Not jeep pics.

I went out to my back yard a few weeks ago between jeep trips. Just to see if the grass needed mowing. :D

The orange dot is the sun at the lowest visible LHA on deck for the day.
It actually set at this latitude 97 seconds ago. :D

So I got tired of washed out colors, even at shallow depths.

Phil took this of me from the surface. Easy 20 feet down, and there's still clarity and color. Before, without flash, this would have been just a blue screen.

Sweet Pics. My oldest boy has always wanted to sail on bigger boats but....living in Oklahoma, I don't see that happening soon. Me on the other hand, I would be tossing my chum over the side.

Now I know why we haven't seen Opie. You got irritated him and threw him overboard. :D

Good job!

Good job! How heavy is the anchor attached to his foot?

Seriously though, has he developed sea legs yet, or is he still all over the boat?

:D

Phil and Bryan both took to sailing well. Wednesday night racing has been a weekly highlight. I havn't been racing much over the last few years, especially Wet Wednesdays, but these guys got me going on it again this year. It's been a blast. Phil even scored a second place finish driving XS on a leeward leg in one race. Bryan will be a crack headsail trimmer in a few weeks.

It was a great island trip last time out. Conditions are all time classic this year.

Arch Rock is on the east end of Anacapa. There is a much smaller arch on the west end of Catalina, near Eagle Rock.
