Duck Diving.

Quack, quack!
No doubt about it, I've got to post more surfing photos.

Wednesday Weather Website. "Forecast.io!"

Wow!

I think it's visually stunning, especially when you load the animation. Of course, I went to Architecture school, and if you haven't guessed by the orientation of this blog, am a visually oriented person.

Take a look.

High Tides Only Happen At Night!

KPTV - FOX 12

Eric King, of Eugene, Oregon went for a stroll on the beach Monday morning. He wasn't aware the tide was coming in until it was too late.

Luckily for him, he had a rock to stand on and a cell phone to call for help

"I don't really know how tides work," Eric said. "I was under the impression, which might be pretty ignorant of me, but I was under the impression that the moon had the major thing to do with the tides, so I thought tides were high at night. But, apparently, they have high tides during the day, too."

Where Am I?

What was the Tillerman doing when this photo was taken?
What did Baydog have for lunch, and what happened to Savory?
Did Bonnie lick the ground because she thought it was full of shaved ice?
Where is the great and mysterious "O?"

More questions tomorrow.

Monday Morning Mermaid.

Happy Monday! Did you have a great weekend?

Have A Great Weekend!

Try and make it out onto or into the water this weekend. I know the Tillerman thinks it's unnatural, but I'm going rowing. See you Monday.

Fish On Fridays.

Food for fish on Fridays?
Joe, Joe, Joe, why are you so negative? Sharks are misunderstood; they're gentle and playful. I think I'll jump in and swim with them. From the deepest reaches of my paleo brain something screams out to me and it doesn't say sharks are playful, more like hungry!

I Miss Hawai'i!

I bet you were expecting a couple of frolicking wahines prancing around a beach. Don't worry, that will come later.

Photos by Mark Denzer taken at the KYC Single Handed Race. I ran them through Photoshop, and then cropped and applied a color pencil filter to them in Picasa.

Meanwhile In Tiverton.

The Tillerman celebrates the arrival of Spring. Eh Brah, look at all dat shave ice!

Photos: Sail In Finland.

What's Snow, Joe?

I don't know.

Bonnie says, "Like shave ice before the syrup, only fluffier, and EVERYWHERE. No azuki beans or ice cream either."

Bonnie, does shave ice come from Mauna Kea?

Wednesday Wipeout. "Double Trouble."

T-bone stake, right through the heart.

All that open water, and out of nowhere this thing jumped in front of us and dismasted our boat!

Old School ... Seiling

Det er hva jeg kaller moro!
Thanks to the History Channel for peaking my interest in Vikings.

Tillerman Tuesday. (Team NZ Damage Wingsail In Dramatic Incident.)

Is the Tillerman behind this mishap? He is madly promoting some old guy sailing contest in Newport.

More on the incident here.

If I've Said It Once, I'll Say It A Thousand Times.

The sea is not for the weak of heart. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Have A Great Weekend!

Try and make it out into or onto the water this weekend! See you next week, maybe.

Deck Shoes,

Not on my boat!
I guess if you're a rich Russian oligarch you won't care if your girlfriend prances around your nice teak deck in her high heels.

Fish On Fridays. "Mr. Big Teeth Swims By."

What's holding you back? Jump on in and swim with him. He's sweet, lovely and misunderstood.

Fish On Fridays. "Voici La Vahiné."

Sharks, who wants to see sharks? After a long week of working in the salt mines, you want to have a treat. That's why God made fish.

I don't care how sweet, lovely and misunderstood sharks are, I'm not going to jump in the water and swim with them. You can call me a chicken, it won't phase me a bit.

Habemus Papam! (I Know, A Day Late And A Dollar Short....But Look At The Photo.)

Is it just me or do we live in a strange world?

How did Bill Waterson know?
