With all the grand hubbub about Jessica Watson sailing around the world, I thought I’d drop in a little sailing timelapse piece I put together last week. Shot at Albert Park lake, featuring a group of juniors sailing boats appropriately called Optimists. Nothing fancy just a little fun!! And congratulations to Jessica Watson, an amazing feat of adventure and attitude! http://www.jessicawatson.com.au/

Also worth a mention when we talk about adventures and adventurers is Beau Miles who in 2007, attempted to paddle a kayak from one side of Africa to the other. Hand in hand as filmmaking and expedition project, a state-of-the-art, HD camera was mounted to the bow of his 15 foot kayak. The journey would follow the coastline for over 4000 kilometers, through 3 diverse, often volatile countries. Mostly solo and unsupported, Beau had allowed five months. That was the plan. The documentary of this epic trip, AFRICA BY KAYAK was screened on Saturday night in Melbourne and is a great story. If you’re in Sydney or Brisbane, the screening is heading your way as part of the East Coast Tour so check out Beau and the dates at his website – http://www.beaumilesfilm.com
