This is a video created to show one of the many events that HFI Local 16 participates in throughout the year. This video is the whale boat races at the annual Vallejo Waterfront Weekend 2022 event down across from Mare Island in the channel. Local 16 has put 1 -2 teams in for the last 10 years. I was a former member of the Bangin' Oars team for 5 years straight before the Pandemic lockdowns in 2020. Since I couldn't participate this year I decided to use my skills as a drone pilot and my audio skills as a podcaster together to try and capture what we do.
