Assateague Island, before Sandy
Wow, that was different.
Sunday through Wednesday were the best days of sailing I’ve ever had. Clear autumn sunshine, steady breezes, afternoons in the 80’s, good friends, etc..
But before I can get the photos up, an epic hurricane rolls in and buries everything under 4 feet of wind-driven storm surge, erasing it all.
. . . is everything.
I’ve been going through the photos and video from last week, prepping for a half dozen posts. Such a glorious few days: chilly enough for a campfire at night, but sunny and in the 80’s during the afternoons for shorts and t-shirts. Some of the best sailing I’ve ever had. Some great photos and nice video from the trip.
Strange to think that now, less than a week later, every place I stood on land, from Sunday night to Wednesday morning, is now under a raging torrent of water. And there’s a blizzard warning here. What?
More soon.
Nice way to start the day, third great day of sailing.
Postcards from the road.
Steady wind. Sunny skies. Not a bad Monday.

Just a quickie:
The ISS “Stacks” from Christoph Malin on Vimeo.
Images from the ISS (International Space Station) stacked into sequences.
Very satisfying.
Did I tell you I capsized last time I went sailing?
With a friend, his first time out. In a sudden storm. Much excitingness.
That was back in July, actually.
I’ve been meaning to get around to all that; but time, you know, slips by.
Details later.
