At the suggestion of one of our former sailing instructors (credit to Brenton Lockridge of Blackrock Sailing School), Bob and I have decided to produce a sailing video blog series entitled we AReGONe!
The purpose of the video blog is to share:
- our love of sailing
- mishaps and learnings
- preparations for extended cruising
- our journey
Check Out Our First Video
We hope you enjoy and please share your feedback:The Making Of...
Bob brings a wealth of technical and musical expertise to this effort. His astuteness for and years of professional music production is fascinating for me to watch, but I am a bystander for these aspects. Bob's prowess with video editing and willingness to teach allowed me to explore new territory and immerse myself for hours as we built the story line and overlaid different visuals with audio and applied effects. The writing, tone and cadence was where I took the lead.

A recent run of bad weather including being stranded on the boat helped us focus to get the first video done over a few days (three loooong days until wee hours of the night!). Anyone who has done a bit of video editing has an idea of the amount of time that goes in to even just a short piece such as this. It is safe to say that our video blog episodes will not be nearly as regular as our blog posts and I have a long way to go to improve the speed and scope of my editing skills! We both promise to improve our on screen presence and Bob will take his Ritalin before the video takes next time.

We are not yet sure of how many video episodes will be produced or the frequency. It is likely that the next episode will outline preparing to venture off shore to Bermuda. Stay tuned!

| Until next time.... we AReGONe!! |
