Spencer Tunick photo. Barcelona, Spain

[Barcelona, Spain 2003]

The above picture used to the document the world record number of nude people in one place at one time (7000). Cheyenne and I are on the left just below the break in landscaping. I was just randomly surfing this morning and came across a news item about how Spencer Tunick has out done himself in Mexico City by assembling 18000 nudes! You can find a good photo gallery of the event on USA Today.

Aransas Bay, Texas

Every year the Bahia Marina in Ingleside Texas puts on a party called the Bahia Hee Hee and invites boaters from all over to sail in and participate. There is a pot luck dinner and live music. I used to work here back in high school when Thomas Greisen had his sail loft, so the suroundings and many faces looked familiar. I even remember the band, although I think some of the members have changed. I recommend stopping if you’re cruising through.

We sailed over with Bill on Wing and a Prayer. At times the breeze was fresh enough to really get moving. In the video we’re making around 15kts!

These flash videos don’t seem to be working with Internet Explorer. They work fine with firefox so use that until I get the problems ironed out. I think WordPress is mangling the script when I submit the posts.


Milk Flower

I call this “milk flower” only because it oozes a white sticky substance all over you if you attempt to break off a bunch of these. It’s better to just look without touching.
