More experiment with the kite and the GoPro camera in order to get some stable video. An improvement but not quite perfect. Tomorrow we will try again to improve the stability.  The GoPro UFO - all to try to get stable video :)  Blue Note sailing the Blue Atlantic Ocean on a reach  The kite operators  The tuna lure has been catching lots of Sargasso but no tuna yet.
