River boat with outboard engine

A toue, a traditional flat-bottom boat on the Loire river, sails at a constant speed. This clip was recorded from the bow, so the dominant sound is that of the water hitting the hull. We also get to hear the distant hum of the outboard engine, located at the stern. This was recorded near La Chapelle-sur-Loire, a village on the right bank of this big French river.

Recorded with Sony PCM-D50's stereo mics with a wind muff on.

Very nice recording. Has just the right mix of burble and engine noise.
