I must admit that I'm not a big fan of posting trip logs to r.b.c as
if everyone did it, the forum would be filled up with logs. A forum
such as r.b.c.logs would be appropriate...

I'm also not a big fan of e-mail logs, especially those where you
can't automatically enroll/dis-enroll. I tend to get too much e-mail
and if I'm busy, e-mails of this kind can get lost.

To solve these issues, a technology called RSS was developed which
allows your browser to watch "feeds" from web sites and only display
the latest content.

Since our cruising plans are currently in a holding pattern, I had
time to implement a RSS feed for my web logs. If you're interested in
this technology and/or subscribing to my feed, please visit:

Geoff, what kind of cameras are you using for your underwater
photography? I assume you have one for movies and another for stills?

Have you had any experience with the inexpensive plastic bag camera
enclosures ?


Wayne,

You can find descriptions of the equipment at
http://www.geoffschultz.org/photo_web_tools.shtml

The underwater video was shot with an Olympus C-8080 DSLR in video mode
which generates a 640x480 pixel image at 15 FPS.

I must admit that I've only used hard body underwater housings.
