Seven Seas & Amazing 16-year old Circumnavigator (solo)

2012-01-20T12:46:00.000-08:00

We’ve been asked our thoughts about the Costa Concordia situation. It is a tragedy. Having been at least 30 times on ocean liners and cruise ships (and not including my days with Holland America Line as a First Class steward in the late 1940’s), I guess people are curious because of our experience on the 7 seas.I’ve been in two shipwrecks. One, in April 1961, aboard a 60 foot sloop en route to

Our visiting sea lion (see two posts below) hasn't appeared for awhile. Must have anticipated the Arctic airflow. By now maybe he's back in balmy Monterey, to play. Victoria has been pummelled by a good layer of snow. Thermometer outside shows -9C. Usually we have one or two light days of snow, mostly the wet kind mixed with a sprinke of rain. However, one crocus has presented itself on the

Year of the Water Dragon

2012-01-14T16:45:00.000-08:00

Soon we’re entering another “New Year”, this time it will be Year of the Water Dragon, celebrated in the Orient and by immigrants settled on these shores. Twelve years ago, we were on a millennium world voyage aboard “Ocean Explorer I” where I conducted a floating art class and was resident guest artist. One of the many ports of call was Bali, Indonesia. There, we acquired this masterful

From balmy and lush Hawaii, home again to moist, cool and sometimes foggy climes - - - trademarks of Victoria winters. This does not seem to bother the wildlife, especially Hummingbirds. And the New Year brought a new (for us) visitor to our shore off Dallas Road. We spotted a large Sea Lion snoozing on a rock just 75 metres from our door. The last day or so she’s made it her home.

It has been quite awhile since our last post. With all the worldly goings-on, sometimes one wishes to be silent, amidst all the noise and drama. Just returned from a memorable, "free Vitamin D" sailing, circumnavigating the Hawaiian islands. Appreciate having the good health in order to do so. Highlights were:the Waimea Canyon, KauiHamela'uma'u crater with a huge, billowing plume of sulphur

Just watched the finish of today’s stage of the Tour de France, in the town of Gap. This time not too much climbing, a few in the 1,000 metres and one in the 2,000 metres range. Today the fellows had to cope however with Africa-like temperatures at least 36 degrees C. All that heat was making the tar on the roadways soft, creating a hazard for the riders.

Tomorrow, July 14, is “Quartorze de Juillet” in France. Les francaises celebrate Bastille Day. You can be sure to see many tricoloured banners and flags along the Tour de France stage to Gap.

All thanks to the amazing Paul who resides in an aquarium at Oberhausen, Germany. See my posts below for more details about his exceptional record of predicting the match outcomes.
