    Lost camera??

    I went on a cruise last month so I joined a cruise forum to get info. Today, I came across this pretty cool story about a guy who did some great detective work. He found a camera in a waterproof case that washed ashore on the Florida Keys and traced it back to the owner from Aruba. The owner lost it in Nov/09 and he found it last week. Along the way, in Jan/10, a turtle tried to eat the camera and must have pushed buttons and it started recording for 20 mins until the batteries died. A newspaper editor in Aruba is going to put this in their local paper. I thought it was a cool story

    Him asking for help identifying the pics:

    The turtle video:




    Aruba forum where someone recognized the people/family in the pics:

    Yeah the turtle has some shitty camera skills. LoL

    I got this from the boards listed above:
    Thank you, Marci. It was a pain to edit that video. Only 5 minutes was with the turtle. It went on to record another 15 minutes (and 2gb) of just the camera floating there, assumably until the batteries died.
    But cool none the less that it recorded and that this case held up.

    I was gonna ask if you knew what case it was. Whatever brand it is should get ahold of the rights to that video for advertising. 3 months at sea, turtle biting on it and it still protected the camera.

    He said it was an Ikelite.

    He also mentioned that he had contacted the company in the thread.

    Dang turtle is a lousy camera operator.....
    "Postal" is a positive term. It means providing fast, friendly service to every customer.

    The question is not how far. The question is do you possess the constitution, the depth of faith to go as far as is needed? The Duke.
