I keep watching. 3 times this week. NCC and EC 2014 are already in the works. Addict!

watching this, listening to this again and again and again. adventurer's are addicted to pain and exhaustion. it is sad thing but I revel in it. thank you for creating this memory.

I remember looking up at the camera rig... it looks pretty sophisticated! You crossed the bow of my boat around 1:36 (the 12.5' AMF Puffer 'Discovery'). Of course, for the rest of the day, I had Judas Priests' "Electric Eye" playing in my head....!

my wife and I are at the beginning, between HareonFire and the CS17, then our bout is later on, the Nomad. Cool vid, watched it about 8 times already. Thanks.

Simon, this was very good, I was surprsed at how stable the camera angle was. if you get time would be nice to see more about your camera kite rig setup. thanks for sharing.

LOL Simon... I was going for the 'spy in the sky' bit with Electric Eye! My mental heavy metal soundtrack for my offshore blast past Anna Maria, in through Longboat Pass, and down Sarasota Bay was Hell Bent For Leather (Judas Priest), In It For Life and 24/7 by Sister Sin, and Raise Your Fist In The Air by Doro Pesch. Now THAT soundtrack would have been good for at least 40 knots!!!

Our boat, paddled by my son and I, is the long triple kayak just left of the red kayak sort of center of frame at about 2:33. It's SEDA Kayak's 'Triumph', the first kayak to finish this event.

Hi Mike, "Electric Eye" is 25knots at your back, surfing down huge waves hell bent for Key Largo kind a tune for sure!

Not a sad thing at all, a little crazy maybe ;-) but also very inspiring. Thanks for the kind words on the vid.
