Boy, you sure butchered those names, had me laughing. I saw my birthplace, Biabou. Thanks for taking me back in time, I loved it. Oh, by the way, the sands are black because of the volcano. I hope you had a fantastic time.
Thanks for the positive comment. That’s good because picking music and editing it in is a real pain! We’ve just got to get a handle on how to reduce the wind noise from the GoPro. And this St.Vincent compilation is even worse because a lot of the sailing was shot with a small Sony still camera on video mode, as the GoPro was playing dead for a day! Sorry about that. Take care. G & O
This video brings back some old memories. With a hangover of my life I walked the same trial as you up to the crater. The bus driver dropped us of almost by the sea level so it was a long walk that day.The breakfast that morning was a double espresso and we didn´t bring any food at all for the hike. Just 50cl of water. I remember that I was kind of exhausted that evening at our boat. Fun to watch your video.
Thats so funny! We can imagine trying to do this climb with a hangover :-) As you climbed from sealevel we assume you tackled the trail from the west coast. On the east side, where we started from, we were already 300m up. I know .... cheating. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Thanks for the constructive comment. Always welcome. Please can you tell us if the comment comes from the sailing part of the video at the beginning? Our usual camera is a GoPro 5, but in this video it was playing up so we had to shoot the sailing sequence with a standard Sony still camera in video mode. Our normal is to shoot with GoPro5 in 2.7k-wide, then render to 1920-1080 HD. Anything higher res than that (i.e. 2.7k or 4K) becomes too big to upload with our onboard internet restrictions (3G only). Can you give us an example of a high-end sailing channel, or favorite video so we can check it out.
Hello Glen and Oana. I'm impressed with the set and trim of the sails you achieve with CB. I've seen you adjust the leach (edited!) line of the genoa once, but that's all. So the question is, are you spending much time tuning with halyards, traveller, etc when we're not watching (sneaky!), or is CB just an easy boat to get the best from? I suspect it's the latter, although you could simply be very good at acting. Thanks, Rick.
Hi Rick. Well, Oana and I used to race a J22 before CB so we are constantly playing with the sails .... likely too much! Reality is that she is easy to trim ( CB, not Oana!). I do release halyards after each sail and retighten for the next, depending on the wind. The genoa is a really powerful sail but needs some attention on track-car position to open or close the slot. On the main I let the sail twist a little with full foot if we need power to push through heavy sea or chop. Smooth conditions I keep it flatter with tight leach and point 2-3 deg higher. The cutter is great just off the wind in 20+ knots, but I haven’t mastered it hard on the wind yet. Probably because the sheeting angle is too wide as it uses the same track as the genoa. I intend to get a snubber rigged to get closer sheeting angle. But bottom line, CB is a dream to sail, with Oana! Take care. G & O
Perhaps your cutter could benefit from a setup I saw on this video, by Selden, demonstrated on an Arcona 430. Looks handy. :-) ua-cam.com/video/4iX_BxvpbHM/v-deo.html
We haven’t seen the new HR64. I didn’t know they had made a new model. For us, as a couple sailing, anything bigger than 55 is too big to handle. OK when all systems are working but if you ever have to manually furl a sail etc it’s impossible with just 2.
Hi Paul, we use a GoPro5 on 2.7k-wide setting, then render to 1920-1080HD for the upload. Rendering to higher resolution makes the files just too big to upload. As it is, this St.Vincent video took 5 hours of 3G to upload. But on this video the GoPro was playing up, so we had to use our standard Sony still camera in video mode for the sailing and fishing sequences. Oh, and the the drone is a 4K camera on a Mavic-Pro drone. Its an outstanding piece of kit. Our next toy development will be to buy a gimbal for the Go-Pro to shoot smoother scenes. The gimbal on the drone is simply incredible. Even in gusty wind, the camera is rock solid.

Love the music, bring it on. It’s your signature and it is so relaxing with the drone footage.
Enjoyed your video, we have just subscribed 👍🏼
It is great to see fellow Brits sailing the Caribbean.
My favorite part, was the mountain goat crossing the bamboo bridge.

Thanks, we had a brilliant time. Sorry about the mispronunciation, I am hopeless! :(
It's a bit difficult on a GoPro, but we have now bought some fury things to stick on and will try it out.
Awesome video, really enjoyed watching!
Glad you enjoyed it. We love making them knowing you guys enjoy watching the fun we are having.
Well done, I enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks David. Nice to get such comments. Helps us keep shooting and posting when we know the footage is well received. Cheers, G & O
Thanks god no music .live long.
The lack of music is refreshing. Great job. Be safe.

Cool clip!
Very nice. Maybe it’s time to upgrade your camera. Colors and resolution seem a bit low compared with the higher end sailing channels. Thanks.

Sail Cloudy Bay Sailing SV Delos, White Spot Pirates, Sailing La Vagabonde are some nice examples. Thanks.

Thanks Rick, we will certainly watch that one.
what do you think about the new hr 64?

I hope you gave those shoes a much deserved burial. R I P.
