NOAA: Mostly cloudy, then gradually becoming sunny, with a high near 81. South wind 9 to 17 mph, with gusts as high as 26 mph.













Looks like a good day for the Marina. Wind S in the 5.8 range. Afternoon best.

Downgrade: Putting a 6.9 in the car.

Update # 2: Now they wanna upgrade

The Défi Wind Clinton Lake. All we needed was a couple of buoys. South wind set up 1.5 mile reaches in the main pool. It was great to go flat out with Perry, Rich and Ken.

Nice shots.
How do you orient the camera when you do your "drone shots"? Can you share a picture of your setup?
And are you setting the view angle on Linear or Wide?

Thanks, Greg. I use the Flymount on the mast. It's at the third batten. GoPro on 1440 wide. I put the left edge of the frame at the clew and board at bottom third of fame(port tack). The "drone shot" is what I automatically get on starboard tack. I've done it enough that I know what the camera sees while on the water chasing folks around to get the "drone shot".
