Thats the way to do it

CTC08 DVD,what a treat.

In a word - Fabulous!

Those wide angle shots giving a flavour of the race were just brilliant, especially the run down the solent.OK the weather and viz were just right for it.

A lesson in how to film a race.All we need for 2009 is a good old force 5 and some nice slow-mo film crossing Lyme Bay,assuming elfin safety have got the bottle to let in run as Sir Max intended.

Praise the Pilot really, after 10 days round britain he has an eye for the great shots. If only we could get enough fuel on board to "do" the Lyme Bay crossing, will have to work on a plan for 2009.

Well done Mike for putting proper offshore racing back on the map! The enthusiasm all round is amazing and I am really glad that the BPRC have got behind you to build on the incredible effort you have made. I think the films have really helped generate interest.

One episode would be of particular interest to Pash, Keith had to fly over Double 2 Shirts to get the next clue!

You can also see Keith every night before the BBC 10 o' clock news flying his black helicopter G-telly.

I just watched it last night and it is really good, the sunlight and the reflections of the sea, the sweeping shoots from the helicopter, it looks really monumental and epic. Well worth having!

I received mine last week!

The filming is very good, but a little shorter than expected. It must of been produced for a wide screen as viewing on my TV the Buzzi boats are short and fat.

You can change the "aspect" on your controller so that the Buzzi boats are long and thin!!

Sorry about this Carl, the Post Office has either lost or "borrowed" several DVD's resulting in you guys getting annoyed and us having to send out replacements and to ensure that they get there also having to get them registered resulting in a considerable loss of revenue to my pension!
