Uh yeah...I was bored. went out singlehanded with forecast of 15-25 with gusts to 30 possible. I rigged conservatively so if it materialized I could handle it. Got up to maybe 15 for an hour or two, then slowly kept backing off. So, here I am on a long reach back home, under-canvassed but too lazy to go forward and put up a genny. I decided as long as I was making 4 knots to go with it. Dug out the autopilot and the camera of 'Jo's that I broke at the Cruiser's Challenge (no operating viewfinder) found some sticky back velcro, thought about the cool Dana 24 kite video, and viola Pole Cam. I think I have seen this done by Todd Mills before too. So here it is. You can have a good 30 second laugh at a dork with too much time on his hands. I present POLECAM....... _http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=20s7rz4&s=4_ (http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=20s7rz4&s=4) I am in no way responsible for you utter disappointment after watching this video....view at your own risk....then think about the fact that you really should turn the computer off and go do something productive!!! hahaha
