In November of 2024, I will be taking footage of the trip from Kemah T.X. to Marathon F.L.
Playing Chicken with Hurricane Sarah. A Solo Sea trial on a 1976 Cape Dory 25.
On this day I motor sailed from Kemah to the Gulf using less than one gallon of gas. It was nice to see dolphins again. I've been living on land, or at marinas for the last two years so after two nights sleeping on the hook in very rough seas I was already shagged, before I got to the Gulf of Mexico.

Since the year 1900 only three named hurricanes have hit America during November and they all hit FL. So I thought I was safe to leave Texas, but of course now there is Hurricane Rafael headed strait for me according to todays spaghetti model. Is thi...

It's the year 2020. Sonja and I are in the Atlantic Ocean headed to Hilton Head Island. I didn't know my camera was recording as we have our first argument. Afterwards she claimed that I had put her life in danger at this moment, as there was a cargo ship approaching from about 700 yards away, as you can see. The Other sailboat in this video was "Gran Crue," Captained by Tod Williams.
