Sailing South

Well it's been a bit over three weeks back on the water and I'm anchored off the Hobe Sound National Wildlife refuge near Jupiter Florida. It's currently raining and gusting to 35 or more so I have elected to sit tight for a change and catch up on a few task - one being an update to this blog. Many of you are following the adventures of Steve and Pungo on facebook and for those of you who are not, head on over there for many more images.

What am I doing? I'm headed south on my 26ft Island Packet sailboat, "Pungo". How far and where are unknown at this time. I am sitting at a cross roads right now trying to figure out my next move. Wait for the next southerly to Head out Lake Worth Inlet and over to Grand Bahama Island or catch an up-coming Northerly for an outside run down to Biscayne Bay and then over to Bimini. If I go to Biscayne bay I might take a side trip down to see Cyndi and Scott Perkins who are moored in Marathon Key on their Sailboat "Chips Ahoy". Choices

So far the trip has gone well. It was very cold in the beginning for sure but have been pretty comfortable for the last few days. There are always trials and tribulations on the water and I have had my share but the freedom is worth every penny. As Bernard Moitessier wrote" All in all, I have had a lot of luck in my misfortunes" That would hold true in all aspects of my life.

Well there's a quick update for you and now back to looking for mermaids.

Happy Holidays everyone!

Chasing the Light expedition

live oak near the mouth of the New River

Well it's been five weeks of sailing and photographing the coast of North Carolina and I'm still headed north to the NC/ Virginia border. Back in March I found a shoal draft Island Packet sailboat that would be perfect for sailing the shallow coast of North Carolina, so I sailed it back to Wilmington and got to work on the necessary repairs and upgrades. I quickly found out that boat is an acronym for Break Out Another Thousand. After several months of outwardly flowing money and sweat I finally threw off the dock lines and pointed Pungo down the Cape Fear river.

I had been wanting to do some aerial photography of the coast and especially the patterns of the marshes for some time but never seemed to be here when the grasses were green. As a short term solution to getting something from the air I built a remote control camera rig that I send up on a kite. The first few times were quite scary - what am I saying, It's scary every time.

A funny thing about wanting to catch the grasses green, not only for the aerial work but also for regular landscapes is that I am finding I like a lot of the landscapes shots in Black and White.

I hope to be better about posting about my journey here, but for those of you who use facebook you can find me there for more spontaneous postings.

I Look forward to sharing my journey

All new work @ Wilmington Wine. Aril fOOlS dAy 6-8 605 Castle Street

During jan/feb of 2010 I made 6 trips out within a four block radius of my house. This show is the result of those walks. Most of the images are architectural which is my first departure from nature based imagery. Wine Tasting, Hors d'oeuvres, live music and free washer and dryer to the first 100 peoples through the door. hope to see you there!

a few new shots over the last week.

Snow in Wilmington

Just a little fun with some rare snow here on the coast
