Thought you all would enjoy a photo of Schooner Mahdee anchored in Columbia Cove on the south side of the Brooks Peninsula, on the west coast of Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. No, we’re not there now but I just ran across the pic and thought I’d share it here.
We have huge numbers of photos and videos. Typically we just store them and do not do a thing with them. Today, I was replying to a question in a sailing group and I wanted to find a photo of a particular thing: our round fender in use as a stern anchor rode marker or crab pot marker. This photo would be useful to my reply. While in search, I found the funniest non-action video: David and I standing on deck watching a tree float by the boat while anchored bow and stern and tied to the side of Georgiana Slough.
At the time, we were concerned that the large log–actually it was a tree–would puncture the inflatable Tinker Traveler dingy. It missed. Then we became sure that it would foul on the anchor marker fender. It did, temporarily, but then continued floating on down stream. While caught, David conjectured that it might come back and ram us — always looking for the potential excitement. The beginning of a slow October day in the Delta captured on video. I wonder what else we have in the terabytes of image and video files?

Sometimes we do time lapse videos using the GoPro camera. We set it up on the boom gallows where it gets to take a shot every few minutes … until the battery dies or we remember to turn it off for the day. I decided to post these videos from time to time. Here’s a a look at one. This is one of our day as we are going from Sandy Beach to Wachusett in Glacier Bay National Park. Six hours in 28 seconds.
