Islander 32 Aurora sailing and refit video

[Henk]

Here is a movie I made with Windows Movie Maker. Just a little 4 min. video. The first half is yours truly sailing and the rest is of the refit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U821nYO-qiY

Captain Henk,

The bones of the ancestors may be worn around your neck with pride and certainty. You have passed through a gate of initiation and clearly attained an understanding of the subtle forces of both will and surrender. To be a Maker in a world where wealth does not follow art is to bear a great tension within oneself. To what end is this drama of creation? Why dream of these things called boats? Is it but the polishing of my own pride? I decide that it is thus for me: it is a response to grand stirrings within me that are larger than this singular place and this one time. Humans create. Bravo Sir Henk. Totally bitchin monster film. Nice angles, good music, grin to finish it all, happy days. Thank you. thank you.

Hey Henk.....I meant to say what Robert said - only he said it much better!

[Henk]

Thanks for the compliments. It's been fun making the photo's, video's, refit, what's not to like about boats? (other than the cost)
