The wind was gusting against the current today. I would say at about 20 kts. It felt a little bit like sport. ;)

I don't know what part is better, the music or the sailing!!

Michel, how do you mount your camera? My wife gave me a camera for Christmas but I have not had an opportunity to use it yet. Its a Polaroid Video Camera. The directions say you can mount it on a bicycle helmet but I think I would look silly (not that I already don't!!) sailing in a helmet! I don't have lifelines or stanchions to mount it on. Any suggestions? BTW, I don't plan on competing with the quality of your videos. I suppose I could hum a Christopher Cross song but I don't think that would quite equal your guitar work.

Thanks friend. :) I just hold it in my hand. This is for my small Nikon. I also have a GoPro that I fix here and there as best as possible for fixed plans. You can see that in many of my last year clips.

BTW, My video guru is definitively Dylan Winter. He is on such a level!... I use him as an inspiration. But...He doesn't play his own music!.. ;)

That will be a long time to wait! But the size of the fun often goes with thew size of the wait. ;)
