No excuses, you have little to do.

I typed SAIL in "searching all my files". This was one from 2015. I instantly remember why I took it. Our kids used to make these buoy boats on beaches we've visited.

I love this simple buoy pond sailer because it proves (to me) that 99% of the mechanics of "sailing" are ancient and organic. Mystical, stone age simple.

Every single one that was hacked together on a remote beach - after a little tweaking, just sailed away.

Challenge accepted! Here's a photo taken the year after I got my boat. Not much to look at, but I've posted it!

We were sailing in the North Carolina Outer Banks and came across this little bit of salt marsh beach. The approach was very shallow so we had to anchor out quite a bit and I floated the coolers and chairs to shore for a picnic ... full belly, now it is time for a nap.

This one is from a summer trip to Oahu ~3 years ago. We always try to get out on one of the beach cats in Waikiki. It's a wet and wild ride.

Sunrise over Kent Island, Queen Charlotte Strait. Headed for Cape Caution.
Quiet West Coast anchorage. If you squint you can see Japan.

Since I haven’t been sailing in almost a year...
This is the second of 2 LEGO sets I own. My wife gave it to me this past Christmas. She gave me the Saturn V 2 years ago.

Here's a picture of sailing last summer with my new sail - pattern designed by my son resembling the endzone design of a football team - (hint) GO NAVY - BEAT ARMY

Paradise Creation: Halema'ma'u December 2016.

Fissure 8 June 2018.

Eruption Glow June 2018

New Land: The village of Kapoho and bay 10 hours before it was gone.

Gilligan's Island. Kaneohe Bay where Gilligan's Island was filmed.

When I visited Hawai'i during the 2018 eruption I was struck by how unlike most natural disasters, this was a disaster in slow motion. Fast forward 18 months and we are in a global natural disaster in slow motion. For many residents in Puna, the difficulty was in the waiting for the unknown, when would the lava flow, when would it arrive, when will this be over? It is much the same for C-19, where will it strike, when will strike, when can we get back to business as usual?

Each time I visit Kilauea and Volcano National Park I struck by the power, the beauty, and the force of the mountain. And struck by life that is found in an otherwise desolate land.

And by the power of the sea.

For me, sailboats underway represent adventure, and sailboats at rest represent possibilities. I hope that in this difficult time, we focus on the possibilities - to help each other, to learn, and to become better.

Stay safe everyone.
