At anchor at this very moment in the 1000 Islands National Park aboard our tiny sailboat… an exercise in minimalism and a great way to learn techniques on how to get along better with your spouse

The border runs through the middle of this VERY narrow channel.
A cottage on each side a stone throw away.
The longest undefended border between two great nations.

Time for lunch

Found a great place to go for swim and have supper

At anchor ️ and also tied up to a tree for good measure

Time for

And time to show off my totes and check in on the Porch

I was just about to hit “ Post reply” when I lifted my head and saw this
A reminder to keep connected to my surroundings and get off social media for today

Did a little look-see through the backwoods on this rainy weekend. Moose season is around the corner.

Great snaps!

What state are you in? Did you get a moose tag this year?

Looks like a great day out my friend.

Lots of fascinating history in that part of the world.

Thank you, friend.

Alaska is where I hang my hat. Moose tags are over the counter in my neck of the woods.

Living my dream, I was born too late to do diy and too late to afford the spike in guided hunts.
Do post up some photos if you get one this year, I’m a mad keen hunter in my part of the world and would love to see them

Will do, friend.

These two boys should have put a tad more headgear on since early June. With a bit of luck we meet again



My latest Randall 3-5 should work well

Fantastic shots !
The Viper Hug looks cool I had not seen one yet. A tip like a needle with a little bit of a belly. I like it !

Good luck on this year hunt !
I tried moose once. My then landlord had harvested one with his buddies and gave us ground meat.
We made hamburgers and really like them. Lean and good for you

Looks like a great day out my friend.

Gracias Jack
It's a gaucho knife or "cuchillo criollo"
The maker is maxipescie from Argentina.

We just got back from our little weekend adventure on the water.

My precious !

Yesterday we spent the hottest part of the day at a little beach after sailing in the morning

As we were getting ready to leave the beach I saw far in the distance what looked like a 18th century tall ship

I was very happy to find it later on at anchor for the night on the lee side of an island

Our "anchorage" for last night
A little shallow cove where only a small boat like Serena can get in

This morning the water look a beautiful green with the rising sun shining on algae and vegetation on the bottom

While having breakfast we saw a family a swans in the distance

Luckily they decided to get closer to check us out

Mom, Dad and the soon to fly away young ones.
As I watched them leave I reflected on our own family, raising our girls and the looming empty nest.

Today, on our way back to the boat launch with crossed paths again with the "Fair Jeanne"

As we were getting closer to our destination a couple of "empty nesters" swam by

The "Fair Jeanne" is beyond cool. Wow
Even has simulated cannon ports

CelloDan what does the Serena draw with the keel retracted?

CelloDan what does the Serena draw with the keel retracted?

Probably less than 6 inches
We pull her bow right up on the beach sometimes

That thar is a BRIGANTINE matey. Pretty cool encounter on an altogether splendid trip.

I returned from my 3-day boat/camping trip this afternoon. I’m exhausted, and both the Green Heron and I are a little banged up, but everything went pretty much as I had hoped, and the trip seems to have had its intended effect on my spirit.

I tried to stay as much as possible in the small, shallow channels that run between islands and the river bank through much of my trip.

I saw all manner of spectacular raptors and waterfowl, but the most enchanting part was drifting silently with the current while clouds of swallows swooped and wheeled all around me, sometimes within a couple of feet from my head.

Yes, it is true. I'm a bit envious. Not of your knives, or of your boat, although it is a thing capable of cultivating envy. I'm envious of your experience Tom. That's some sort of magnificent float-trip territory. Glad to hear all went well. And remember... "Those are memories, not scratches".

Sorry no knife content, but a few pictures of where I spent six days last week in Kings Canyon National Park. On the hazy side due to a forest fire, but we saw some incredible country. The first picture was taken from our campsite on the third night; frost on the tent and ice on the gear in the morning.

Gorgeous part of the world there my friend.

Thanks, Frank. It really is a blessing to have such a resource and refuge so close to my home. I can escape the nightmarish sprawling suburbs and be in peaceful surroundings with just a short drive, or even on my bike.
