    Don't know what's happening with Vimeo. Tried to upload last night....20 kb/s. That would be like a four hour upload so I cancelled it and tried at dawn this morning. Same deal. Tried this afternoon....same again. You tube uploaded it in 20 minutes this morning. You would think when you pay for a service, it would be faster than a free one. Evidently not... :dontknow:

    Edit: so this afternoon I let it upload for about 2 hours....it gets to 38% and brings up the dreaded 'sorry, there was an error at our end' message. Which happens often to me with Vimeo and almost never with youtube. Cheezed off. Edit: been browsing the forums on Vimeo....lots of people cheezed off!!!

    Wooo hoo. Love the video John. Was laughing out load when I saw the speed up version of the NASA flying, hey was that the 10m^2?

    Good to see the lads making the most of sunshine and good winds.

    Just the 5.5m, Norm. Stupid me packed all my smaller kites. Got down to Waratah Bay and had 8 knots. Was 5-6 knots by the time I made the surf life saving club so I hurried back to the car for the 7 & 10m. Which was also the time my camera battery ran out. Poo.

    Just seen the vimeo offering......
    I'm jealous, you get sunshine and onshore winds and I got rain and wind down along the beach, basically useless.
    Next time perhaps, although after recent experience I'm writing it off until cup weekend.
