Normally if the weather is reckoned to be a bit of a problem we come over just to lend a hand if needed.

Possibility of a bit of a breeze a bit later this morning.:rolleyes:

 

We just came in, had a brief break and are now ready to go.

And we're off ....

We headed out to the north end and came around on the west side. Nothing much , pretty much the same as here.

That's Edison Pebbly Beach just off the the left. But coming up to Abalone Point, it might be a bit dicey :(

Yep, I guess that's why we're here. We've checked and there don't seem to be any folks on board any of the smaller boats, which I suspect might be a good thing.

Abalone Point just ahead , actually doesn't look that bad

Well define bad I guess , but we've seen worse, much worse.

That's the Casino Ballroom up ahead. It's a historic cinema and art venue.  And Lovers cove off to the left. Not showing a lot of love right now though 

 But we're not here to be tourists.  The big ships & larger boats  will be fine. Its the little ones we worry about

 

Now this isn't looking good at all. Thankfully everyone's off. We'll just stick around here a bit ....

This is when you want a very steady, calm hand on the controls. And our pilot ... well she's one of the best.

Well we survived that one, but this one looks like it might be more trouble.  Makes you wonder where they all come from. But they don't last , a few hours from 

now you'll never know there was a problem.

Not good , not good at all folks.  :(

Time passes and we're back on station.  Hard to believe what happened earlier 

Life is back to normal.  Must be the magic of simulation .... I think there was a "nice ending" button turned on  . It's the big red one down at the bottom. 

It's pushed in.  Good job  too !

 

And from all of us to all of you ,  Cheers !! , we're back to LA. and may we all get the chance to fly another day:D

Boy that rotor of yours really turns up the seas Pete .........B):o:P:lol:

Thanks John

The instruction book says to run it on full "Churn" so that's what I do

According to the wife, it's the only time I've ever listened to advice in my life :rolleyes::unsure:

Cheers!

redefines wake turbulance, love the harbour shots and Pebbly beach getting some love, thanks Pete

 

Thanks 

The harbour is really well done Ken, really well done indeed 

You guys exceed expectations and then crank it up a notch or two !

And Pebbly beach - I like it. 

We were there many, many years ago and I wondered about the name , until I saw it. :lol:

You captured it perfectly

Cheers:)

That is some exciting looking water - wonder if anyone spilled their beverage in the 'yachit'.  Time for "scrub down fore and aft".  After the great 'Papua NG', Ken Hall's 'Hallmark' is very obvious.

They weren't enjoying a wee dram of HP. If they were,  and if it were me I would have followed it over the side B)

Super shots of the island and I enjoyed the narration.

Thanks John

It just seemed a story line should go with it 

I'm really pleased that you enjoyed it!

See you

Pete

Those are some serious waves.

An excellent set with a great narration.

Thanks Martyn

Very easy to set up in MS2020 

Stills , don't capture the moment though ... live action is quite spectacular

I find it hard to believe its a simulation 

Cheers:)

Is it normal to get seasick from looking at pictures? :wacko:  Avalon is going to be under water after Tim & Ken's hard work for Pete's sake :D

:D

 

Screenshots don't do it justice.  You sit there in a hover and just watch the roll of the waves and you know what's going to happen.

It's both fascinating, majestic and downright scary all at the same time. :)

Cheers

Pete
