Bonaire's Best - Snorkeling in Lac Bay 7/6/2016

Our third annual trip to Bonaire in the Netherland Antilles off the coast of Venezuela. Our fun little group of 7 was there to windsurf, but "when in Rome".... I just had to get underwater. Bonaire is the premier dive destination for the Caribbean Islands. Although quite a bit of damage has been done to the shallow water snorkeling, it can still be found in Lac Bay. Which, coincidentally is where we sail. This clip is a rather looong taste of the island, from above and below.

The Duck Blind - My home away from home 4/26/2016

Just a quick clip on a sweet SW day on the OBX. What's not to love?

The White Whale Tour continues... 4/24/2016

New roomies for the third week in Cape Hatteras... Chris and Dave. Old friends (and I do mean old..) were treated to great conditions on Pamlico Sound, Avon, NC. Chris is celebrating his retirement by checking off items on a bucket list while wearing his "white Whale" t-shirt. The whale has some significance, but it's rather complex/personal, so accept that he is having a blast... while we slave on for a few more years. :-)

Beautiful Sound - Windsurfing the OBX 4/14/2016

On a perfect day in mid April, friends and fellow windjunkies, invited me to join them at their amazing location in Avon, NC. We were treated to terrific winds, good food and great company. Many new faces and a chance to film them at play. Such a nice day... one for the ages! Here is a taste of what Cape Hatteras has to offer:

Sugarbush and the Birch Tree 3/7/2016

We spent a wonderful weekend (in March), celebrating my birthday at the Sugarbush Resort in VT. Family and friends sharing time, food, drink, and winter activities on the mountain... perfect. Perfect that is until the last run. It's always the "last run" when you get hurt! Very icy conditions and a newly roped off trail led to a sudden direction change with no traction. It was then that I met "the birch". My phone took the bullet for me saving ribs on my left side, but the damage to the right was unavoidable. Also rupturing a tendon in my bicept... live and learn. Still a fun weekend for all.
