Talkin' Shit About A Pretty Sunset

For the past two weeks I've been working my ass off on my new boat: sanding, sanding, sanding, sanding, sanding, sanding --- painting with roller and brush --- with a break to sand for hours --- gunking on some caulking (more caulk on me than the boat) --- putting on the third, fourth and fifth coat (yes, the fifth).

Now I'm now on business in a different country -- Texas. I'll post pics of the boat's progress soon, I promise.

So to remind me what I'm working for, I'd like to post my favorite pictures from the sailing trips I took this summer.

Here's a great shot of our ship's medic passing me a Marlboro. Smoking, drinking and sailing go very well together, and that should be little surprise.



This was in the middle of a lazy Chesapeake wind. I found that there was a step on the mast and just perched there for a few minutes. G. McKenna is in the background:



Here's me in front of a stump on an island that's only accessible by boat on the Chesapeake. I'm keeping it a secret, but one day maybe I'll take you there:



Here's Chris throwing a 16 foot cast net in a remote anchorage in the Chesapeake. This is what inspired me to purchase two cast nets from ebay:
