See other QT Video of Abstrait off Wrightsville - Audrey at helmDecember 3, 2005 - Audrey and I went for a daysail off Wrightsville Beach, NC in relatively light winds and seas.  Wind was probably in the 8-10knt range give or take.  The temps were around the upper 50s but it was nice enough to head out.  Andy Weaver had his digital camera and took about 30 seconds of movie in fairly low rez, this from his C&C 30.  Audrey had dipped down below to get replenish the beers and get a hat.  The video is a bit disappointing and the conditions far from ideal but it was a day out on the water.   Nice to have some sound of the wind along.   This was surely not particular fast, however.  The thing that made THIS day but not pictures was the sighting of what we now think was a Right Whale over 45 ft long based on the fluke size.  The wind had totally backed off and the whale actually surfaced a boat length or so behind is.  It was an amazing sight and one none of us will forget.  There are only 350 or so of these great creatures left.  It surfaced a quite a few times and finally disappeared with one last dive, the full tail far up in the air, only to submerge without a trace..  We hope to get some better movies in the coming weeks.
