The Lunar Eclipse from Belize

On September 27th, I created a video of the lunar eclipse...some explanation needed. Unfortunately, the Blood Moon did not show up here, However, I did catch it to the total eclipse. There is considerable motion due to using a telephoto lens with the camera mounted on a tripod. The moon kept moving on me so I had to constantly reset the position. I took over 50 minutes of video and ended up with a four minute video set to Van Morrison's "Moondance." I hope you enjoy it! (I upload now to Dropbox.com)

"The Pirates of Frigate Caye!"

The local Weekend Wanderers - Belize FB group went sailing on a 40 foot Catamaran on 9/19/2015. Frigate Caye is a 1.4 acre island 8 miles off shore from Placencia, Belize. Nineteen of us motored out to the Caye ( pronounced "key") and spent the day snorkeling, swimming, sunbathing, eating, and just lounging around.  The "Pirates"  were all expats, save one.  Oh! One more thing...the Caye is for sale for $350,000!

Here is a composite video that should make you jealous that you are missing such amazing adventures!
