Capt B:
I very much admire your dispatches, this one among the many: Those dispatches that are not beautifully written, are beautifully described with your videos. Thank you!
I’m intrigued by your video methods: what camera do you use, how do you secure it, what software is used to download and edit the video (including the legends and music you superimpose)?
I hope our wakes pass one of these days. I salute you, Sir !
Bernie
I’ll get back to you with the info, I’m glad you enjoyed the video.

Thanks for taking us along on another journey. I may make the transit through the canal one of these years when I take my boat south. Thanks for showing the way.
Been transitting the C&D since 1947. on Russell, Moran, Red Star and Mobil tugs and an American Export Line freighter in 1947. Only three bridges then. One a lift RR bridge. This was knocked into the Canal once. Remember when the Bushey tanker F.L. Hayes collided with a freighter, burned and sunk. Two on the Hayes were lost. Later she became Ecklof’s Reliable. Closed the canal for ten days. Other collisions closed the canal fo many days at a time. My last transit was on the Mobil 1, later the Zachary Reinauer.
Thank you Cap for this and many other great video tour-trips. Helps keep my “recency” fresh.
Thanks again. I look forward to seeing the Nicole on LIS this summer.
