Summer of Boating 2011/12

Recommended Posts

So Ari Gold (Spargo), Geep (Chris), and I had one hell of a summer on the water....

We took a fair few pics and quite a bit of video footage and then spotted a video competition on Marine Deals website.

We compressed the footage down to the 3 minute limit and the vid went up 2 days ago. We have until midnight tonight to get votes in.

Go to www.facebook.com/marinedeals and scroll down to Chris Grainger's post about Summer of Boating 2011-2012 and like the post to vote.

We're currently in the lead, but need to keep the votes coming to win.

Besides, the video is pretty boss.

Check it

if you just want to watch it again...

Soundtrack is Metronomy - The Bay

Cheers all.

P.S If you're interested this is what the footage shows:

Fishing charter on the Hauraki Gulf

3-day Coastal voyage between xmas and NY on my family's launch from the Bay of Islands to Warkworth via Tutukaka, Hen and Chicks, and Kawau.

New Years Day speed boating at Matarangi where we found another ski boat to race at over 100km/h.

Other various Hauraki Gulf fishing excursions

Bay of Islands Sailing week and island beach party

Paihia bach party and speed boating

Paihia cruise ships (5 in 4 days)

What we missed because the footage is still on other devices (not to mention we already cut a lot to fit in 3 mins):

Racing (and passing) the Mac Attack at around 100km/h in the Bay of Islands.

A couple of days at Islington Bay Hauraki Gulf

Champagne afloat at Garden Cove, Waiheke.

75mph on Kai Iwi Lakes

Footage of the family launch underway as committee boat at BOI sailing week.

Some teasers of other fun in case you're still trying to decide whether to view the link, or whether we had enough fun to win prizes...
