. . . CABIN NOTES: The Week of the 4th

http://cabinnotesatsea.blogspot.com/2012/07/week-of-4th.html

Life on the Water. Sunday, July 8, 2012. The Week of the 4th. Oh what a Fourth of July week we had! As with much of the eastern seaboard, we were having a heat wave, a tropical heat wave. Aren't you glad you cannot hear me croon? Last weekend, our friends Pat and Judy went to sleep late due to the heat and humidity on the Chesapeake. They woke early (0100) due to the 50 knot straight line winds that began to drag their anchor. It was the same storm that damaged the DC area. Courtesy Carol E.). Note teal ...

So we had coffee, remiinisced about our past 6 months together and then prepared to leave dear friends and a lovely town of Oriental.

The Salish Sea: January 2013

http://pobien41.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

Sailing, cruising, poetry, and reflections. Tuesday, January 15, 2013. Not going, not coming,. Rooted, deep and still,. Not reaching out, not reaching in,. Just resting, at the center. The single jewel, the flawless crystal drop,. In the blaze of its brilliance,. What does all of this mean in practical terms. We are both individually evaluating the issue do we keep the boat or sell it? Do we move back to Boulder where I can resume my Buddhist practice? Wednesday, January 2, 2013. The Importance of Access.

http://pobien41.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

Sailing, cruising, poetry, and reflections. Friday, October 26, 2012. Home and wet, coffee was delicious. As we engage in the planning process of going south for the winter/spring there are many things we need to do in order to have a good voyage. The two major projects are upgrading the engine / propulsion system and the single sideband system. There she is the little OILER of my bilge. Here last hours in the saloon before moving out. The Nanni Mercedes coming out thru the companionway hatch. Well&#8230...

. . . CABIN NOTES: Tidbits

http://cabinnotesatsea.blogspot.com/2012/06/tidbits.html

Life on the Water. Sunday, June 24, 2012. Summer is not a time for lengthy projects. It is a time to get done what needs doing with as small a burst of energy as possible. Even so, effort equals extreme sweat. Time for the pool. And meals that are more hors d'oeuvres than entrees. In short, a season of tidbits all around. When Steve and Lynn visited on Celebration. Sundowner edibles aboard Celebration. The set of the sails illustrates how unpredictable the wind. Thunderstorm passes the point. Blackwater ...

. . . CABIN NOTES: Sail Blog: The Beginning

http://cabinnotesatsea.blogspot.com/2011/06/sail-blog-beginning-060311.html

Life on the Water. Saturday, June 4, 2011. Sail Blog: The Beginning. Once, when I was between colleges, I decided I needed to buy a Hobie 16 catamaran. I persuaded my father to go in for half the cost even though he had never sailed. We picked up our new boat behind Marsh’s Surf Shop on the causeway from Morehead City to Atlantic Beach. The folks at Marsh’s launched the boat in the canal behind the shop. What was I thinking? June 6, 2011 at 8:42 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Week of the 4th.

Life on the Water. Saturday, September 3, 2011. Since my last post, we have moved. Back to her slip in Oriental Harbor Marina, one of the few still intact on A Dock, mainly to be closer to our friends. None of the docks have power nor will they for some weeks as the surge entirely submerged the power pylons. We watched the Towboat US crew raise. Free would aim toward the slip adjacent to ours, then swiftly accelerate. If the captain had not been aimed away from us when the tow lines snapped, he would...
