The wind on the Pool stage was pretty heavy, while the ship was in motion.
I had my recorder somewhat sheltered, resulting in a mostly decent recording.
It's by no means perfect, it is an outdoor show, so inconsistent audio is to be expected.
I was relatively close to the stage, so the sound blowing around was much less
than on other audio I recorded at the pool stage. For those familiar with
the layout, I was close to the hot-tub.
