What Survives!

The Twisted Trees are lone survivors out here. Do they ever rot, someday maybe. They are fascinating the way they get twisted up from the wind.

The Seclusion

We found some!!! Seclusion that is. So far my experience in the Canyonlands has been different than I expected. The vastness, the beauty, that's all been inline with what I thought but I was expecting to be off more in the wilderness, away from the people. Even though the park is pretty unknown in the [...]

The Hoodoos

The majority of the Needles area of the park is covered in rock formations called the Hoodoos, An overview here shows these mushroom looking structures. The needles are condensed in one dense section but the Hoodoos sprawl out to cover the rest of the Needles section of the park.

Marinas And More Marinas

23 September 2017 | Porto, Portugal

Boat life over on this coast has lent itself much more to landlubber stuff than to water life. Life isn't revolving around the sun and the beach, its more about cities and land life in general. The cruising life still remains a very interesting way to see the world. The beauty of being able to pick up anchor and travel to the next place, taking your home with you is pretty unique. Doug has done a few work assignments which bring cause for us to be in marinas but also make it affordable to be in marinas. We have never been marina people before but this has been part of the land based experience over here as well. Some places like Porto offer no opportunity to anchor. Being in marinas is very different, easier definitely in some regards, no managing power or water use, no monitoring wind conditions for anchor holding or rowing to shore. Its very much like living on land. It can create a feeling of being trapped though sometimes. Anchoring out brings the beauty of the water all around, a sense of freedom, independence, dinners in the cockpit at sunset, jumping off the boat to take a swim, these things I miss.
