| July 2008 -
Greece. Ermoupolis Deathroll |
This video shows how unpleasant the swell was in Ermoupolis harbor in the Cyclades Islands of the Aegean during a meltemi. A few hours after we shot this video conditions worsened so we decided to leave, sailing out into the Meltemi in search of a sheltered anchorage. (37 secs.) |

Solo dolphin. |
We are suckers for dolphin videos. This is one of the best we have seen, The water is so clear and the Dolphin clearly looks up at the photographer several times. We thank Jeanine of WINDSWEPT for sharing this with us. (44 secs.) |
| May 2008 - Sardinia.
Snakes dance the horizontal tango. |
We came across these snakes on a hike to a prehistoric Nuraghe settlement. They were right next to us, the larger one (the male?) was about 5' long. They were completely oblivious to our presence. (51 secs.) |

| August 2007 - Sailing with dolphins on the bow. |
Motor-sailing along the south coast of Spain from Marbella to Nerja we found ourselves amongst a huge pod of dolphins stretching out over a mile. A group of about 30 swam along with us for about 30 minutes. (160secs.) |

| May 2007 - Transatlantic Crossing
videos; Moonstruck Transatlantic, Leg 1 Antigua to Bermuda - Fair Weather Sailing. Moonstruck Transatlantic, Leg 2 Bermuda to Azores - Fair Weather Sailing Rolling about a bit. Moonstruck Transatlantic, Leg 2 Bermuda to Azores - Dolphins Galore! Moonstruck Transatlantic, Downwind 8kts with Spinnaker up. |
For anyone that wants to see what life is
like sailing a small boat in the big ocean. Perfect sailing weather. The camera is fixed to the steering pedestal so you can see the horizon appear to yaw as the boat rolls from side to side. A school of about 50-75 small dolphins swimming in pairs hung around the boat for about 30 minutes. (+/- 60 secs.) Sailing fast downwind with the spinnaker up. Everyone is relaxed, lovely sailing. |
2007 CARIBBEAN |
St Martin, FWI. Sitting in a cafe waiting on
Lauren's flight to land. This one is cool - if you haven't seen the planes land in St Martin you should watch it. The islands have pretty short runways and in St Martin the big planes use every inch. The planes land right over the beach (see video above). The planes taking off are less spectacular but more dangerous as the jet blast literally blows people, towels, beach bags, hats and glasses off the beach and into the water. Here's a link to someone else's short (14 secs) video showing what happens to the people on the beach. Air France Taking Off |
