#Boating
One of my #GreatLoop #boating friends just shared this. Having lived through days and weeks of the same ( or worse) bad air in the PNW during fire season, I know exactly what they’re facing. Bad enough when you’re stuck indoors in a house, but on a 32 foot boat? I really feel for them. I advised them to find someplace with good air like a museum or mall to spend the day since poor visibility has them stuck where they are.
Anchored to this earth
But not of it
Always tugging the line
Moving with the currents
She was made to sail
To wander
Where is the one
Who can bring her to life
Knowing hands
Playing her strings
Pulling pulling pulling
She takes
Her first hungry breath
Submitting
To the wind
She is finally
Free

Two of my #GreatLoop #boating friends are getting on the Erie Canal this coming week and I am dying of jealousy. I’ve been on it before — I did the entire length from Albany to Buffalo as a crew member on someone else’s boat back in August 2021 — but am itching to do it again at my own pace. Next summer.
In the meantime, I keep sending them notes and tips, including a link to this video about the creation of the original Erie Canal:
#Boating around #Manhattan & taking #photographs of #StatueOfLiberty #EllisIsland and #FreedomTower #photography #NYC
#Today I got to drive deep into Almaden Valley past Calero Reservoir.
Normally, I would only get to see this area while road biking through. Today, a #DoorDash delivery took me through to shortcut my way back to Santa Teresa.
I never mind a drive that provides a lovely view! Read the #AltText to get more info.

"Still raining and blowing strong. In the same place all day.
"Friday. Got off from our encampment in the afternoon, and with the assistance of a little sail wind got out of Cedar Lake and encamped a short distance below it.
"Saturday. Fine weather. As the water is in a good state we run the Grand Rapid will full cargoes, and only one boat was broken. Met Alexis L'Esperance with 7 boats on his way to Portage La Loche. #Boating #History #HistoricJourney #Books
I've been struggling to think of what I ought to be posting as my #introduction to the social media world. Spend too much time on my web sites, two of which are #boating related. After selling my #SeaHawk have bought a #HamptonSafari to cruise the #norfolkbroads, our local #waterways.
Thanks to those who have followed me. All #boaters, it seems.

"About breakfast time the principal part of the brigade had arrived, but some of the boats did not arrive until near evening, and we consequently could not get far. Encamped opposite the entrance of Cumberland Lake #Manitoba. Each boat left 5 pieces of Pemican at the Portage. Two boats from #CumberlandHouse, in charge of C.T. George Deschambeault joined us here.

The flower trays that I painted with the roses are looking pretty spiffy with the flowers coming up.

Yesterday I returned from a week of great #sailing along the #Antrim coast of #NorthernIreland. We took a trip to #Belfast and I went to the "Friend at Hand" #whiskey shop. After buying a bottle, I got a wee tour round the museum - collected by owner Willie Jack, filled with old and rare whiskies and artefacts connected to Belfast, The Titanic and Ireland. Fascinating
Friend at Hand "Pride Not Prejudice" 13 y/o (Bushmills), 46% abv, NC, NCF
Their LGBTQ whiskey. The owner gifted a bottle to Arlene Foster, formerly 1st Minister of NI. "We take pride in who we are and we don’t have any prejudice."
Orchard fruit on the nose with sugary sweet honeycomb, caramel and Swizzles Love Hearts. Warming mouth feel with lots of red berries and a hint of vanilla toffee, and some citrus fruit. Nice hit of alcohol and a smooth sweet finish. Green apples in the dregs. Opens up even more with a drop of water. A quality dram.

The Annual, Safe Boating Awareness Week will take place across Canada from May 20 to May 26
To help boaters focus on what is important, the CSBC and its partners are promoting five key boating safety
messages directed towards the most common boating related incidents. They include:
1. Wear Your lifejacket
2. Boat Sober
3. Be prepared, You and Your Vessel
4. Take a Boating Course
5. Be Cold Water Safe
"Lunch at the Restaurant Fournaise," Pierre-Auguste Renoir, 1875.
The Restaurant Fournaise was a great favorite of the Impressionist crowd and still stands today, both a restaurant and a museum of the era. It was also the setting of the famous "Luncheon of the Boating Party."
Isn't this just what we need? A leisurely lunch in a lovely restaurant by the river?
From the Art Institute of Chicago.

Fisherman In Morning Mist
Solitude at its finest. Other than a few ducks quacking in the distance and the sound of the fisherman's paddle pushing through the water, it was calm and quiet. It is one of my favorite photographs from my local area.

Did I mention that Buddy was a sailor?
Now, I've had three other cats that would shred you, if their paws got dipped in the water.. One cat swam underwater from the boat to the shore, and never allowed another visit near a boat. But not old SKIPPER BUDDY, he loved watching us fish, the ducks, cormorants, seals, and a taste of salt on the seaweed we caught out #Boating #Boat #Skipper #Fishing

My wife can't lift a corner of a boat.
I'm not a big person. My boats are tiny so I can manage alone. I've made carts & slips to put them in the ocean myself. My wife & I venture into the #100WildIslands off #Halifax area of #NovaScotia. I publish a little #TravelBlog of each new adventures, to bait all of you who #kayak or #boat.
You'll see me post photos of River Otters in harbour, seals following us around, Mackerel fishing, coastlines & Islands in my feed
#Boating
An absolute belter of a morning here in Largs - still pretty cool (2°) but it should warm up to around 10° 😀
Lots of wee jobs to do on the boat, jobs that get left undone when sailing starts. Pressure washed the deck yesterday and reproofed the canvas - looking great!
A couple of my painted flower pots 'in the wild'. 😄

Trying some more 'roses and castles' stuff, but trying to add thistles to the mix. You know, #Scotland and all that jazz.
I think I should use dark green as shading to the thistles instead of the brown.

I have crossed into North Carolina. In case anyone other than me is keeping track, this is state #11 on this boat trip. I’ll pass 2500 miles today. #GreatLoop #boating #DoItNow

Anyway, there was no damage done to the boat at all. I later discovered various alerts for the area about the shallow water. I had never experienced this level of shoaling before and it was a good lesson to me. I’ll pay closer attention to alerts and stick closer to the “recreational track” on my chart plotters as I continue to navigate north on the ICW. #boating #GreatLoop
Was at the beach early one morning for sunrise and spotted this early bird trying to catch that worm … or fish. It was a beautiful day for fishing on the Gulf waters and I hope he was lucky enough to have something to take home for dinner.

Hey hey boat nerds, Off Center Harbor's Classic Boat Show is happening this week, and is getting extended through March 5th! It's a cheap ticket ($10) and the presentations are great (as is the gallery of boat photos, be still my heart)! All presentations are available for viewing later, so if you get a ticket now, you can still watch the earlier days.
"I'd rather be fishing"
Actually, we enjoy boating. We just fish to pass the time. Although the cat preferred that we fished too.
Have you ever had a cat out in a rowboat? Fun, isn't it? 😂

I just found a website that sells dinghies (the wee boats that folks row to and from their big boats), and it’s - I can’t even quite believe this - aimed so totally at straight men that it devotes an entire section of the website to explaining why “she” would support you buying it. Your wife/girlfriend. Of you, the Obviously Male Captain/Owner Who Makes Boat Decisions. Sailing can be really forking sexist but this is practically parody.
One of my favorite photographers is Sam Abell. I especially love his series on canoeing. So I set out with my husband on a seriously cold March day to canoe the Delaware River here in Milford, PA. There was a serious wind and we didn't get very far, but it was a memorable experience. https://pixels.com/featured/canoeing-renata-natale.html

Sea kayakers paddling in Jokulsarlon glacial lagoon in Iceland - I just loved how tiny the kayaks looked and how the red kayaks stood out against the blue of the lagoon.

I’m a #polymath who gets her kicks learning and doing new things.
I started in the corporate world in finance, then went freelance as a #writer, #author of #tech #books, articles, and #video training material. Along the way, I learned to fly #helicopters and bought one. I launched my own helicopter charter business and a popular #YouTube channel of #flying videos. Now I’m #semiretired, a #jewelry #artist and #boater, #boating along the #GreatLoop when I’m away from home.
Right now, my primary interest is #boating and I'm looking for more posts and accounts that post about that.
I'm the proud (and happy, so far) owner of a 2019 Ranger Tug R-29 CB that I've put on the #GreatLoop. I'm interested in connecting with other #Looper folks, as well as anyone who cruises in their own boat.
I suppose I should do an #introduction.
Hello! I live in #Chicago and do #DevOps work (mostly #kubernetes).
People generally use he/him pronouns for me, but I have no real preference.
My nerdy hobbies include #hamradio, #3Dprinting, #boardgames, and perfecting my #hometheater.
My less-nerdy hobbies include #camping, #backpacking, riding my #motorcycle, and #boating.
I don't expect my feed here to have any real consistent theme so follow at your own risk!

A #Jesus-follower aka #Christian but far from proud of what #Christianity has become & its truly shameful history. Trying to do my bit to make up for that by an #inclusive attitude & simple love for all. Love #canals & #boating; love #reading, esp SF&F. #ProstateCancer survivor. #Green. Married to the Archdeacon of Wilts but all views expressed here are mine: Sue speaks for herself.
