Roll up! Roll up! for a Great Weekend (29 -30th Sep.)
Richard Boyd:
Hi Ron raining cats and dogs here as usual :!:
I meant to say try using deshaker on your videos, I have found it makes them look smooth.
Ron:
Hi Richard,
Sun's out here now, but wind is way too high, and from the NW, so no use to me.
Yes I do sometimes use the 'stabilisation' thingy, but just threw that lot together in a hurry.
As it was, it came from 1080 source files and took 3 hours to export at 720.
Have to get a newer, faster computer :oops:

hi ron,
congrat's on beating that aneurism, you're a walking miracle!!! some years ago i was told if you got one, you had a 50/50 chance of getting to hospital alive and then you had a 50/50 chance of surviving the surgery.
now, i'm not much into betting, but i thing those are pretty long odds, so well done and best of luck with the recovery.
regards, gb
Ron:
Thanks Gerry.
Yes they told me at the hospital that I was a very 'interesting case' because most people die before they get there :shock:
And I was lucky to be alive.
Actually I'm double lucky, because the first time the pain hit it was misdiagnosed as muscle spasm.
Understandable under the circumstances.
So under the influence of pain killers, a few days later, I went to the boatyard and out to my mooring, and was pulling on an outboard starting cord, when it hit me again.
Had to get ashore and home by myself, not knowing what it was.
This time the local hospital did a C/T scan and the consultant came rushing in shouting for an ambulance to Cork.
Anyway, thanks all for the good wishes.
Still waiting for a stent, assuming the chief surgeon thinks that's what's needed.
I reckon gaffer tape should do it :wink:
