Been messing around with my video software and put this together. Hope someone enjoys it.

Thanks for that video.
Very good I enjoyed it.
Could I ask what were in the yellow containers on deck?
kind regards,

[sailvayu]

Glad you enjoyed it. The containers had diesel fuel in them. On the outbound trip we had to motor sail due to very light winds. I carry 40 gallons aboard in the main tank and carried another 40 on deck plus 10 gallons of fresh water on deck just in case. I used about 60 gallons on the outbound trip and about 50 on the return but we motored for 16 hours in the waterway.

That was really cool, Wayne! Although, I'm sure it wasn't very cool getting beat to death like that. Thanks for sharing.

I have added the Outbound video as well

Thanks Captain! Mark did a good job framing the sea in his selfie interviews.

nice vid! Any advice on how to keep wind noise out of the audio? I have problems with that all the time.

[sailvayu]

In the return video I simply lowered the volume of the wind noise in the editing software. But this is a real issue and It makes many videos impossible to watch with the sound on. I came up with a simple fix for my camera. I cut a little piece of foam and use Velcro to attach it over the built in microphone. This really works well it does not fully eliminate the wind noise but makes it a lot less and you can still hear talking and such just fine.
