New Year's Goal.

More time on and in the water with minimal equipment. I remember when I was happy with just a pair of fins.

What Is It, Joe?

It seems that our man in Hawaii, Mark Denzer, wasn't happy being the circumnavigator of Oahu. He's gotten into the inventing business and come up with a contraption that should bring joy to old Laser sailors worldwide. The only question I have for him is, "where's the cup holder?"

Happy New Year + 5 Days!

Thank you for the upgrade, AT&T!
You know that new router that you sent me, it has celebratory flashing red indicator lights. Let me tell you how thrilled I was waiting on the phone for 2 hours for someone to tell me, "Yeah, you're router is defective."  I also want to thank you for sending out a technician who also said, "Yeah, you're router is defective." Then he added to my joy by telling me, "Your phone line needs to be rewired in order to have the upgrade. Did I mention that this service call is $100 an hour?" Ka-ching! Can you say Xfinity?

I really wish the Luddites in San Francisco hadn't blocked Google from giving us free Wi-Fi.

Thanks to an unsecured network from a nieghbor's house and a spot in my kitchen, I have snuck back onto the web.

Will you ever get bored of barrel distorted GoPro videos? I won't as long as they feature wahines. But guys, basta on the endless photos and videos pointed at you from the nose (bow, mast) of your surfboard, windsurfer or boat. Turn the camera around and show me your point of view. That makes for far more interesting shots, unless you're Kelia Moniz.

Jellies.

I'm getting a little artsy fartsy here.

You won't confuse the Serenity Cat with Bunty's new Evo.

How Does Clark Little Take Those Great Photos Of Waves?

Pretty cool. There is some munchola time associated with his photos.
