Team Zissou!


It's that awesome time of year again. Here's my Halloween costume- just needed a 24ft. racing sail yacht for the perfect accessory.

On a very, very sad note, here is just one tragic story of what is sure to be hundreds more from Sandy. I chose this one because of its classic, nautical theme.

One-Hundred-One!

This is my 101st post! The first pic here is of a swollen Colorado River at Little Webberville Park. The trip from here to Big Webberville Park is about 5.5 miles by river. It's a nice quick trip, and a calm section of the river (even when the water level is up). We have a cool wet winter predicted, and I'm hoping it bodes well for next year's Texas Water Safari! Although the rain recently was good, it wasn't a Charleston kind of rain (see pic 2). I've been to that market before and can assure you that it is NOT usually kayakable.
