Surely you meant Close Reach. Didn't see the video but, according to the stills, your main jib are sheeted in all the way.

If you're on a broad reach, then the pointy part of your boat is at the wrong end!

You are quite right Dave. It was a close reach. Guess I shouldn't do messaging while listening to the Admiral and watching TV at the same time.

Dang, I'm impressed that you can even do the last two simultaneously at all. That would hurt most men; probably kill me.

You're forgiven for not being able to text at the same time.

According to Dave (not the poster Dave), the original posting was tongue in cheek So all of the stuff you, I, and Nathan have posted is taking the post too seriously.

Hey Ray - Yup. I got it that Berber Boy was kidding around ( by the reverse bend in mast) - I was directing my reply to Nathan, (and anyone else who wanted to know) though. I think his reply was less facetious!

Brian.

Well, I guess that leave me holding the cheese.

Ray

Hey what? There's cheese? Nobody told me anything about cheese. I love cheese. Give it back Ray.

Ditto on using the gopro software to reduce fisheye.

The time lapse feature is pretty cool also. Use the software to stitch them together for a video.

Well I have followed advice and removed the mast bend. The GoPro studio free download does quite a nice job with it and the colour rendition is terrific. Thanks Aaron and RussMT.

Tonight the Admiral has retired to her Computer and is not talking. So hopefully there are no typos or inaccuracies apart from the Aussie spelling of "colour" which being interpreted in the good ol USA is color.
