Rowing the Atlantic - the Film.

I'm procrastinating - but it has to be said, my procrastination is beneficial. Whilst it isn't exactly a quiet morning with a cup of coffee outside of a tiki hut by the sea (as this is the mental image of an ideal wake-up really) it is a relatively calm and collected one. Ideal for looking over some random fluff, browse through some rowing stuff and plot some film ideas.

Admittedly the film ideas stem from brief conversations last night about DaNnY's music video; and then wandering over to an old friend's myspace page. Vaitea has been part of the hip-hop scene for ages and she's always struck me as someone interesting to film - not to mention she's in Italy and my itchy feet have been itchier than ever these few months (years).

Then of course, there was the discovery of Roz Savage's Atlantic Row film, which is available on digital download at Journey Films. She's just been nominated for National Geographic's Adventurer of the Year. NG's website also has a link for gear of the year, which includes.... the Vibrams. And the rather cool looking Helmetcam. The showcase videos on the website look rather spiffy it has to be said, and could be worth a purchase methinks.
