Guest Yachtsman1 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Following a prod from Lennart I have decided to publish our story, warts & all, of our experiences buying a Moody 40 sailing yacht in Corsica, After an extensive re-fit, sailing to the French mainland then, over the next 9 months, coast hopping south to Aguadulce in the Costa del Sol.Mechanics, 500 + slides, 125mb, slide size fixed at 1024x768, 61 minutes run time. Numerous music files including a voice over. 90% of the pictures were taken at low res on the original Fuji almost a Dslr camera, with very little knowledge of editing. The show was up-dated last year, the pictures edited & a new sound track via Audacity added. It contains many family photos so no apologies for that. The sequal, "Homeward Bound" has also been re-made & if Lennart likes this one I may add the final part. Warning, scenes of partial nudity at the end of this one.

Guest Yachtsman1 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Hi KenThe 10th anniversery of the sale passed earlier this year. I had it in my mind to tackle the previous owner when we finally sold the boat, but never did. The complexity & costs of a civil action put me off. Ironically, we now live within 10 miles of where he lived, suffice it to say if I ever meet up with him, he will remember the meeting.Regards EricYachtsman1.

Esc Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Thanks Eric!What a trip and what an adventure.In St Cyprian I got seasick. Like Ken the interval came as a relief.In all I was reminded of my 40 years in motorracing.Lots of ups and downs. The final shot came as a shock. /Lennart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Yachtsman1 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Thanks Lennart.Got the SX30 today, took me an hour to fit the neckstrap, then another hour to fathom how to remove the hot shoe cover, hope the rest is much easier. First impressions OK. Regards Eric Yachtsman1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Cox Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 ERIC did you let Margaret have a go or is the neck strap tangled in your watch band like handcuffs you'll likely take it to bed and whisper in the viewfinder "you be good or i'll dump ya" tomorrow night you will have a good handle on it ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
