Well, not a stellar swimming season this year, but the few times we got in was well worth it. Bring on summer 2009.

Enjoying a beautiful day with the soundtrack supplied by Podsafe Music Network & Luman: Bloody Good Day

Been very busy with life.
One take, no editing.

The new solar cover is working… GREAT!

With my newly completed HV20 underwater housing, it’s time to enjoy the water.

So I thought I’d like to build an underwater housing for my Canon HV20 Camcorder. The video shows the parts I’ve used plus the testing process. But, I don’t think I mention it anywhere, but it is 4″ PVC piping.
There is the black ABS (instead of white PVC) pipe which is a little bigger, yet all the same parts exist as the PVC.

I took the camcorder into the Home Depot to check for fit. Once I told the sales people what I was doing… add a short period of time for them to compute the idea of this guy putting his camcorder in the pool, and they were quite willing to use their Plumbing Powers to serve the vlogging community and aid me in getting the right parts for the job.

Let me figure it out…
$10 - 10′ 4″ PVC Pipe (9′ remaining)
$ 3  - 4″ PVC End Cap
$ 5  - 4″ PVC Threaded End (2 pieces)
$ 5  - Strong Aquarium Sealant
$ 1  - Glass from picture frame

Get you trunks on and enjoy a couple minutes with Mike in the pool.

A collection of video clips from this past weekend.

Had our first opportunity for swimming and we jumped for it.
