Cruisecritics meeting Azamara Journey July 31, 2008
Just an informal meeting of a bunch of cruising fanatics called cruise critics; we met in the library on the 2nd day of the cruise. My apologies to those that I missed filming!
On the Azamara Journey leaving out of Copenhagen, Denmark on July 31, 2008. (Langelinie pier.) If you ever get to cruise out of this port, make sure you go a day early so you can see the city! It's beautiful, but since I missed my connecting flight in Paris & got there late, my friend, Diane, and I only got to see what was between the airport & the pier on our mad dash to make the ship!
Aboard Azamara Journey we went to Falmouth Cornwall England. It rained the entire day which cancelled the boat show they had scheduled in town, but we still enjoyed watching the harbor.
This was in Dublin, Ireland, where we got off the ship to eat at a pub and walk around briefly, catching this street performer.
A very quick trip to Belfast, Ireland; didn't turn out the way we had hoped.
Last year, (before I got the XLH1), I got this with my daughter's handicam. So I used "Color" to make it look like really old bad film instead of just bad film. LOL

Rough time getting out of Amsterdam!
After heading down several miles of canal with the wind picking up, it was so bad by the time we reached the lock, we had to have a tug help us out. The captain said it was the toughest thing he's had to do to this point!
While in Oban, it was raining quite a bit, so we didn't get off the ship. But we did have a very nice view of the port & town. Unfortunately for one of the guests on our ship, she fell off the pier onto the rocks at low tide and was taken away in an ambulance. I believe she met up with the ship a few ports later.

Jackie and Jake and the Day at the Lake
I did this when I first got my XLH1, before I had any presets or knew how to use any other features. I was also new to Final Cut Pro, but we had fun making it.
I was up and on the balcony at 5 am looking for the monument to the Covenanters who died when the ship they were on, the Crown of London, sank. My 8th Great-Grandfather was one of the few survivors. I did get it, but didn't realize it until I got home and was editing the footage!
