Producer/Directors are always behind the cameras. This was not good enough for me, especially since I went to acting school. So whenever I saw the chance and an audience, I got to perform. Here I am doing a warmup of the audience for the program Switchback at the Holy Heart Théâtre.

Here is another of the wonderful Wonderful Grand Band shows that I directed in the '80s. This episode makes fun of the two Open Line hosts of the time, Bas Jamison and Ron Pumphrey. Special guest on this show was Peter Francis Quinlan and this must be one of the only videos of him. I ask you to take special note of the final scene in which Greg Malone plays two characters.

    I was 9 years old when the Cabot 500 celebrations was happening. I remember bits and pieces of it. A specific memory was when the Matthew sailed to St. John's Harbour and there was thousands of people down at the Harbour Front. This weekend I visited Bonavista for the first time with some friends. Beautiful community and we hoped the Matthew Legacy museum was open but it is closed for the season still. Would be great to see that Ship again and Learn more about that celebration and the history of John Cabot's discovery of Newfoundland. Can't believe its been 27 years since this. Thanks for uploading this! It was fun to watch.

    He also wrote a book called . "An excellent booke of the arte of magicke" which resides in the British library as manuscript 36674. It's the account of him summoning ( in the most protestant way possible) a series of spirits and demons with the help of his skryer John Davis into a crystal. Funny they should include an appearance by his spirit in the film. For anyone interested in the book it's available on scarlet imprint as transcribed and edited by the wonderful Phil Legard. The edition even has manuscript scans so you can read in in his own hand. Cheers....history is even weirder than we care to admit lol.

    Hi Wayne, we have a Delta 17.5T and paddle in lighter/safer conditions. I am keen to fit a Falcon 1.4m² sail. How have you found the performance and ease of use, and more importantly, any issues with failures, especially damage to the boat, upper deck in particular? Any advice is appreciated.

    • @GuzzyNL
      @GuzzyNL Рік тому

      Hi Alan, The sail works wonderfully on a double kayak. On a single, it takes great care not to flip over the kayak in gusty winds. I use the same sail on both my single and double kayaks. Have had the sail for five years now and there has been no damage to the deck. You just have to follow instructions closely when doing the install. In particular, make sure the support leg under the deck is tight and actually supporting. The performance is amazing and you will be able to tack into the wind. It is a joy to sail the kayak. In stronger winds you will need to use your paddle to help steer as the narrow kayak rudders cannot totally handle it. On long trips, I am so happy to use the sail to get me there with ease. I kayak only in the North Atlantic. Lakes are too tame for me. The sail and all supporting equipment have held up really well under sometimes harsh conditions. Highly recommend the Falcon sail. Enjoy!
