Fortunately the two cracks are very minor so I don't think I will be needing bow ties for quite a while.
Wednesday is Photo Day - 2023

I love beautiful varnish. Very few are willing to do the work. Way to go Phil.
Down wind towards Haleiwa. A wide angle lens makes a small boat look not quite as small.
Hanging out in Waimea Bay trying out a new sunshade on Memorial Day.
Great photography (and a nice boat as the subject), but it is terribly unfair to use the Hawaiian islands as a background!

7000 ft elevation sailing in SW Colorado a couple days ago.
A curious photo. all pointed away from, but very close to, the shore with sails up, yet there appears to be no, or light, winds.
I dont know the details (just trailer day sail my Hobie TI here during the summer) but this was at the beginning of an informal race. The sailboats were grouping up waiting for a few more boats heading out from the marina. Ended up around nine or ten sailboats racing. There was actually a nice breeze for sailing. The picture is looking south towards the Sneffels range of the San Juan mountains and its surprisingly steady winds either North or South on this lake which was the case this day. The boats are coming from the marina to the East and the winds get very gusty near the marina. We were out on a hike when the sailboats showed up.
Something a little different from isolated remote anchorages - Chesapeake City MD last Sunday at sunset. Located on the C&D canal the Army Corps of Engineers uses the cove for their canal maintenance boats, and there’s space for several boats to anchor. The Chesapeake Inn on the left gets very busy on weekend afternoons, but the cove still had space when we arrived. We took our dinghy in to town for a walk around, dinner, and ice cream before returning to the relatively quiet anchorage.
It's Wednesday so here's a quick video from my latest band project.

Sunset last week at Wallace Island, BC... the heavy cloud looked like it was going to fizzle but then this.... Some wild fire smoke enhancement, unfortunately.....
My weekend cruising ground as seen from 400 ft directly above my wife's parents' house.
One of the very nice things about my weekend cruising grounds is that there are very few other boats. I often have it all to myself.

Happy 4th of July a couple days early. I spent a few hours this morning getting Kolibri ready to sail on the 3rd & 4th. We'll sail up to Waimea Bay on Monday, spend the night and most of the day on the 4th, then sail back to Haleiwa after dark to enjoy the fireworks from the water.
Playing with pictures at sunset while waiting for Canada day fireworks July 1st
A few pics from 4th of July in Waimea Bay. My boat (Morris Annie), what I think may be a Formosa ~60 footer, and a friend's fishing boat. There were ~20 boats anchored during the day. The smallest being a Hobie 16 and the largest being the Formosa (assuming that's what it is).
