I took my son and two of his stepdaughters out sailing Thursday, and while the weather was beautiful the winds were very light and we slowly sailed about 20 miles down Chesapeake Bay. The girls had a very enjoyable day, as did my son, and his old codger father. When people tell me to have a good day, I usually respond "They're all good - just some better than others." This video and the accompanying song I recorded a few days ago on the S-950 proves that I know a bit about having a good day.

Beautifully done Gary

Very nice. Lots of feeling. The best thing I've ever heard you do. The arrangement was tasteful and non-obtrusive and the vocals were perfect for this song. Very well done. Photography was great as well. Was it all taken with the GoPro? If so, what video editor did you use?

chas

Very beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Gary thank you for sharing your sailing experiences with us, keep enjoying life day by day!
You put a smile on my face this morning.

Gary. Go for...Great.

Thanks guys. Chas, the photos were shot with my cell phone while the videos were shot with the Go Pro and the editing was done with Windows Movie Maker. It's a easy program to use and has lots of features

The audio was a one shot recording on the S-950 with no editing.

All the best,

Gary

... nice, Gary ... great pics ...

Thanks Tony. I am doing a small edit to the video because I realized that I did not have a photo of my new daughter in law in the production. Not much of a change, but a necessary one.

Thanks again, everyone,

Gary

WOW and double WOW. Best Diamond production yet.
Eddie

Gary, nice performance.
and its so great to see you "Traveling Easy"

Thanks Eddie and OldNewb for the compliments. I guess even an old guy can learn a few things and have fun with today's technology. I am absolutely amazed at some of the phone apps and PC programs that are available today. To think, my first experience with a home computer was a Commodore 64 with a separate, 5-1/2-inch floppy disk drive and green screen monitor. Amazing!

Gary,


Wonderful stuff! Looks like it was a fun day!

Thanks Steve, talk to you soon.

That went like a manual on enjoying life.

124,

One of the things I decided when I left the field of medicine was to enjoy life to it's fullest. While in the field, I specialized in cardio/pulmonary medicine, which placed me in critical care situations on a daily basis. I quickly learned that life was very, very short, and that many of us never enjoy our lives with our immediate families and friends. Until 1075 I was a workaholic, busting my ass 7 days a week, often 18 to 20 hours a day, never seeing my wife and children more than 1 day a week, and completely neglecting those I loved most. In 1975 I walked away from the field of medicine, still worked my ass off, but made sure that I spent as much time as possible with my wife and children. In that light, I have been quite successful. We did lots of things together, fishing, boating, camping, traveling all over the US, and holding family reunions on a regular basis at our home. I sincerely believe that this is why both of my children have been very successful, self sufficient and constantly keep in contact with each other. Now that I am in the twilight of my years, and have very little time remaining, I know that when I pass, they will be just fine.

Thanks for watching the video and commenting,

Gary

Fantastic Gary

Great production Gary! Very nice!

May the "good winds" be forever in your chart's path. Enjoyed seeing the Chesapeake again. Send more when you can. Meanwhile, although we know you love it... don't overdo things.

Thanks Dave, I hope to get out on the bay in the next few days and with luck, I'll shoot some more vids.

Gary

👍

Very nicely done Gary.
