This video is out take shots from a photo shoot for the Travel Channel series ‘Dreaming Big’: ‘Extreme Boats’. The video was shot with my camera from the vessel that burned in Galveston Bay.
This was a very exciting time and the Travel Channel is the BEST.
The boat featured in this video is a CZ7 Hull #1 (Civilian Zodiac 7 meter) made by Zodiac of North America. This vessel is WAY COOL.
The photo shoot was taken in Galveston Bay just off of Red Bluff Point near the ship channel leading into the Port of Houston.
I will add credits in part 2….stay tuned…….
Peace

Crews from Aids to Navigation Teams Galveston and Port O’Connor load temporary buoys onto a 55-foot Coast Guard boat at Sector Field Office Galveston before getting underway. More than ninety percent of the aids to navigation were either damaged, destroyed or moved out of position in the Gulf of Mexico and the Houston Ship Channel during Hurricane IKE. The Coast Guard is repairing and repositioning buoys to reopen the ports and Ship Channel as quickly as possible. (Coast Guard video by PA3 Rob Simpson)

A time lapse video made by setting a camera to take photos at six second intervals during a trip outbound on the Houston Ship Channel. I used Quicktime to emble over 2000 individual photos into a 3 minute movie representing an actual time of over 3 1/2 hours. The ship was only moving at 5-6 knots for the first half of the trip and up to 10 knots in the open areas away from the docks. The journey begins just below the Port of Houston turning basin at the end of the channel and continues down to Morgan’s Point at the head of Galveston Bay. We still had 32 miles to go to get out to the pilot station in the Gulf of Mexico at that point. The ship is a Panamax tanker 600 feet long by 106 feet wide.

normally the water is very rough but it is August and the conditions were right to haul the the jetties for some bull redfish. What a day. I need stronger fishing poles for sure.
