The video is short . Lake Minnehaha Clermont Florida.

The children in the video are wearing V rated floatation devices and are no longer allowed to sit at Bow (because they went on there knees while taping) That being said enjoy the short clip.

Thanks for the video...Nice to recognize all those safety things that can trip up any one of us. Looks like a nice Model F. What was your approach to shining the boat...it looks super.
