video running the south shore of long island new york

[vinny p.]

I just got a new digital camera. I went out for a run the other day with and attempted to take a short video. It was a bit difficult since I was out by myself. So, holding the camera and steering wheel keft the throttle by itself. I slowed to about 60 mph which was a comfortable speed not requiring any pulling back of the throttle with the current ocean conditions. For those of you who are familiar , this is running East out of Jones Inlet along West End 1 and 2.
I am not a computer guru, I hope this link works.

Great job of driving and filming. Looks like you had your hands full...must have been choppy or you were getting some serious porpoising?

Like the sound of your motor!

Sounded GREAT when the camera was behind the windshield!

No chop at all. This hull will not porpoise at 60 mph. There was a good sized widely seperated role causing the jumping. Once I got the speed set right, the prop would stay in the water. The next time I will have someone with me, so I can run faster and get some throttling and jumps over the crests of the waves.

Don't quit your daytime job! I think the Oscar for best documentary is still safe for another year.
