a sailing video


Inspired by Webb's videos of sailing across the Indian Ocean*, numbering up to nine now, I intended to take the GoPro sailing with me on the Pasquotank River in Elizabeth City.  It was forecast to be a perfect day, and it was even better than perfect: a stiff, steady west wind, not a cloud in the sky. About the time I crossed the North Carolina state line I realized I had left the GoPro at home.  So I used my phone instead.  Okay, the Pasquotank doesn't really compete with the Indian Ocean, but it was a really wonderful day on the water.

*Inspired also by Barry, but I'm not even gonna compare my phone video to his fine sailing videos.
