Morning Weather Report

Posted on December 23, 2011 by Michael Scott

Today is a good day to hunker down below decks.  A new Northern hit around midnight.  A couple of boats lost their grip and dragged anchor through all the other boats this morning.  The winds are currently blowing right out … Continue reading →

Sun Set

Posted on December 19, 2011 by Michael Scott

The evening was still and the water was like glass making a hand-held shot of the southern sky possible without a flash.  Thought I’d share it with everyone.
