Post RideForCambodia...SEA ride continues

Haven't touched those boat pics yet, 'cept for the few Tag shots. I'll get some free time during the next trip (starting tomorrow), all those pics will be with on the lil' Acer.
 
Danny and George: Great you both came home safe, along with Raven and Joe as well, thanks you all for sharing this amazing trip. :hat3::hat3:

Throw them up on Google+ and/or Picasa raw. I'll explain them as I remember them. Maybe I can grab and post them if they're "Public".
 
In this GoPro video, our ragged crew are in Bamnak trying to orient ourselves after a three hour platform train ride from Pursat, Cambodia. There are no paved roads near this town and Raven is trying to get us a route to the Aural Falls through all new territory. She is working with her Galaxy S III Android. Would have been nice if I or any of us thought of getting the dismount footage, but I guess we were pretty beat up and just wanted to get everything off the rickety car.
Some of the best videos are missed because our attention is on the situation at hand instead of the camera. I hope to be aware of that fact in the future.

Thanks again to Smash for the use of his GoPro unit for this trip.

Ya, George made sure we ate good! :)
 
These guys declare "It's Leo time"

They also went around this deserted beach picking up several garbage bags of trash that washed up. Kudos to you guys for your environmental preservation efforts.

A mutiny beaten back with a hug. I won't post the ones I am sure will be deleted by the mods. Actually, I'm not even sure if this one will survive. :)

Me and Joe take a swim to inspect a faulty depth sensor. I sure enjoyed just swimming around and under this cat. I was pretty much wet for the week and in that swim suit the whole time, when in anything , that is. ;)

George Catt tries his hand at handling a cat. He makes it look easy but we were going in circles. ;) LOL Just kidding

The small tidal creek where I almost got us stranded for a low tide cycle as the water left us while trying to dislodge our craft from the muddy bottom. We got her out with some quick thinking, a bit of sweat and the block and tackle from the main sail to pulley ourselves out of the mud. Oh, the excitement!

I take full responsibility!

I lead the feisty little craft out to deeper water after we ungrounded ourselves.
While the water was receding from around our grounded vessel, I secured a pulley line to a mangrove stand across the creek with the kayak as Joe and George set the pulley and worked us into water just a few inches deeper where we were again afloat.
These are the GoPro moments we missed because we were busy. Pretty sure it would get deleted anyway due to the audio part. ;)

Some folks who got the idea that the movie "The Beach" was real, so they continue the tradition of living life as a party

I'm posting the shortest videos first without going through the arduous editing process. I hope they are fun to watch.
 
That catamaran sail boat tour commanded quite a bit of video time so here is another that's ready for viewing without any edits or music.

I am trying to get the Windows Movie Maker in my tool bag to be able to get the fat out and add the music that will bring the experience up closer to what we felt while sailing these spectacular waters of Phuket, Thailand.


Again, Thank you Smash for the use of the GoPro. I need you to PM me your address so I can send it back to you.
 
These short videos are few compared to the many that'll need editing.
Here is a moment where nothing much is happening yet it is all happening in the moment.
We are crossing open water from one island to another in Phuket under full blown sail and wind power.

Thanks Smash for the GoPro loan
 
We stopped at many of the spectacular islands in Phuket while on the catamaran.
Here is another clip I thought warranted a post without any edits.

I am trying to indicate the height of these vertical cliffs which might have been 2 to 3 hundred meters. I also am pointing to our little sail boat in the bay.
