Absolutely stunning and wonderful job capturing/editing the video. I hope to plan our first ever visit up there next summer. We're on M-Dock and would love to meet you all one of these days. Bright Side - 2023 Light Gray R27OB.
Wow! Beautiful video and we are torn between purchasing a sailboat or trawler/tug here in the Puget Sound area. Your Ranger is a dream! Thanks for sharing😊
Hello. We have been enjoying your videos while we patiently wait the arrival of our boat in a couple weeks!!! Can’t wait to get out and start exploring this gorgeous part of the country we live in. Your videos are very enjoyable. Would you mind sharing what cameras and video editing apps you use? We just want to document our trips! Thanks for making it look so easy!
Thank you for your kind words. I am using a GoPro 9 and 11 (last year 8 & 9). Handheld footage comes from my wife's iPhone 14Pro and I use an iPhone 13 mini. Editing is done in Final Cut Pro (FCPX). The maps are created in Apple Motion, ...a "companion product" to FCPX.
Tried to reply twice already and I don't see my replies. Let's see if you get three replies. :-). The R-29 really does have great visibility in all directions, including for backing into a slip. Fortunately, we have found some cheap and easy solutions to block out the sun when needed and thus have no regrets. Thanks for your comment.
@@jordanpawley2248 it gets very toasty. The boat does have great ventilation and we block the sun on those days with homemade Reflectix panels that are a) held up by the screens that come with the hatches or b) fit nicely into the framing of the skylights.
Excellent video - every one is so inspiring! Would love to see a video on our planning process and the program you use to print out the hard copies. Looking forward to your next trip.
Thank you very much. You may just get your wish in regards to a planning video. You are not the first to ask for that and the offseason is almost here. Spoiler alert, I use Apple product. For the planning charts I use Apple Keynote, which is similar to Microsoft PowerPoint. It took a bit of work to create the "objects" I am using, but it is all copy & paste now. For the maps, I like Savvy Navvy, a tool similar to Navionics. More to come in a video.
@@mvemerson That’s such GREAT news. I will look forward to it. Long time Apple user here and I know Keynote. Also user of Savvy Navvy. Thanks for the info.
@@craftyhodges it may not make a lot of sense without some explanation or video, but you are welcome to download the files from our website mvemerson.com. Somewhere in the “Hamburger menu” you can find a menu option for float plans. As you probably know, Keynote files are very large.
@@mvemerson Oh my gosh, thank you so much for your generosity!! I will definitely give it a look. We just bought a new Ranger 29 and have found all your videos so very helpful. We’re implementing almost every suggestion! Thx again. Joanne
