One on my favorite memories from crossing the Pacific in a 37' boat was the silence while sitting in the cockpit with my captain at night.

The joy of the prospect
Of a coffee with a friend.
Looking forward to talking
And
Looking forward to the silences Between the words.

Just me at the helm of our boat.

Returning from our four night anchorage.

Thanks @theboatgalley.com for the idea of an end of season squeezecation. We set some time aside in early November and watched the weather with great results.

Sound on for the video :)

Half way through our four day anchoring at China Camp.

So very nice.

I later worked my way through college working as a darkroom technician and sometimes photographer for a commercial photographer in SF. You can find samples of his work by searching for Orie Damewood. He had a studio in the Phelan building. 760 Market Street.

I don't recall meeting photographers, more likely editors. I do recognize some of the names you mention from photo credits in the paper. I was also in my early to mid teens ... a young guy.

Vertical length of sewer pipe filled with the chemicals. The developing film hung straight down in the solution. They let me develop my film there. If a photo sold I looked forward to seeing it in the paper and getting a check about a week later.

In the late sixties I was an aspiring photographer and would head out to a newsworthy event, take photos, and then head to some news office to pitch what I had. The Chronicle was one. I seem to recall their film developing thanks were unique.

Totally agree. We got both flu and covid shots last week.

Love you Pipa. You're always a bright spot in my day.

Another great Wednesday on the Bay with my grandson.

Our getaway cabin for a few days.

Small museum in front of a home.

Close up of mall museum in front of a home.

We erected a small museum in front of our home for this very reason.

A white label on white linen: “Take cafre of yourself Call your family Smile at a stranger Write to a friend Appreciate little things Eat good food Stay home. Stay safe Lots of love.” ~ Eternal for you

A gentle reminder:

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF
Call your family
Smile at a stranger
Write to a friend
Appreciate little things
Eat good food
Stay home. Stay safe
Lots of love... :-)}

GIVE THANKS.
It is worth giving thanks for the new day we have lived and let us have hope in the new day that will come.

Time for a new exhibit in our little museum. Artist in the background.

Your question brought tears to my eyes and reminded me of a song by Tom Waits. Here are the lyrics

Nice loop around SF Bay with an old friend.

We need some heart now, and always ...

Congrats on the move. (I'm sure there are weirdos in academia)

Third day at anchor ... So peaceful.

It's the equinox. The days fly when you're having fun. I'll have to work harder to catch the sun.

Second night at China Camp anchorage.
