    Another great documentary. Nice to see Nick following in Teddy's footsteps and encouraging others to follow his. Very slow towing behind a boat is a great way to see the reefs. Simply letting the boat drift and hanging onto a line works well too. No engine noise to possibly startle fish. Done both a few times.

    Wow! A Hungry Bay Bye here. Am I late catching this video!! Well done. Never done the Seagull race but have had an interest since the late 60s when the race started out of Devonshire Bay. A place that is dangerous to those unfamiliar with it. Ran as an unofficial crashboat a few times in the early 2000s. Unlike so many motorsports, this is one that has class and style without breaking the bank. Nice to hear so many familiar names.

    I find the usage of ai deeply offensive, the voices you are trying to uplift through the tools that steal so much work from, notably black artists, are voice that do not benefit from stolen work. hiring certainly does cost more but it would've brought a work of a much better quality and most importantly isn't so fucking tone deaf

    Great to see my old friend and Liberation Dancer colleague, Keita, along with so many other familiar and dear faces. So much unwritten history here. Dale, you've got your work cut out! My father, Lance Hayward, briefly mentioned here, and his cousin, Robert, had a music studio above what is now a clothing store on Court Street, where he taught piano and voice and where the plays performed at Opera House, were written and rehearsed. It was also where the Hayward and Hayward Chorale rehearsed. They made "unsung" history by being the first troupe to do a North American performing tour in the 1940s, to great Canadian acclaim, per newspaper articles from that time. Thank you for this documentary. It brought back many fond memories.
