Nice! But I guess it wouldn't work too well with a sea-hood.

Great fun!!
The acyrlic was welded with acyrlic cement. I had thought of bending it but it is 1/2" thick and it would not do the radius I needed. The TAP plastic guys said the welding is as strong as the material around it. I routed the edge with a roundover bit, then brushed it with a propane torch.
The possibility of the sea hood is totally eliminated. I have had minimal water intrusion from under the hatch. When the Triton has spray, I am most likely at the helm.
The Berkeley fire department trains with their large ladder and pump trucks here in our marina. I have thought of asking them to stress test the hatch by spraying it with hoses but imagine they have more important things to do.
The filming was fun. I have a remote for the camera that lets me start it and stop it. Next time the tripod. A skeletal script helps you not look like such an idiot. From filming, to editing and titles, to web publishing in about 4 hrs. My hair is swept back in twenty first century acceleration, Guttenberg had a lever!

Hate to dissapoint, but the boat is in Berkeley, not oakland. I DO live in oakland though. and bleed every week the silver and black blood. I tried the estuary but I missed the powerful winds of the central bay and grew tired of dodging tugs and container ships.
I have a Canon Elura 100. It uses both media cards for the still camera, and mini digital video tape with the video camera. It has an onboard stereo mike that I used for the sound. I think the compresing that had to happen top get in on the web lesseded the picture quality a great deal, but not somuch the sound quality. I amn going to try the vidseo poscast route for the next little film, it allows twice as many frames a second more thatn the web brodcast.
The camera's lcd(?) screen turns around so you can see your self as you film. It has a remote that I can use to stop and start it. I got it for around 5 bills at best buy. this camera has the higher resolution receiving screen(?) 1k or something.

Sorry about my confusion - I know Berkely very well too as that is where I first landed. I loved to go to Spengers after a good sail in the slot. I will never forget how accomdating and helpful everyone was to me when I showed up with my boat in Berkely. At the time I was among four other Tritons and one berthed right next to me. After I moved to the Mission I moved my Triton over to Alameda because that is where I worked. For a month or so I was doing the traffic trifecta from hell - Mission to Alameda and after work over to the marina but traffic in the afternoon was murder.
Anyway, I miss the bay and all the good folk there. Happy times.
