A Jekyll island tutorial

http://youtu.be/r0zmKyXnkVc

Above is the link from Robert bell. This gentleman happened to be on Jekyll during jibe and shot this video. But if you want to learn more about Jekyll or some of the really neat excursions on the island check out his youtube channel. There are maybe 10-12 videos on Jekyll island. All great to watch. Looking forward to seeing everyone there

The hidden forgotten ampitheater- If you have the room and like to ride- there are lots of great places to ride a bike on the island while waiting for Angus to turn on the seabreeze around 2

Did anyone ever see any footage from the guy that was following us around with camera mounted on the segway? I think it was going to be a promotional piece for Jekyll tourism at some point.

Thanks for reminding me; I'll ask. I'll be talking to the Island Authority this week.

There was also a drone duo that was filming a promotional video with a giant octocopter and a hugely expensive video rig (out near the restaurant). I know Van got *some* footage using his dronezilla, but maybe these guys got some footage, too? I have searched a few times with no luck.
