Not Your Grandma's Bathing Suit.

Do you still think I'm slipping, Baydog?

Mermaid Monday.

Et Dieu créa la femme.

Marine Life Monday.

It's a different world in the sea.

Do You Remember When...

...Windsurfing was cool?
That's a long time ago, Joe. I think the dinosaurs were still roaming the Earth.

I think the whole Stand Up Paddle thing has reached a tipping point. 
Gotta love the Herb Tarlek shorts.

Have A Great Weekend!

You know the drill. To quote some marketing guy from a major shoe manufacturer, "Just do it!"

Facebook Fatigue.

Sorry Mark, I know it's your big day. But I've hit the wall. I'm worn out by the endless posts, sharing and resharing of photos, sayings, causes and various other inanities on your delightful website. My mind has become mush and I can't concentrate any more. I'm not blaming you, I know it's me. So Mark, I'm going outside and rediscover the real world. Have fun, and thanks for all the fish!

I hope I don't turn into a pillar of salt! (a little bird told me not fear, I will still be here.)

Fish On Fridays.

You never know what lurks below.

Stand Up Picnic Table Paddling.

Gee whiz, can you make it any wider?
I think I could do touch and goes off it's flight deck.

Go fish!

Row, Row, Row Your Boat.

Gently around the bay.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.

Yes Doug, the Aero is a great boat for the bay. Now what about the Hoot or Soliton?

Hello ISAF Council, You're Right.

There's nothing "Olympic" about Windsurfing. Gee golly, gee Mr. Wilson. Did you know that Curling is an Olympic sport, but Windsurfing has been flushed down the toilet? Gosh, I didn't know that, Dennis.

My Favorite Boat Is A....

An Alden 16 rowing shell. There, my dirty little secret is out.

You Never Know What You'll See On The Bay.

Spotted over in Berkeley. It's great to see people who experiment.

Bonnie, It's Not Unusual To See Paddle Boarders On The Bay.

They're several of the them paddling along the water front, and none of them want to go out to the break and hang ten. I had to scour my photos to find a photo of a guy paddling by me. (I thought I took more.)

CLC sells plans or a kit for paddle boards.

Did I Mention Something About Big Ships?

What you don't want to see coming at you from astern.
No doubt about it, if you don't pay attention, you'll be sleeping with the fishes.

I'm continually surprised by all the numbskulls I encounter out on the water. I've got news for you guys, it's not virtual out there, stuff can kill you. So pull your face away from that smart phone for a second, and take a look around. Welcome to the real world, there isn't an app for that

Have A Great Weekend!

Try and make it out onto or into the water this weekend.

Sorry, Ladies!

Surfing is not an Olympic sport.
Like you really care.

What You Don't Want To See Coming At You Over Your Starboard Side.

The ocean is big, really big. It's so big that it boggles the mind that out of nowhere a ship appears coming at you like a missle. Two words to remember - radar and lookout. Always, always prepare for the worst.

Fish On Fridays.

Guess who's coming to dinner?

Laundry.

Color and art are everywhere. We just need to open our eyes and see the world around us.

I changed the photo by cropping it and playing with filters. The original is from the post Telas al aire by the fantastic illustrator, Eva Vázquez Abraham.
