Sailing Errant

When introspective
is retrospective, limbo
alights at sundown.

Aerial view of Westport Marine Base on Lake Champlain in Westport, NY (circa 1970-9). This is the marina where I was a dock boy for many summers in the mid 1980s through early 1990s.

Tornado watch... Hoping we aren’t hit!

Close to home. Bobbing just beyond Rosslyn boathouse and counting my lucky stars...

In good company at Westport Marina. Thanks for good sleeps and good eats. And good eats at Westport Yacht Club too!

Looking up! Sailing through quarantine... one puff at a time.

Close encounters of the car ferry variety, though not too close for comfort. So much respect for LCT captains and crews, commercial vessels in general, and wide berths...

US Coast Guard zipping across our bow on Lake Champlain. Hope everything is all right!

“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.”

Home at anchor after our first day of sailing 2020 season on Lake Champlain. And it’s been revitalizing to my core! Perhaps self-medicating the summer with will restore a modicum of balance and optimism?!?! I certainly hope so. I am ultra ready for a full system reboot...
