Sailing Texas Videos

I do not see a delegation For the four-footed I see no seat for the eagles We forget and we consider Ourselves superior But we are after all A mere part of Creation And we must consider To understand where we are And we stand somewhere between The mountain and the ant Somewhere and only there As part and parcel Of the Creation —Chief Oren Lyons There are a few videos from sailboat races, but as I'm usually racing myself while taking these videos it's not the normal stuff you see on the net, more just bits and pieces of the regattas. The How to tack the Flying Scot page has 5 videos, it's the beginning of my putting my sailing class online, which should be about a 2 year project. Alison and I both enjoy wildlife, so we have several videos of birds and animals lower down the page.
