Gloucester, Massachusetts Schooner Festival - Parade of Sail

We had a beautiful day for our 31st annual Schooner Festival.

Nice footage mate!!
How many batteries did you use?

Thanks!

7 batteries in about an hour and 45 minutes. I had two more, but the boats headed out to sea for a race.

9 batteries, lol nice
I have only three
Did you use your own pilot skills or use the new POI feature for orbiting?
I guess the first, so smooth

Excellent footage! You may want to reconsider using a different music track to give your video a more lush audio presentation... Current track doesn't do the video justice.

Except that this song was written about the very schooners that appear in the parade. And except that it was performed by Daisy Nell, who is chair of the Schooner Festival!

 

[voracious52]

Understood... Unfortunately those attributes don't help the audio ;p...

 

[InterMurph]

Maybe you would approve of last year's song? Filmed with a P2V+ on a less appealing day.

 

[voracious52]

Much nicer, Murph... Elevated the lesser quality video and made it an overall much more pleasant viewing experience. Got through the whole video without having to mute it Plus, it doesn't hurt using a Neil Young song to boot! Regards, Marty.

Agree, great video where the Neil Young song gave a pleaseant viewing experience.

Really nice. Music was not horrible certainly.

 

[InterMurph]

I like the song. But even if you don't, you would have a difficult time convincing me that it isn't the absolute perfect song for this video! The only thing missing was The Ernestina, a schooner currently undergoing an overhaul. Next year I can get them all timed perfectly!
