GoPro Epic Fails

Nothing makes one feel old and feeble like a GoPro. It's a great product in theory. Something portable to capture all of those fantastic family adventures. So why, after going through over 7000 (yes that's 3 zeros after the 7) pictures and videos, did we have so many GoPro fail moments?

Take a camera/ video recorder about the size of a match box, place it in a waterproof case, throw on a snorkel mask, submerge yourself under water and good luck capturing all those awesome family memories. Half the time we can't figure out if we're taking a picture or recording a video. 

What the hell is going on? I look thrilled.

Who doesn't want to capture a close up of a towel?

Fantastic 3 second video of my typical, "I'm using the GoPro" face.

Here's one to show the grandkids one day.

Day late and a dollar short dad...guess we'll capture that family moment, never.

Beats me.

The best of all our GoPro fails had to be the video I took. For some unknown reason I had the GoPro in my hand and took a video of myself frantically running around the boat naked trying to help Jessica who had just been stung on the lip by a Portuguese Man O War. I couldn't look uglier if I tried!

All is not lost. There was that one time when the stars aligned and we sucessfully took a picture with our GoPro using a selfie stick (before the selfie stick turned into a rusted pile of crap thanks to always being underwater).
