Tow, Tow, Tow Your Boat. No Gas Needed!

Human power all the way.
In September 2008, Julie and Colin Angus completed a 7,000 km journey from the northern tip of Scotland to the heart of Syria using exclusively human-powered amphibious rowboats.

I wonder if the Tillerman can tow his Laser with a bike?
He's worried that gas is going to go up in price.

Caught by the Puffin.
It has a strange metallic taste.

"She sails like a pig."

"I intend to push her pudgy little bow up every estuary and river worth exploring along our (Britain's) 20,000 mile long coast." Please visit Dylan's new website.

Maps On Monday. The Entrance To San Francisco Bay.

Shawn, take a look at the chart. This is why waves wrap around the point into the cove at (almost) 90 degrees. It's a good place to surf (if you like big rocks, crazy swells, cranky surfers, playing with strong tides and currents....not me).



The chart also shows you why you don't want to sail between the south tower of the Golden Gate Bridge and Fort Point.



You remember Capt. Joe Schidmt. He learned how to surf the hard way.



To quote the Puffin, "Munchola!"

Tillerman Tuesday.

Could this be the year of the Laser?
The Banshee has finally gone on to the great beyond.

Fish On Fridays. Three Of My Favorite Bloggers Go Fishing.

Bonnie looks cold, plus zipola in the fish department. You should have stayed in Hawaii. It's warm and there are a lot of fish, like the Ulua.



Meanwhile, somewhere in the tropics, Rose introduces Gary to a fish. They don't look cold. Bonnie you should have stayed in Hawaii. Gary also likes the Ulua.



Speaking of Hawaii. Shawn and his son, Dante, went to Ka‘alu‘alu Bay for some fishing, surfing and to camp out. Heavy clothes were not necessary. Bonnie, Bonnie, Bonnie, repeat after me, Hawaii, Hawaii, Hawaii. I know you can't wait to get back.

Mahalo nui loa to these fantastic bloggers.

Here Kitty, Kitty. Court Thinks Cats Can Serve On Jury Better Than Humans.

Jury duty? I want fish, not jury duty!
Sal the cat has been called up for jury duty by the Suffolk Superior Court in Massachusetts. His owner, Anna Esposito, filed for Sal’s disqualification of service. Sorry Sal, request denied! Mr. Commissioner, Sal is a cat. I know, you probably think he is more qualified than most humans.

I love government bureaucrats, son bromistas. What a joke!
