Whitetail Deer Videos



Making videos about sailing and putting them on the web has been one of my dreams for a long time. With Alison's help, we are having success. This collection includes videos from back when we first started filming, and there are several variation on the format as we tried different things to get qood quality. Some are .mov files and require you to have Quicktime 7 installed, some are Flash and require you to have the latest Flash plugin (and you may have to click twice to start them), later videos are .wmv and use Windows Media Player for best results. Older videos are 320X240, but since we bought the new camera we can put 640X480 videos online that look very good, like the Sailing Medina Lake page. We look forward to doing more high quality videos, and keeping the smaller versions for dialup users.

If you have been injured on a sailboat, make sure you speak a Texas personal injury attorney who can assist you. Contact Stephens Law for immediate assistance.

There are a few videos from sailboat races, also on the Texas Regattas page, 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.

Alison and I both enjoy many other things, so we have several videos unrelated to sailing lower down the page.
