Sailing from Vermont to Maine!

[dhill]

Hi everyone!

About a year ago, we purchased a 1987 Ericson 35-3 sailboat and sailed her from her prior port, Shelburne, Vermont, to Boothbay Harbor, Maine.

It was a great trip, traveling south on Lake Champlain, through 12 locks on the Champlain Canal and down the Hudson River to New York City. From there, we follow the East River through Hell Gate into Long Island Sound, along the Connecticut and Rhode Island coast to Buzzards Bay, through the Cape Cod Canal, and then turn north across Massachusetts Bay and into Maine.

Very nicely done indeed ("Carrots?"). I forgot how green the world is, and how varied the East.

Those memories will last.

Good times! With all the lock experience, you’re ready for the Panama - Marquesas trip!

Thank you Christian! I had many sources of video inspiration, yourself included!

Thanks!

Nobody can criticize your work but you. And it was good work.

Some tech points. Kids hold their cell phones vertical because they expect videos to be to be viewed on an iPhone. But people who may someday make a video always shoot Iphone in landscape. Also, in the editing program, you can crop many standard photographs to 16:9, so they fit widescreen view.

Or not! Great job, really.
