On this video there was a lot of sound sync problems for me.
Even when I turned off the HD playback feature.
Also picture quality did not seem to be as sharp as your other videos.
Hope the replacement camera will work better for you.
I'm not a big fan of anything that does not breather under me.
I agree with your comment on insultex. IMO Insultex is a very poor
choice of insulating material since it's basically non breathable plastic
packing material with a fancy name. Yep it's light and cheap but that's about all
it's got going for it.
thanks again for sharing your trip I always enjoy you videos.
Hey BlazeAway,
Thanks for posting another video. I really enjoy the scenery and the birds chirping in the background.
As for the Playsport camera, I have one and find it works great. If i just take the SD memory card out to play the video from I find the sound and picture are not in sync. I have to convert the video clips in my computer with a program I believe comes with the program. I have not used it a lot so I am unsure exactly how to tell you to do it. I'm away at work offshore for three weeks on Monday. I will try to figure out how to fix the speech / video sync and let you know.
Good job, BlazeAway!
If you are getting condensation when using IX, try slacking off the suspension. It sounds like it may be too tight, which puts it in direct contact with you at the lowest point.
Sorry to break your heart with the Ocracoke video! Our little vessel was purchased by a Swede, who refitted here, then took her home via the Azores.

The old camera was a Canon IXUS 800 IS which I will be using for still photos. The new is a Kodak PlaySport Zx5. I have just send it back and should have an replacement within days.
As for Insultex it might have its uses, but not as a breathable under/top quilt.

No FIN, the problem is in the camera. One can watch the video on the PlaySport as soon a it is shot and the sync problem was there from the beginning.
Anyway there is a new on its way in the mail and I should have it within days.

Insultex. Try slack off a down under quilt and you end up with cold spots (of cause not if it is very hot). I recon the same principle applies to Insultex.
I thought I could recognise the brand of your ship from a photo and now you say that a Swede bought it. Bet you it was a Hallberg Rassy.
You can vary the tightness of the suspension with down UQs or with IX UQs. We're not talking about much. Just make sure the UQ is not tight against you at the low point. The single layer sock-style IX UQ has no differential cut, so you have to manage the 'gap' at the points of contact with yer backsideQuote:

We were able to make 7.5 knots under power, 9.5 knots under sail, and 12 knots with both. Here's another picture of her with me, Smiling Face, Thing1, IronK and Jennifer aboard. And here is Scuppers the Sailor Dog off watch visiting Jennifer's boat.Quote:

As for under quilts, I have acquired one of each so to speak.
I have a HH SS, a single layer IX UQ, a DD hammock synthetic under quilt, a WB Winter Yeti, a HG Winter Incubator and a Speer PolarPod.
I like the quilts in the opposite order than mentioned.
The two first mentioned, apart from being under quilts also work as vapour barriers.
Attached is a picture of my second ship (Tiki 26) which I build my self, and sail it could.
I always wanted to build a trimaran with a Tiki-like vaka, and long dories as amas, one of which would be detachable.Quote:

Got my replacement Kodak PlaySport Zx5 yesterday. Is has exactly the same problems as the old one. (Got both from Amazon.co.uk)Quote:
