Troop 608 on the Housatonic Speed Version

For the second time in, well, forever, Troop 608 is in canoes (and kayaks), but going point to point, instead of just padding around.

Troop 608 at Deer Lake September '24
Просмотров 6День назад
Troop 608 returns to Deer Lake, formerly Deer Lake Scout Reservation - now in the thoughtful care of The Pathfinders. The Scouts work on getting their Ultimate Frisbee game in tune, visit Fat Man's Squeeze (I just fit), set up a short wave radio, run a campfire, and work on Advancement. Re-uploaded after we detected some typos, and with some refinements.

Voyages of the Blessed and the Damned, Dyer Dhow in Boothbay Region, '23

Six "voyages" in my Dyer Dhow 7-11, East to Southport Island; some went better than others. As I catch up on editing these, I fear I have fallen into the trap of telling the same story over and over again, only a different year. Oh well, that's the thing about RUclips, you dear viewer can always click away - as 70 to 90% of my audience does in the first ten seconds of most videos. There are no ...

Small Boats Under Covid Conditions, Maine, 2020

We're back in the Boothbay Region, with boats, but Covid makes it different. This time I will talk about cameras and boats, and maybe wax a bit philosophical. The sailing and kayaking was good, and was our once chance that year to really get out, and have some fun. We are, and were, truly blessed; we did not losing anyone in our family to Covid, and whatever economic harm caused was quite manag...

    I had a dinghy back in the 70's that was the same size (if not a touch larger) than your Dyer Dhow. It was not equipped for sails, but it DID have oarlocks and oars.... and was not dependent on the wind (and I bet it was just as fast)

      OK, serious answer; besides "That's not how cameras work" being a running joke (since a Scout, now in college, held a pose at Deer Lake), compact cameras, like Sony DSC series, and Olympus Tough, allow me to rapidly transition between hands on and shooting video - as I discovered at an Eagle project last year, when transitioning from shooting with a Sony prosumer to being useful, and back, proved to be problematic. The right tool for the job at hand.

My quick, cheep answer is, have lots of clamps on hand to help you get the wood just where you want it, and work patiently. I'll try to dig up more information for you, and get that restoration video in the can. Thank you for your kind words and interest.
