Sailing my 15' West Wight Potter sailboat on the ocean is one of my greatest passions. Hiking & camping in the national parks is also a favorite way to spend the day.
A juvenile great white shark that followed us recently off Oceanside CA; estimated to be 7' long. It swam up to the rudder and left. They seem attracted to the rudder.

I love riding the Sprinter train that runs between Escondiod & Oceanside. I took this picture recently from the train. There were other views that were even more spectacular but glare from lights and windows prevented a photo.

A little rough yesterday off Oceanside CA searching for whales. Over 8 hours on the water but didn't see any:( Some great sailing though.

One of the joys of sailing is seeing dolphins up close. Really close in a 15' boat. There were hundreds of dolphins around me recently for about 90 minutes. They were moving fast, but I got some decent photos with the shutter set at 1/1,000.

A double rainbow seen last year in Yellowstone National Park.

I love living in California. Some people here are hostile to LGBTQ people, but I think most CA people are fine with us. The people against us make more noise; today strangers struck up pleasant conversations with me while waiting at the DMV. It is a nice reminder that all is not lost.

There is a beautiful world out there; stay informed, but disconnect on a regular basis and enjoy nature.

There is another world out on the ocean; it is a nice place to escape the current maddness.

I went sailing to look for whales near Oceanside CA, but it was pretty rough so I took down the sail and drifted over 3NM out. No whales but lots of dolphins & birds feeding. Beautiful moon over the beach before I launched.

One of my favorite dolphin videos taken while sailing my West Wight Potter sailboat in 2016. The wind noise is annoying, but love seeing the dolphins right next to the boat.

Trying to get back to Oceanside harbor before bad weather; the winds never got that bad, but a fog bank beat me to the harbor so I came in using GPS.

I love it when a hawk hangs out in our yard. This is a Red-shouldered hawk seen in our yard.
