That is a pretty angry looking sea. Just look at that green water and those white caps.

High surf off the coast of maui this week (Kihei side, which isn’t normally like this).
No scuba diving on the shore reefs so far…too silty from the surf…and way too rough.
But the whales are frisky and the sunsets are as spectacular as ever.

High surf in Miloi'i, on the big island, as well:
The pessimist in me says “Damn the clock is broken.. We’ll never know what time it is.”
The optimist in me says… Oh Boy the clock is broken… At least we know it will tell the exact time twice a day… That is unless it is one of those sailor 24 clocks…

And the optimist in me says…”It’s 5:00 somewhere”. And “who cares what time we get back”.

When I retired after 30+ years in the petrochemical industry, I put away my razor and my watch.
So the realist in me says "It's rather cool. Must be January or February."

Lake Havasu Arizona yesterday. The unusual boat is a John Wellsford Penguin 21 visiting from Oregon. Storm building made for some good pictures.. and we did get spanked by the storm somewhat LOL.

Another picture of the same boat (John Welsford Penguin 21) at Lake Havasu Arizona yesterday. A few boats had beach camped the night before, this is just after heading out for the sail back.
What a sexy little beast. I would be proud to own a boat like that... and could imagine doing some ghunkholling for weeks at a time.
It is a kit boat. Here is where the plans are found...https://jwboatdesigns.co.nz/plans/boats-with-cabins-and-sails/penguin/
From looking at more pics, the cockpit is a little tight. I would stretch it out about two more feet and add most of that room to the cockpit.
I did a google and found these as well

Since the boat is still under reconstruction, I took my wife to the beach. We were blessed with 4 days of sunshine and pleasant temperatures on the Oregon coast.
We stopped to have a picnic lunch and a sip of my favorite wine.
We found a nice State Park wayside where we opened a bottle of Maison Bleue Voyageur 2019. Sipping the wine, loving the sunshine while the ocean waves crash onto the rocks one can find their own ZEN moment.
Serene with their Syrah

I took these shots last Tuesday. All three sailboats are on the Ashley River near Charleston South Carolina. I’m not sure what’s up with the sudden rash of abandoned sailboats. Two of the boats have a broken mast. The one with the Coast Guard sign on it had a sale dripping from the boom for a couple of days and then someone came and took the sail of of the boom. The larger of the three with a broken mast still has some good hardware on the deck, I’m surprised someone hasn’t come and “harvested” it.
