help (although it sort of sounds nice in a funny way) The video editor I am using (to delete rug rat noise in this case) seems to muffle sound quite effectively once transferred to YT and cuts the clarity, (and also trims bits of the videos sometimes all by itself😠 -you can see a missing bit near the end,- bloody nuisance!) Need a better camera and editor! Got silly questions like "do you put your camera on your " (I have the camera on my at the time, "how fast does it go" (he's just been told I haven't tried it yet) etc et bloody cetera!😭 All the while you're trying to plug the correct wires in to prevent exploding LiPos etc! It's also amazing the stupid questions you get from adults at times,- at least while sometimes annoying, small kids have an excuse! JB

Re: DRIVING 2 BOATS AT ONCE

Hi Marky, a Go Pro type camera on my bike . Bit jerky as I'm trying to watch out for the damned buoys the sailing guys leave all over the place. JB
