Safe and sound in South Portland Maine. Tied to the dock for the next three weeks. Figured we’re settled enough for a glass of wine and a rest.
It was just a couple hours from Cliff Island to the marina. Then a pump out and we moved to our slip. The pump out was import…
I am less than thrilled with the weather. Looking forward to our marina stay so we can get some boat work as well.
Everyone’s favorite marine headache isn’t working well and needs some rework or replacement. That’s right the head is not working properly. Going to be a c…
Glad to be back in Maine for the summer. We’re chilling (quite literally) at Cliff Island for the week and will then be spending three weeks at our usual South Portland marina for Liam’s HS graduation in Portland, and to finally install the windlass that’s been sitting at t…
Just got visited by a big pod of whales. They came super close. After the shock passes I remembered I had a camera. These shots don’t do it justice. One of them got close enough for us to touch him.

Big project of procrastination is working on accessibility in blackboard classes I didn’t make. Yea let’s go fix your 12 PowerPoint presentations. It’s important, and easy, just tedious after the first three. #professorlife#academiclife#academicproblems#instructionaldesign

@ejmill99 this is where the water dock is in Newport. It’s almost always open and available. With luck they turn it on soon, we’re super early so lots of stuff is still closed.
Oh my… the woman’s sailing team just sailed super close … and I think that … if these boys ever move off the boat .. and if I ever meat a woman who has her captain’s license I might actually go out on a date. But … that seems unrealistic.
