The Horse Latitudes, The Continuing Journey Of Randall Reeves Figure Eight.
If you haven't heard of Randall he's my fellow Californian who is sailing around the world via a Figure 8. What like a knot or some other obscure thing, Joe? Nope, see the pic above. Randall is a badass. While we are hiding in our secure world of apps and Instacart (they are not a sponsor) R...
Shaving cream
Real nice and clean
Shave every day and
you'll always look keen.
Seaweed Sunday.
Fear the beard.
When I was in my prime there were no girls named Cheyenne. I wish there had been. Obviously.
Fish On Fridays.
Kiss me, baby! Female angler Cheyenne Lee. She has a few followers on Instagram. I wonder why?

Excellent ladder form.

Every time this happens the lucky survivors say the shark was simply checking out the surroundings. The ones who know better got et.
Hey Buddy, I'd Like To Take You Out For A Bite Of Lunch.
A photographer captured the startling moment a great white shark burst out of the water opening its jaws just feet away from a cameraman. Australian filmmaker Dave Riggs snapped the dramatic image off the coast of Port Lincoln, Australia, while he was filming for Discovery Channel's Shark Week...
Sail the XL Apple!
The Great No Place To Sail In America Tour Continues. Requested By Bonnie, Today's Stop Is The Big Apple.
It's ludicrous to suggest New York as a sailing venue. It make absolutely no sense to hold an event in a place that is the media and finacial center of the United States, has hotels, restaurants, shopping, tourists, and a natural ampitheater that can accomidate a ...
Neoprene is the great enabler. You gotta go where the banshees are. Boo-rah
Getting Back Into Windsurfing. (moving pictures)
After a very long time, I've been convinced by a friend to get back into windsurfing. So I'll be going over to Berkeley sometime this month and start sailing(windsurfing...board sailing) at Cal Sailing. For a mere $99, I'm able to sail 7 days a week for 3 months. Woo-Hoo!
That's a hazard when your feet are jammed way into the footstraps.
Wednesday Wipeout. "The Head Drag."
What, I needed a drink of water!

What Did You Do This Past Weekend?
Go sailing or swimming? I do see sails ..... in the water, Baydog. But, I wouldn't call it sailing. Chesapeake defined!
Nice mermaid. Here is a fish for you:

Monday Morning Mermaid.
I hope you had a great weekend. Happy Monday!
I did not know any of those things. I did know that I loved sailing Hobie Cats. Thank you Hobie, RIP.

Sure there is...I'm studying up on the year of the horse. Nice filly. Hey what's the use of a granny knot?
Be Prepared! (Seamanship Skills)
There's no excuse not to know your knots, now.
(my comment asked) "would that be the Diamond Shoal of the Outer Banks? Graveyard of the Atlantic? What of be saided on the charts is "extremely dangerous" for boatage?
Winslow Wednesday.
Diamond Shoal by Homer Winslow Homer. Painted in 1905. Things aren't looking good for our fearless friends on the steamer.

Of course Al Gore (via his movie) predicted such things. Global climate change is a weather freak show. Are those fish good to eat?
Fish On Fridays. "Frozen Fish."
Fishcicles! (Al Gore's dog takes a spin on the ice.) Isen frรธs sรฅ fort at fisken ikke hadde en sjanse. Translation: the sea froze so fast, those fish didn't stand a chance. Translation of translation: f*cked fish! Via NRK.
Some spots are not accessible by reindeer, methinks!
Santa Of The Day.
Out he goes for one more session on the water.
I'm with Tillerman (actually I'm with Sally). On Vaca! Lobster Salad y'all!
Monday Morning Mermaid.
Happy Monday! It's time to return to the salt mines and earn some money. Snap to it! Mermaid: Alana Blanchard
I wonder if they miss sailing.
Fuimos A La Playa Y Jugรณ En La Bahรญa.
Fun was had by all. Joe talks to a Kiteboarder. Joe to Kiteboarder: How long have you been kiteboarding? Kiteboarder to Joe: I've been kiteboarding for 5 years. Before that, I windsurfed for 20 years. Joe to Kiteboarder: Do you still windsurf? Kiteboarder to J...
I don't know, Baydog...for a waterfront place with rigged gear waterside they may not want to leave. Guess it depends on how bad the apres-sail life is. Food and booze and soforth.
Windy!
Sรญ seรฑores, hay viento!
Nice view of the action.
ahem
Have A Great Weekend!
Pau hana time. The sun is shining and the air is warm, I'm out of here.
These sales create dignity-free zones, or what is sometimes called by electronic news media professionals a pig-f**k.
No thank you. I recognize the bravery of those who engage.
The Natives Are Restless!
How much do you want to bet that the "deals" these folks are scrambling over today will end up in a closet or storage unit by the time "Black Friday" rolls around again next year! I've got to a get a deal, Joe, even if it means spending money that I don't have on stuff that I don't...
Yes it is! Got my first moderate bit of air this afternoon in over half a year. My piloting was poor but the thrill was there!
Friday Flyover.
It's all about the air!
