Press also shift key on keyboard when selecting download link with (left) mouse button !
Tip: view clip in double size resolution should still be good enough.
 
Once again it was windy, but as we were to operate on river protected by thick growth of willow and alder  on both banks we started our trip with four persons on board. This river had some low height obstacles that we had to go under.
I had told our target to be "To move craft to boat ramp and lift it up for some modifications. And possibly if there's extra time maybe do some cruising also!"
My idea all the time was also to take my passengers to place where this first planned cruise would become memorable experience for all of us.
We proceeded in ahead of my intended schedule as going under obstacles went easier than i thought, barely slowing our average speed at all. So, we had some extra time before my father was to pick us up with trailer...
 
Clip #9 - Low obstacles Versions:
Approaching first obstacles in a series of several.
 
Clip #10 - Engine Versions:
My brother using the cam recorder shooting also the engine bay with not so nice rain hats on distributor and ignition coil. Engine cover is one of the modifications i'm going to do during next weeks.
 
Clip #11 - Exploring Versions:
"Going where no man has never gone before" anyway with motorboat that is...
Those lamprey traps really make a narrow river even more narrow and it happens to be the best time for catching lamprey.

Easier place to also train other direction...
 
Clip #13 - Trees #2 Versions:
River gets more narrow and tree branches are hanging low.
