This summer Michelle and I have seen some spectacular sunrises and sunsets and I’ve been wanting to take a time lapse with my new Nikon D7200, but I just haven’t been able to pull it off. When the conditions were right, I had other commitments, or couldn’t get set up for the right shot. I…
Though we met and dated briefly while living in Houston Texas, Michelle and I agree that our life together began in Annapolis Maryland way back in 1986. I was managing the Annapolis office of Backyard Boats and when Michelle moved up from Texas, she took a job working for a bank in downtown Annapolis. We…
We arrived in Bermuda on May 25th. I fell in love on May 26th and the love affair continues. With no AC racing going on this week, we’ve been spending quite a bit of time ashore. Everywhere you look are lush gardens full of beautiful flowers and plants. Here’s a quick view of some of…
Looking back through my recent posts, it looks like there isn’t anything going on, but the America’s Cup Races. We’re spending a lot of time watching the races and Armchair Quarterbacking the performances, but we still have plenty of time to sit back and enjoy the beauty of Bermuda. We’ve witnessed some spectacular sunsets and…
We’ve been having a blast watching the Louis Vuitton qualifying races here in wonderful Bermuda. We watched the opening day races from the America’s Cup Village, which was quite an experience, but expensive, hot, and a challenge to get to. Since then, we’ve been part of the “Spectator Fleet” aboard ROAM. Since the races start at…
With winds at 20-25 knots and rain, the America’s Cup Semi-Final races were held today in the Great Sound on Bermuda. It was both exciting and horrifying as the weather took its toll on the boats. Not a single boat made it off the race course without damage and Team New Zealand pitch-polled at the…
Words aren’t necessary…
Being here to watch the America’s Cup qualifying races in person is everything that I dreamed that it would be. I can’t believe we’re actually here!!! I took over 750 pictures yesterday with my new Nikon camera and 500mm lens. Most of the pictures really sucked, but here a few that I think are OK….
I can’t believe it’s finally here. We’ve been planning this trip for so long, it felt like it would never get here and yesterday we watched Day 1 of the Louis Vuitton qualifying races. We watched the races from the America’s Cup Village rather than aboard Roam – a good call because we were fully…
We had a fantastic time rambling around in the Abacos in December and January. I didn’t spend much time blogging, mainly because it’s an area that Michelle and I had spent quite a bit of time in over the years on our former Manta 40 sailing catamaran “Double Wide.” That being said, we did get…
