So on both of the shakedown cruises, I mounted the camera to one of the struts on the bimini and recorded some video to see how it looked. To keep the times reasonable, I sped up the videos, but you can still get an idea about our sailing experience.
The May 29 video, below, is just some sailing at 4x and then some of our motoring (& Vicky cleaning) at 10x.
May 29, 2015 Shakedown Cruise
The May 30 video, below, is mostly our pulling out from the mooring ball and then motoring back to the ball at the end of a cruise. The combination of the water movement and the high speed video makes it look like we're moving, but if you watch closely you'll see that we're just bobbing around the mooring ball until I throw it overboard at 0:45. The same apparent motion happens on the back end. The cut at 5:00 starts the final 20 ft of motoring back to the mooring and by 5:10 I'm heading up to pick up the ball... the rest is just putting Seas The Day away for the night.

Finally, one last video... this is a long timelapse of the storm that brewed up over Raritan Bay on Sunday night.
