    I just had to say this is an excellent production. 9:04 Cecilia sits in the chair, cut to closeup of hands on controls, cut to view of controls, cut to Christopher, cut to UAV view of the boat, all overlaid with tranquil music. .... It's all so smooth I had to watch it a few times to see that the sit and the closeup shots had two landscapes. These vids show us a piece of the world most of us will never see in person. It's all so peaceful even when the waves are choppy.
