One of my favorite sunset pictures, (looking just north of due east!), from my back window. The sailboat on the far right is ours.
Wednesday is photo day!

OK, so we switched to sunrise. Somewhere south of Block Island on passage from Cape May to Westport, MA about 4 years ago on a Cheoy Lee 42 schooner.
Richland-Chambers Reservoir August 2004. Using a 16' daysailer as a weekender. The Admiral was still learning about sailing.

Does anyone remember the Popeil's Pocket Fisherman?
When I was a kid living at Clearwater Marina, there was a guy who drove up to the foot of the causeway and pulled out his Popeil's Pocket Fisherman. He baited his hook and "cast" into the water below the bridge. Well, he got tangled and struggled for a few minutes. Finally he got it ready for another "cast". Apparently, a "birds nest" resulted and he spent another number of minutes getting that out. By this time, we could hear him cursing all the way across the parking lot. He tried again, and again had trouble. Finally he cocked his arm back and that Popeil's Pocket Fisherman is now on the bottom under the causeway bridge at the end of Clearwater Marina. The guy turned back to his car and popped his trunk. He reached in and pulled out a traditional spincaster.
Fishing, I think, is the only sport that promises to relax and reconnect us with nature like no other, but only delivers on that promise half the time. The other half of the time, it ratchets up the stress to a level only, otherwise, achieved from divorce proceedings.

Jim, something about that picture that just relaxes me. That's what I want out of life.
Those colors are incredible! What a picture, that last one is.

That photographer does some excellent work with HDR (high dynamic range) photos of South Florida. Here is a link to his site Kimo HDR Photo Gallery
I thought it was the Ronco Pocket Fisherman. I'm thinking like 1972ish. Mine was tan in color with a white crank handle. It was junk. I did much better with a drop line.
