For a review that explains how the Velodyne Martinin 1.5 works: http://features.boats.com/boat-content/2013/03/the-velodyne-martini-1-5-active-suspension-on-a-boat/ For more videos from the Miami Boat Show, visit www.boats.com. The Velodyne Martini 1.5 was the wackiest, and most technically impressive, thing I saw at this year's Miami International Boat Show. In a nutshell, the Martini 1.5—so-named because it will keep your drink from sloshing—is a pontoon boat with active suspension. The system is the creation of Velodyne founder David Hall and a team of very enthusiastic engineers, some of whom were at Miami and gave me a demo ride on the boat. Hall and the Velodyne name may be familiar to audiophiles, as he got his start in 1983 with a patented, accelerometer-based High Gain Servo System to control sub-woofer cone movement. The company, which is based on the fringe of Silicon Valley near Morgan Hill, California, is still in the speaker business and has also developed the Velodyne LiDAR system used for 3D mapping. At Miami, one of the engineers explained that the Martini 1.5 is based on the same premise as their original speaker, "but instead of measuring and reacting to the movement of the speaker cone, we are reacting to the movement of the boat deck to cancel out the action of the waves."

Christmas in Grapevine Texas feels like stepping into a holiday movie. We explore historic Main Street during the Christmas festival, visit landmarks from the 1800s, then head to Scott’s Landing Marina for a Bad Santa Boathouse pop-up dinner. The night ends recording our Christmas podcast inside glowing snow globes on the dock. History, lights, sailing, food, and Christmas magic—Texas style. #GrapevineTexas #TexasChristmas #ChristmasFestival #SailingIntoNirvana #ScottLandingMarina #holidaytravel @SailingIntoNirvana Website: http://sailingintonirvana.com Social: http://facebook.com/@sailingintonirvana Patreon: http://patreon.com/sailingintonirvana Fire Dragon Spices: http://piraterodneys.com _________________________________________________________ 🎵 Copyrighted music licensed from Lickd. https://lickd.co Christmas Journey (Instrumental) by Ben Parry, Garth Bardsley, https://t.lickd.co/l/VxK0Dnn9K9v Holiday Mood (Instrumental) by Ben Parry, Garth Bardsley, https://t.lickd.co/l/zovBP27jgV7 Rockin' Wizards by Christopher Ashmore, https://t.lickd.co/l/zo0Y7wJzbn6 Christmas on East Street by Terry Devine-King, Bob Bradley, https://t.lickd.co/l/72BN9P4ejrk Feel The Love (Instrumental) by William Davies, https://t.lickd.co/l/qDpPnjYye6v
