An original poem looking at the choices we make and how they affect us over time. That each led to the next and any change would have left us somewhere else. #writingcommunity #poetry https://t.co/8GZwO7Sdfy

@elonmusk 50% of Twitter's advertisers no longer buying ads....

How's that working out for you?

It's been fun, but time to move on.

"The fact is, I don't know where my ideas come from. Nor does any writer. The only real answer is to drink way too much coffee and buy yourself a desk that doesn't collapse when you beat your head against it." ~ Douglas Adams #writing #quote

Responsiveness is an understatement. Even with no hull speed, the #PetrelPlay will edge and spin at your hips with complete confidence. At speed, it will spin 180° with only a bow/cross bow rudder or low (high) brace turn. https://t.co/JEcsaC8UwI

As I rounded Point Migley, headwinds gave way to stern quartering seas. Those 4 and 5 foot waves were now white-capped and over my right shoulder. #seakayaking https://t.co/3VwdMnpV5C

If well punctuated, your writing will flow with cadence and rhythm. It will take the reader along effortlessly. It will sing. A guest post on #writing by @ErikaVanvick: https://t.co/QWRweyV1er

While #politcial leaning, the poem is a commentary on people and a focus on self over community, even when their lives and livelihood require that community. #writingcommunity #poetry https://t.co/mU0wjofanb

Our intended route had a 2.5 nm open water crossing from Polnell Point to Forbes Point. That crossing would be in beam seas battling gusts sustained over 20 knots and gusting to 25+. #seakayaking https://t.co/H9Cin2oOwK

Why do you need to know the tidal height/range for a planning or leading a #seakayak trip? Can you safely launch.... And more importantly, can you land? https://t.co/jI6xE3ISxu

All in all, it was a pretty perfect morning on the water, even if there is no fame or fortune. And I can cross professional model off the list of things I have done and never intended to do. with @nrsweb #kayak #photshoot https://t.co/RbOcric5eK

As I start of my day
The only sounds
The sea as it meets the shore
Gulls calling
Above the protected bay.... https://t.co/RMJkfCrOo4 #poetry

The #PetrelPlay does everything that’s asked of it. It responds precisely to paddler input. The novice to intermediate paddler will feel confident. The experienced paddler can make it dance. This is a paddler’s #seakayak. https://t.co/JEcsaBRjFa

Writing is an art form. A good writer can tell a story in multiple mediums, regardless of the nature of the content. ~ Robert Nissenbaum https://t.co/WTGU7Yiuf7 #writerslife

This exercise was much needed, both for SBSAR and for ourselves. We practice assisted rescues with other paddlers regularly, but, as sea kayakers, we also need to know how to manage rescues when other crafts are involved. #SearchandRescue #seakayaking https://t.co/LLvLzDcjGj

There was now a very real scenario. We’re on the water off the Damon Point Natural Area. We’re in 3 knots of current looking out at 6-8 swells dumping on the beach in the distance. #IncidentManagement https://t.co/iaGJ29btrS

@CBalan010611 @GOP Didn't DeSantis illegally and cruelly fly immigrants to Martha's Vineyard?

Didn't Democrats step up and care for them?

If you want Biden #impeached for this, DeSantis should be too....oh...but he's a Republican. (like Trump who through kids in cages).
