The folks that “serve” our videos to the Internet have upgraded their system and we can now provide much higher definition images to you. We have to redo the output of our video editing software, so the process will take a while. The FPB 83 Wind Horse introduction is the first.
Updated Feb 9, 2018:
You can now simply view the video below, and see all our hi-def videos on our YouTube channel.

Hi Steve
I mainly use Firefox as a browser and it didn’t appear to be loading the video
Tried Internet Explorer which said it was loading the video for ages and ages and I gave up
I then tried Chrome which I have but never use and it worked immediately… I am now inclined to try Chrome some more
Of course, this could all be the quirks of my computer… aaaaggghh

Thanks for the feedback Warren:
That Intro video is about 800mb, so there is a lot of information to download. I will give Chrome a try myself.

Hi Steve,
I use Firefox, and it loaded immediately and played just fine. Great video, I am very jealous.
I am looking forward to many more.

Steve,
Works great, and looks even better!
I’m using firefox too, and had no issues.
At home, using a DSL connection, it came through plenty fast – even all the way to AUS.
With a good connection, it buffers about 5 seconds worth of video and then starts playing. Download speed easily outpaced the play rate.
Cheers,
Anthony

Steve,
Video loaded quickly in Explorer using Comcast Cable modem here in Fort Lauderdale.
Quality was excellent and content inspiring.
I see Windhorse at mooring on a daily basis and she is looking great.
Best,
Phil.

Hi Steve,
Your intro on Windhorse opened up right away with my Firefox browser. Beautiful video, photos and composition.
You and Linda have an eye for capturing the absolute essence in each shot.
I’ve been following your adventures for several years now and living vicariously through your travels.
I hope you will continue to explore more of this beautiful world and look forward to being able to share it with you.
I live in Vancouver, B.C. and have explored most of the south and central coast of BC in my boat.
Wishing both of you continued good health, happiness and safe cruising.
