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…….
