12/16/2006- OceanPlanet videos, and Xmas/NY list…
Get some popcorn!
What, you missed my last show at the Chesapeake Sailing Club?!
If you haven't been to one of my Vendee Globe presentations (or even if you have), you might like to see some of the videos used in the show. The highlight is a 4min shortened version of "Visionmill" filmmaker Rob Draper's fantastic Vendee Globe promo that is available by DVD. Here is the link to the short version: Vendee Globe 04/05 Check it out!
If you would like to order Rob's full DVD, drop me a note at bruce@bruceschwab.com.
To see some more OceanPlanet videos, here is the page on youtube: Bruce's videos
I'll be adding more now and then.
Holidaze dreaming:
Everyone has their Xmas and NY's wish lists...here are mine, in no particular order...;-)
1) A Title Sponsor for a full-on two-boat IMOCA racing program...to charter a top existing boat for the 2007 Barcelona World Race while we build two new boats to race in the 2008 Transat and the 08/09 Vendee Globe. Along the way we utilize OceanPlanet for education, training, and hospitality platform for our Sponsor.
2) In the meantime, we find an education or Foundation partner to help us repair/maintain OP this winter in return for the use of the boat next spring/summer. We REALLY need partners to help!
3) Barring that, another sailor buys or charters OP for next year's IMOCA races?
4) Some of the great products and inventions that I'm consulting on in Maine get rolling...sorry, can't tell you what they are yet...
5) I get this book for Christmas...
6) World peace, end of hunger and racism, advent of human powered flight. I win the Tour de France, play guitar at Carnegie Hall, and live happily ever after with a gourmet chef.
That's about it...;-)
Happy Holidays!
