. . . 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 ...

. . . 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.

. . . CABIN NOTES: Post-Irene Post
http://cabinnotesatsea.blogspot.com/2011/09/post-irene-post.html
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...

. . . CABIN NOTES: Bon Voyage Lowena
http://cabinnotesatsea.blogspot.com/2011/11/bon-voyage-lowena.html
Life on the Water. Saturday, November 19, 2011. Tony and Jenny on. Tony and Jenny are British. She hails from the south, he from the north. While the differences in the UK are different from our regional differences in the US, the dynamic is similar. Tony bought. Personally, I lusted after the granny bars with thole pins and the boom gallows, original to. But practical additions to any boat. Was re-powered with a Beta that purrs softly when turned on. After a few months in Whittaker Creek, they moved...

. . . CABIN NOTES: The End
http://cabinnotesatsea.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-end.html
Life on the Water. Thursday, February 12, 2015. Rather than string along with weak tales from the land, I have decided to mothball the blog as it was before we moved ashore. Nature as surrounded by it. It has been great fun to write for the past four years because I found good topics to feed the posts. It does not seem that way so much now, and most of my readers seem to mine the archives. I hope we sail some this year and, if we do, I will likely write new posts. March 22, 2015 at 7:31 PM.

. . . CABIN NOTES: Still Summer, Still Hot
http://cabinnotesatsea.blogspot.com/2014/09/still-summer-still-hot.html
Life on the Water. Friday, September 5, 2014. Still Summer, Still Hot. August and Labor Day are behind us, but it remains stunningly hot. And humid. Worse than any stretch of days during the summer months just past. Occasional breezes, but not consistent enough to keep us cool. Noted in a previous post. Near Edward, a blink of a crossroad west of Aurora, itself not much more than a blink of a town that has left its best days behind, but still boasts the Aurora Fossil Museum. A shadow to block the sun?

. . . CABIN NOTES: A Tribute to writer Randy Wayne White
http://cabinnotesatsea.blogspot.com/2013/06/a-tribute-to-writer-randy-wayne-white.html
Life on the Water. Sunday, June 2, 2013. A Tribute to writer Randy Wayne White. I just finished reading Randy Wayne White's latest novel, Night Moves. Twentieth in his Doc Ford series. I think it is his best. What is the plot of this one? I stumbled across one of his novels, not his best I now know, then backtracked to start at the beginning. Not essential, but a sensible way to read his work. Try RWW if you like saltwater and good tales well told. I cannot read enough of his work. June 3, 2013 at 2:52 PM.

. . . CABIN NOTES: Bear Island
http://cabinnotesatsea.blogspot.com/2012/04/bear-island.html
Life on the Water. Sunday, April 29, 2012. Blazing paddle over green water. Paddling with Lennon (Cameron). East end bluff and tidal slough. Camp at base of dunes. Sand bowl in the interior dunes. Cactus on the island. Cameron impaled above his achilles. Burrfish, a kind of puffer. Fiddler crab in cap. Close-up of fiddler claw. Things to stay the same. May 3, 2012 at 9:05 AM. Sounds like a terrific trip (except for the no-see-ums and lack of propane). May 4, 2012 at 3:04 PM. May 4, 2012 at 4:54 PM. Camer...

. . . CABIN NOTES: Message in a Bottle: The Tradition
http://cabinnotesatsea.blogspot.com/2012/11/message-in-bottle-tradition.html
Life on the Water. Friday, November 16, 2012. Message in a Bottle: The Tradition. A disorienting view of our bottle (too tall for Blogger). We inserted a page with. Message in this Bottle" written on it, just to be sure it was not mistaken for common beach garbage. Who knew there is such a long history of messages in bottles? Boreray, St Kilda, rising over 1200 ft from the sea. See http:/ www.stkilda.eu. Http:/ www.kilda.org.uk/. The Street in The Village c. 1886. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
