Hey Jim,
Great stuff! I loved the sound too. What camera were you using for this?

Bryce: Thanks ...but you probably don't want to know. I feel like I'm hanging around the Ferrari pits wearing a Yugo t-shirt ..given the heavy iron most of you carry.

It's a Flip Ultra .. typically selling for less than $150. The housing was like .. $40. This cam/housing combo was the good one. I've had two from them where the housing became a fish tank - and the cam does not like saltwater. Flip is either getting out of the housing biz - or went back to the drawing board - because they're unable to replace my last housing.

........'Zactly. Bunch of really nice folks. One, who's also a Mooney Pilot, recently place third in the US Nationals in Florida. That sport has gotten down to micrometer measurements. The boat has a computer to compensate for weight and balance ..and cruise control for the various specific speeds they ski at. A carbon fiber ski can be $800 easily. It's wild...
