Eight Days of Greasy Pole – Wrap Up
I hope everyone enjoyed these videos from this year’s Greasy Pole… I think we need a break after all that work. Let me put it this way: the original documentary was only 7 minutes. Eight Days of Greasy Pole clocked in at around 30 minutes… way more work than we anticipated, but it was a hell of a lot of fun.
One of the best parts of these videos was the music. Good music elevates a piece of video to a whole new level, so I’d like to take a moment to thank the excellent musicians that created original music for Eight Days of Greasy Pole:
Brian Wright – My good friend and composer. The man with the accordian. He composed music for videos 4 & 6, and wrote 3 of the musical themes in the original documentary.
Marlon Doucette – A songwriting and guitar virtuoso, my brother composed music for videos 1 & 3. He also accompanied my mother’s violin on video 8.
Patricia Doucette – My mom plays the violin beautifully and her carefree style embodies the Fiesta spirit. She can be heard on video 8, and plays 2 themes in the original documentary. Her infectious laugh can also be heard just before the start of the ending credits of the original documentary.
Leon Doucette – My brother is a talented visual artist and musician. He plays accompanying guitar on the theme song of the original documentary, and he has designed several graphics for us (including a sketch of the greasy pole that will be put on t-shirts in the near future).
Willie Alexander – A living legend, it seemed more than appropriate to use his song, “High Tide Heroes” (written by Willie & Billy Loosigian), on video 7. Thanks, Willie.

My Incredible Adventure- Using Dividers
How to use dividers
Using dividers and the latitude scale on your nautical chart, you are able to measure distance in nautical miles. (Remember, do not use longitudes to measure distance. Longitude lines converge at the poles and the distance between them changes relative to your position on the earth.)
One minute equals one nautical mile. Examine the scale of your chart. In these examples, our chart is in degrees and minutes.
Place one point of the dividers at position A and the other point at at position B. Then, maintaining the spread, measure the distance using the latitude scale. In this case, the distance is 15 minutes or 15 nautical miles. Always use the latitude scale located in the same horizontal region that you are measuring.
