Post # 9: videos I never uploaded

This first video is the final video of Kevin's apartment (where I'm staying)...I uploaded the first two videos the other day.



Next up I was invited to go sail the Black Sea by my roommates' friend Ben. Ben has been living in Odessa for 2 years as an English teacher, and is originally from the UK. I think he served for their royal army. In the video I am untying the sails before we set off.




Here we have Ben trying to figure out the issue with the sails...see if you can spot the dummy tangled up in the lines and my roommate offering much help (narrating).



And finally the onset of a full blown panic attack. a) I'm not so good with heights; b) The only word I could muster was "hmmm". 4 minutes later, we were moving again...good thing I had wodka with me.



I have more stories and things to post but it's getting late here and I'm trying to plan my next leg of the trip. I think I've learned about as much as I can here in Odessa and it's about time I hit the road before I get too comfortable.
