I can't decide if I like this video or not. Sunday the NOODS were canceled so I threw on my Atlantis gear, grabbed a GoPro and walked down to the water to see what hurricane Irene was up to. At one point while I was filming waves were breaking over the seawall and my head. Unfortunately, my iPhone didn't like the fact I did not zip up my jacket pocket. My iPhone sat in a bowl of rice for two days but could not be saved.

Just wanted to let you know there are a few new videos on my You Tube Channel. Let me know if you would like information about sponsoring future videos. My videos are getting very good view numbers and they go viral very quickly via my own social media channels (20,000 plus followers) and many large well known blogs. In a few weeks I may be producing some pretty cool daily videos from England of a very well known sailing event with lots of media exposure. Some sponsorships may be available for these videos. Contact me for more info. Feel free to subscribe to my You Tube Channel so you'll get updates when I upload new videos.

Took a little ride on The Cone of Silence tonight for the Constitution Yacht Club Wednesday night series in Boston Harbor. Great night. Nice breeze. It's good that we had 9 1/2 on board to flatten her out a bit. GTC! Video by Leighton O'Connor: http://www.leightonoconnor.com Music by Autumn Above: http://www.autumnabove.com

A couple of weeks ago I was doing race committee for the Boston Yacht Club on the Half Way Rock line for the Marblehead NOOD Regattas. I brought my camera along and took a few images. In this video are images of the Rhodes 19, Town Class and Alerion Express fleets. The Rhodes are in the first part of the video...so be patient. There are more images on my website and they can be viewed at: http://www.leightonphoto.com/Sailing-Regattas/2011-Marblehead-NOOD
