Kids of all ages love a paddle.  Even Mrs.B  insists on it whenever we're by the sea - even one time in the Baltic!
Your own soundtrack too?
Nice work. And explain underslung mode?

Montfrooij Posted at 6-18 00:57
Yeah, it's something magical somehow.
Underslung mode is when you have the Pocket upside down.
You have to power on while in that position and it will recognize the orientation and keep it 'right side up'.

Blériot53 Posted at 6-18 03:01
That may come in handy at some point

DowntownRDB Posted at 6-18 03:02
Looks like you had some great weather for a family fund day at the beach.  I think using the inverted mode worked out quite well Peter.  Really nice job on this video.

Depp Posted at 6-18 03:02
The sea - always great, especially in good weather.  Next time: timelapse of the ice cream melting ;-)

Montfrooij Posted at 6-18 03:04
The only downside is that you can't see the screen. So you have to aim by feeling.

Blériot53 Posted at 6-18 03:09
Or use the mimo app on the phone

Montfrooij Posted at 6-18 03:14
I never found a good way to use that that suits my Pocket 2 'needs'.
If you add the phone, the P2 has changed from 'pocket' to  'big and clumsy'.
You need to attach it, losing the quick reaction time of a P2 'on its own'.

Montfrooij Posted at 6-18 03:05
Thanks a lot.
Yeah, we were luckly .The morning was wet wet wet, but right when we arrived, the sun started to win that battle.

DowntownRDB Posted at 6-18 03:52
You're welcome Peter.  I'm glad to hear the sun won out.

Blériot53 Posted at 6-18 03:28
You can connect wirelessly with the Mimo App, rather than physically, you know.

Montfrooij Posted at 6-18 05:00
Yeah I know if you have the DOIAH attached.
But still, the points mentioned remain.

Blériot53 Posted at 6-18 05:36
That's true enough.

Montfrooij Posted at 6-18 06:10
And TBH, I never have the DIAH attached. Too bulky.

Montfrooij Posted at 6-18 04:59
Yeah me too  
Today it's back to wet wet wet.

Blériot53 Posted at 6-18 06:36
Oh. I have it connected all the time. I get a firmer grip on it that way.

DowntownRDB Posted at 6-18 06:42
Don't feel bad as it is the same here.  I've got my eye on a couple of tropical depressions.  One is southwest of the Bahama Islands and the other is in the southwestern part of the Gulf of Mexico.  I'm just hoping neither turn into a tropical storm and then develop into a hurricane.  We are already in the first month of the hurricane season so anything is possible.

Montfrooij Posted at 6-18 07:01
I read something about a heat dome developing in the USA.

DowntownRDB Posted at 6-18 07:08
From the national weather service website:

A heat wave in the western United States that started last week has been made even hotter by a “heat dome” sitting over the region. This phenomenon occurs when a high-pressure system stays in the same place for days or weeks, trapping hot air beneath it, like a lid on a pot.

Montfrooij Posted at 6-18 08:44
Yeah, I read that too.
Going to be warm.

DowntownRDB Posted at 6-18 09:00
The power companies will be working overtime to keep the generators pumping out electricity to keep up with all the A/Cs running full blast.  No doubt a few brownouts will occur.  I'm glad I've got two onboard generators and one portable one I use in my combined storage room/garage.

Montfrooij Posted at 6-17 22:45
@DAFlys a lot of the beach shots were shot in 'underslung' mode
Came out great if you ask me.

DAFlys Posted at 6-18 23:24
Yes. they look great and a technique I need to try myself,  but I have a bone to pick,   where's our ice creams?    You seem to have forgotten about us.

Montfrooij Posted at 6-19 00:48
Hahahahahahahahaha.
If you ever visit Callantsoog, this is (so the rewards say) the best ice cream in NL.

DAFlys Posted at 6-19 00:56
Oh boy,   I googled that,  and let's just say if I go you wont find me between poles 14,25 and 16,8.

Montfrooij Posted at 6-18 09:50
Yeah, being self sufficient gets a whole new meaning then.

Montfrooij Posted at 6-19 02:11
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

DAFlys Posted at 6-19 03:36
It's funny what google drags up first.  .

DowntownRDB Posted at 6-19 03:30
It certainly does.  During the last power outage I put my drone up in the sky and it was dark as far as the camera could see, except for the lights on my boat.  It is always nice to not have to worry about losing power and items in refrigerator or freezer going bad.

Montfrooij Posted at 6-19 04:27
I never googled it.
But neither did I know about it.
And we have been there multiple times.

Montfrooij Posted at 6-19 04:28
Yeah indeed.
That can be a big advantage!
Too bad our homes are not designed like this.

DowntownRDB Posted at 6-19 06:23
My youngest daughter was thinking about installing a whole home generator for her house.  Full installation price was $8K.  However, her HOA/CDD would not approve the request.  Just another reason why I wouldn't live in a development that has a HOA/CDD.  You own the land and the house but they can tell you what to do with it.  Keep your grass under 3" tall.  Cars can't be parked on the street.  Cars in drive way can't block sidewalk.  Only 4 exterior colors authorized.  Fences can only be so tall, etc., etc.

DAFlys Posted at 6-19 06:03
But you guessed what I was referring to.

Montfrooij Posted at 6-19 06:42
Yeah, glad I don't have that.

DowntownRDB Posted at 6-19 07:00
One of the many reasons why I bought all the land I did.  I don't have an HOA/CDD telling me what I can and can do with my own land.
