First the microphone is picking up way to much wind noise, get a big
foam ball for it. When you pan the camera around the motion is much to
fast and jerky. The passagers should introduce themself when they come
into the screen, or wave. The lighting was OK but a nice reflector on
the sail shot seems in order. Maybe a better script next time. And the
wardrobe dept should tone down the and mix costumes a bit better. Not
bad but could use some improvement.

The obvious stuff is that the lines are a mess, which is a hazard, and the
people aren't wearing PDFs, which is a poor example for children aboard.

Why does the guy steering have to stand on the swim platform? Shouldn't the
binnacle be further forward?

Line against hatch.

Wrong sail twist.

No handle in active winch.

End of throw line not fixed to boat.

I can tell you the errors without even looking at the video.

1) Cover is still on the compass.
2) Fenders hanging over the sides
3) Captain is way too fat
4) Women are pasty white
5) Jib is sheeted incorrectly so it's flapping.
6) Motor is running

It's a digicam, so really no simple way to cut the wind noise.

I was practically falling off the boat as I was holding the camera, my
binoculars, and my cell phone.

Around and about.... Music and astronomy are taking up most of my evening

Unlike the Fat One, I actually use my telescope!!

This is a recent example http://www.lanode.com/priv/astro/m64.jpg


My sailing has been limited for the last couple of years, because my teenage
sons were too old to come sailing with us, and they were too young to leave
at home unsupervised!! This year, we are going sailing again. My wife has
actually asked to go out on the boat. What more could a man want?

I also purchased a very nice telescope. It was a display model that I got
from the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It is one of the largest
that Meade makes. It is far superior to the One of Largess plus the night
sky in my area is completely devoid of any light pollution.

If your kids are starting to drive consider the Toyota Corolla over the
Subaru Impreza. It has a far superior crash rating, far superior gas mileage
and is 1/2 the price.

Wow! Bob didn't do his research. Meade continues to have serious
quality control errors and mirror defects. You better do a lot of
tests on that scope....which you did not buy of course. I now own a
Starsplitter 10". Look it up.
As for the Corolla....great car for kids, but no AWD which can keep
you out of accidents. The Subaru also handles better, stops better and
has more torque. Both cars scored good overall ratings in crash tests.
The Corolla scored better, but the Subaru is more likely to avoid an
accident. I'd avoid BOTH cars and do what I did...buy a Subaru Legacy
GT. It's well worth spending more and my Legacy as a full 5 star crash
rating just like all of my other cars. Bob is not responsible
suggesting the Corolla and Imprezza which are NOT 5 star rated.
I drove to MA last week and averaged 27.4 MPG in S mode aboard the
Legacy GT. That's amazing for a car that can do the 1/4 mile in under
14 seconds stock. Forget the Corolla and Imprezza.

And I didn't miss two years of sailing because I couldn't handle my
kids either. You can bet I'll do better when Thomas is older.

Donal, I forgot to mention that my Meade telescope is a custom built one of
a kind, made just for the Consumer Electronics Show. It was assembled by a
telescope maker of intertional repute, using the highest grade COTS optics.
It is not a factory Meade. I even had a concrete pad made just for the scope
which sit upon concrete pylons sunk 20 feet into the earth. Next is the
structure to put around it! I can remotely control with an extended bus from
my computer and replaced the eyepiece with a high quality scientific camera.
I hope to have it all together by September and will put up some pictures on
my website. I'm linking it with the local school so students can RC the
telescope/camera at night, it's pretty easy to do since I helped set up
their remote weather station too.

The Corolla is an outstanding value for your kids. 5 star crash rating for
the passenger and the driver. To get that in a Subaru Impreza you would have
to sit in the passenger seat and drive plus spend another 100% for the car
and 100% more for the lackluster fuel economy. You just can't beat a Corolla
for value.

4 stars for rear. There are 5 star cars available now, so why buy a
Corolla? It also has average handling and no AWD.
Buy a Legacy 2.5i or GT or any good car with 5 stars all around. Don't
get a Corolla or Impreza...unless you want an STI or something fun
