Friday Flyover. "Mommy!" (Moving Pictures)

[hulu id=1cwcrfg7l54e6ydyqs8fbw width=488]

There are adrenaline junkies, and then, there are Adrenaline Junkies. These folks take that old biscuit, "Living Close To The Edge" to a whole new level.

"Overcoming fears, they step off into thin air and fly like birds, hurtling at impossible speeds and gliding across beautiful landscapes. A startling insight into the revolutionary sport that brings the dream of human flight alive."

Marine Life Monday. "A Wooden Whale?" Or "What David Put Together With Two Old Boats"

Wooden Whaler by David Kemp.
A fisherman friend helped me join these two derelict cove-boats together to make the WOODEN WHALER. Clinker boats and cove fishing are from a way of live that’s fast disappearing in Cornwall.

Looking at David's art concurs up memories of the wooden sculputers that populated the Emeryville mud flats of my childhood. It's great to see whimsy alive and well in the world, and an artist who shares his work with the public.

Fantastic ship handling skills by the crew of the Adamantios Korais (Αδαμάντιος Κοραής) with Captain Isidoros Ligno ( Ισίδωρο Λιγνό) on the bridge.

This is what it looks like under normal conditions.

Goldfinger!

If you're a Russian mogul trying to impress the wahines, then I have a boat for you; the Wally Tiketitoo.

Goldfinger, he's the man The man with the midas touch
A spider's touch
Such a cold finger

Beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don't go in

Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death from Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl, beware of his heart of gold
This heart is cold

Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death from Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl, beware of his heart of gold
This heart is cold

He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold

Strange times, strange world.
