Slow day: Making videos

Sort of a slow, relaxing day around here, so I decided to put together a brief video highlighting some of my progress on Tradewinds. Not sure that this kind of video is my thing, but I thought I'd give it a go. I always enjoy boat videos, especially when winter rolls around. Maybe some others do, too. :)

By the way, it may sound odd to some that I bought this boat 10 years ago and didn't do much with it during that time. I suppose it is a little silly to buy a boat and let it sit, but Tradewinds was purchased as a project; we already have Ariel, a Cape Dory 36, which I've been sailing and maintaining for over 12 years now. I imagine I would have been moving a lot faster on Tradewinds had we not had Ariel. Owning and maintaining one boat is enough work, so it's not too surprising that the project languished. I started it up in earnest this summer for the reason(s) mentioned in the video.
