Thanks

After filming this I had to look them up on youtube. When these suckers launch they almost go underwater for a few seconds

Amazing what a tiny Mini can achieve! Awesome work


(Even more awesome is your video from the Skeena River!)

The mini is amazing. I have only had it for 2 weeks.
Thanks for checking out my other videos.

I'd like to see 'em do that in a big swell

Your other vid of the coal train on the Skeena River is also pretty cool. The highlight for me is when you’re “train chasing” at 58sec to 1min 7sec. ??

First of all, nice shootin' Tex! Really, good job. That's the "lifeboat" they use now on all these modern freighters. They had one like that in the movie Captain Phillips with Tom Hanks when he tried to escape the pirates. Man-oh-man that must be one hell of a ride from where it's secured until it hits the water. Secondly, those crew members climbed up that rope ladder and it looks like about a four story climb straight up!!! WOW. Thanks for sharing.

Seems like a lot of effort compared to how they launch and retrieve tenders on cruise ships.

Glad to hear. Which video were you talking about for the coal train? So I can rewatch.
