i couldn't remember this one when i sat down to write the one above..

-users who access a particular webcam be given an option to click for more frequent updates from the cam, and similar to webcam controls, it would be on a timer, so it would expire to preserve bandwidth

idea for your spare time dave

-a time lapse view for the island map, and south island map pages, would really give an interesting look at the way wind develops and changes in a day

Ya.....that, and you can get a small wind generator at cantire for under a grand, and the small vawt is 6500$$$$$!!!

these guys claim more efficiency, no noise, best use of wind even in turbulence, lowest startup speed, and no upper limit on wind strength.. "In real environment testing in the Archipelago of Finland the Windside Wind Turbine produced up to 50% more electricity in a year than a traditional prop...

I remember a documentary from years ago about Jacques Cousteau designing and testing vertical turbines for use on ships. His design worked, and allowed for up to 30% fuel savings I believe, but of course it was spurned due to the cheap availability of fossil fuels. It is referred to as the cousteau ...

thanks dave, i'm not sure where the change was applied, but i meant to say on the home page message board, that's where i think it would be helpful to have the day of the week in each post next to the time etc...

Hope you're havin a Great Day!

John shared something with everyone he met. It is something that those who knew him longest appreciate the most, and it is what they share of his memory. It makes many of us wish we'd known him better, and could have known him longer. He carried the word friend in a way that was equal to everyone. H...

As an ocean kayaker, windsurfer, and kitesurfer, the elements of wind and weather are naturally vital when translated carefully into useful information. I support all efforts by Environment Canada in their progressive effort to provide and convey that information. Specifically, I use many of the wea...

Nice clip, good edit, the board looks like it belongs in real WARM water tho :P If you're wondering what that foggy sort of region just off the front of the board and over it and close to the mast , and the camera....my theory is this... if you see people doing pro film shoots or movies, they are of...

Nice Work ! Good Music !

You should be able to search out your video by whatever text you put in the tags box in youtube, when you are logged in as the video owner.
The tags box is next to the red arrow in this pic..

fish stories can get ridiculous, but it still might be fun to have a "log of the week', or a collection of logs that people have found most entertaining (might require confirmation of entry by other sailors to ward off any leaning toward fiction!)

When your fingers are too froze to hold a camera, attach to head...doesn't it say that in the instruction manual?
