Lahaina Maui Lei Day

So Samantha was told that Lahaina was not worth the trip to visit while on the island of Maui. “Bah! Humbug” I scolded her, this is a historic whaling town from the 1800’s that was a major part of start of commerce in Hawaii and written about by James Michener in his novel Hawaii. As luck would have it, a retired ladys group was selling fresh picked lei’s that day for a charity. They meet 2 Thursdays a month, so just my luck getting off the hook and getting Sam a lei which she wanted. I had refused to get one from the hacks at the airport.

Aloha and Mahalo, Jimmy

Killer Sailing Twitter Meetup

Killer Tips for Winning Friends and Influencing People on Twitter from Chris Suspect on Vimeo.

This short documentary was put together by four people who met on Twitter and set up a sailing tweet up in the Chesapeake Bay. While you will learn how Twitter can bring people together for a great time, you’ll also learn some killer tips on how to use the site effectively. Each of us in the film have different motivations and strategies for the site, but in the end you’ll learn one trick that’s a surefire show stopper.

The concept for the film was created at breakfast before the sail. We shot it with one camera, each of us taking turns.

If you would like to follow us on Twitter we are @chris_suspect, @jonnygoldstein, @iconjohn and @scottstead.

Enjoy!

Sunrise Eagle Beach Aruba

It’s so nice to stroll Eagle Beach early in the morning before the sun gets blazing in Aruba and I met a really nice guy that meets up with a few friends everyday at sunrise to workout and to feed the birds. I had my Rode boom microphone which was great for the sound of the birds, conversation, and eliminating the sound of the wind. This is a quick peak at feeding the birds on the beach before the rumble of crowds, wind, and traffic pollute the tranquility of the morning.

Holland Brasil World Cup Oranjestad Aruba July 2, 2010

Aruba, with it’s strong Dutch ties for centuries is the third best place in the world to watch Holland play World Cup. Behind Holland and South Africa of course. Great party on the island with lots of Brasil fans too, and none of the fighting you see with a Mets Phillies or Eagles Giants game. Cheers, Jimmy CraicHead…

Mi Dushi Aruba Sail June 29 2010

With out a doubt, the Mi Dushi , an 80 foot 1925 Swedish ketch is my favorite thing to do in Aruba. I shot a video of Mi Dushi 2006 but this time I decided to give my Sanyo Xacti E1 a bit of a workout in the water. Many thanks again to Captain Jesus, Carlos and the rest of the crew for such a great day once again. <br>
