|
|
This video is of us going from the open Gulf of Alaska through dry pass located in the designated wilderness area of Chichagof Island, Southeast Alaska. We had been through this pass once before in 2007 at about 4 AM with very little light & fog into much rougher water than in this video. What made this passage somewhat more difficult this time was it being very early in the year with us most likely the first boat through, so the pass was filled with kelp.

Charlie, no more short videos edited at the present. You tube now allows 15 minute video up loads, so will edit some more out of the 7 hours of video I have on the computer. It does take time though. 3 hours alone just to up load a 10 min video, let alone the editing & rendering time involved to make a Internet video. I spent the last couple of weeks making my own High Definition BLue Ray DVD's of last summers cruise. It takes about 20 GB of data for a 1.5 hour video, but on a big screen tv it looks awesome. I'm always disappointed in how the You tube video looks. It's supposed to be MP4 quality video which is designed for internet streaming & does look decent when made to a blue ray disc, but still no comparison to the MP2 rendering for the blue ray disc I use for home on the Sony Play station connected to a big screen TV.

Very nice Jay.. We often get in discussions about the need for twins. I would say going through a dry pass at high tide is a great time to have twins on the boat, especially with ell grass and kelp issues like you encountered.
You sure have a ton of electronics on the boat. I counted 5 different screens. Love it. I'm a gadget nut as well. I toured the Broughtons this summer and was glad I had everything on board. Many times the fog was so thick I couldn't see two boat links.
Thanks for sharing your trip Jay. Keep them coming. _________________ Mike Hamilton / Hambone C-Brat # 4612

Jay, thanks for the time and effort you put in to make and post the video(s). I don't know if it would be any better, but I watch some other folks' videos on Vimeo, and they're pretty high-quality/resolution. Maybe that would be better?

Or perhaps just two working engines? I think a lot of us do have two engines; they just don't happen to be "twinned."

A 90 and 6 or 8 may not get you through there like two 50's might (if the big one quits). Just sayin'.... BTDT.. |

I know we all buy what we feel is the best for us and there is no right or wrong, but spending a life time on the water, for me I don't even go on the water with someone else unless they have twins. To many BTDT things that really scared me, and I don't scare easlly. JMHO...... |

Jay, that was interesting! You need some more hands to work all of the controls, electronics and the camera! _________________ "And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." - Abraham Lincoln |

AWESOME VIDEO! I am a new Cruiser owner who looks forward to adventures like this in the Pacific Northwest. Hey brats, lets keep these videos coming. It informs everyone (like the chartplotting ipad) about our boats capabilities and helps boaters get through the long cold winter.

Sunbeam, In the past, I used Mydea as a video host for my Internet videos. At that time their video was a much higher grade than YouTube. Switched back to YouTube when their quality improved & the cost zero, compared to Mydea at $100 a year for 250 minutes. Vimeo is a viable alternative, but not for me due to my working with a Sony Camera which uses the AVCHD video format requiring the Sony Vegas Editing Software which directly links with YouTube & converts well to MP2 which is hard to beat for high quality blue ray viewing on TV.
Mike, I agree in confined areas with rocks about & surging water from tide & wave mixed with kelp, the twins with that extra power if one motor does go down is an advantage in my opinion. Twins or single with kicker that can be quickly put into use to adequately control the boat in these kind of situations is much preferred to me than a single alone.
Yes I do have an abundance of electronic charts & the funny thing is in some of the remote locations, I've have had all three GPS,s show me in different locations with none of them being correct, thus making it imperative in making these passages to have your visual references overrule at times the electronic indicators.
All, thanks for the comments.

Jay,
Thank you for the video, which was very enjoyable.
Joe,
Actually, when Jay mentioned the presence of kelp, my thought was that a kicker would be more of an asset in that situation, because if properly installed it can operate at a very shallow angle in the shallow water mode. I have been stuck in gunkholes in the past in which the main engine could not be operated, but the kicker got us out. In those situations, four main engines on the stern would not have gotten us out -- only a kicker as I described.

Ah, I see. I've watched videos on Vimeo and YouTube, but I don't know much about the production end (I'd like to start learning though). It does sound like there would be a bit of a learning curve - starting with choosing formats and software. Whew! |
