If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times, this is not a hobie cat!

Tasty Tuesday.

Turn your eyes away, Tilly. I don't want to upset your sensibilities.
Something nice to eat on a warm and sunny day! Sorry, Baydog, the weather has been wonderful here en El Área de la Bahía. Im thinking about breaking out the grill.

Monday Morning Mermaid.

 

Angela loves the water.

Have A Great Weekend!

Try and make it out onto or into the water this weekend.

Fish On Fridays. (The End Result)

It's time to eat.
I told you Baydog, food! Can the Tillerman eat fish? There are so many gradations of vegetarianism that it makes my head spin.

Aloha Friday.

A little bit of aloha to take you into the weekend.
I miss Hawai'i!

Dedication.

You know that water is cold!
Not me, Buddy. I'm too much of a baby to dip my toes into a sea with ice and snow. (human beings did evolve in the tropics, didn't they?)

Fish On Fridays.

Gee whiz, it has a slight metallic taste, even with that orange reduction sauce.

Why Do I Like Surfing?

I wonder what it could be? 

Putt Putt Putt Putt...

What is the sound an old outboard makes?

Tillerman Tuesday On Wednesday.

Old son, this is what proper food should look like. The top one is for me, and the bottom on is for you (vegetarian). Hopefully you won't run for the nearest exit and high tail it down to the local pub to calm your nerves.

For clarification on this post take a look at this photo. Please, if you have little children in the room, cover their eyes. I don't wish them to be traumitized for life.

note to Baydog: let the food posts begin!

Wednesday Wipeout.

It always pays to have a camera with you.
Brilliant sailing moments like the one above are preserved for eternity. Well done, chaps!

Marine Life Monday.

Monday Morning Mermaid.

Happy Monday!
See, no stick needed.

It's 12:30, The Sun Is Shining, And The Temperature Is Warmer.

Have a great weekend! The beach is calling, so I'm out of here.

Fish On Fridays.

Kiss me baby!

The One Gun You Should Have.

If you're a sailor
Okay, maybe not if you're out in a dinghy. But since I'm a worry wart, I always have some sort of a signalling device with me.

Toro! Toro! Ole!

John Amen sailing his El Toro out of Richmond YC on San Francisco Bay.
This photo reminded me that I have to get hopping on my projects for 2013: El Toro, Ulua. hatchet oars and a Stand Up Paddleboard. I'm motivated, now that I'm Force 5less.

Wednesday Wipeout.

Oh shit, so this it, I'm going to die!
This photo should give you, the non-surfer, a pretty good perspective on the power of those little things that roll across the ocean only to break against the shore, waves.
