I was watching a YouTube live feed from Starbase, TX the other day and someone in comments mentioned that he we was splitting his time between that feed and a live feed from San Diego where the USS Zumwalt was underway.
I poked around a bit and found THIS, which is a live feed of San Diego harbor which bounces around from several vantage points. It also has an audio feed of VHF Channel 16 but they also insert some appropriate theme music. Yesterday when the Dole container ship got underway we got “DAY-O, Daylight Come and I Wanna Go Home”; today I tuned in as the Holland American Zuiderdam and the Disney Wonder got underway they played the theme from The Love Boat.
My TV can also display YouTube.com so the picture below is what I leave on in the evenings.
I figured out how to capture some pictures and video today (using the Windows-G keys to go into Game Capture Mode). Here are a couple of each below.
And finally, they focused on the sunset, from Cabrillo Monument on the end of Point Loma.
Here you can see the bottom of the sun’s disk it looks compressed. This is probably due to Fata Morgana, a thermal effect since I believe the nearest land to the southwest of San Diego is Hawaii.
It’s only a minute later and they conveniently zoomed in.
If you are still hoping for an island, watch the final clip. I was hoping for a green flash, but I didn’t see it. but you will notice the horizon reappears after the disk goes down.
A late-breaking addition. I finally figured out how to edit the video to trim down to the maximum size (512 MB) and relearned how to embed it.
