Finally, In Like Flynn’s been splashed into Swan Creek In Rock Hall MD for the 2013 season. Still lots more work to do, but at least I have all the comforts and a great view from my cockpit.
Boat Drinks!
A big birthday shout to the amazing Robby Naish one of the first great pioneers of windsurfing and kitesailing, and still shredding at 50 years old!I had the good luck to meet Robby on two occasions, the first in Aruba 1991, and then again when he unexpectantly showed up at Backyards on North shore of Oahu to sail on a man made ramp. For the last decade I’ve been slacking in the windsurfing department due to time on the sailboat but re energized last summer and with Robby, and the Pritchard brothers still shredding I still have quite a few more years left. Many thanks for the years of inspiration!
Boat Drinks, Jimmy!

OK, so I’m late for posting this a year later. But the good news is, it’s just 12 days till Philly Green Dress Run 2013. This video was shot at the spur of the moment on a Nikon S95 that I use to take pictures with. My favorite Hash House Harriers song erupted so I switched to video mode.
Cheers to all that still visit this site!

Cold ass day again, heating oil is $3.75 a gallon. Keeping the house at 60 degrees F. Fired up the fireplace and the room gets even colder. All work and no play makes Jaic a dull boy. Get that Jack Craic reference? It’s a double IPA kind of day. Cheers!
Took a day trip for my mid winter boat trip yesterday. It was quite foggy on most of the mid Atlantic but a great chance to get out of Philly. Looks like another 6 weeks till I start spring work on the boat for a splash date of mid April. Graphics for the picture are from the iPhone app Tiny Post.
Many thanks to the Philadelphia Parks and Recreation for erecting the incredible stands at the judging area for the fans of the Mummers Parade. My friends and I have been going for the last 30 plus years and have to get there early for good seats in order to see the main attraction, the String Bands. Family members of the Ferko String Band also are annual visitors to these great seats. Another big thank you goes out to whom ever told the String Band judges to stay put and not walk in front of the tv cameras and our damn view! Peace out and Happy New Year!

For anyone that’s been to my boat I’ve usually steered guests away from going to Waterman’s, a nice big restaurant deck bar in Rock Hall Maryland. I describe it as a big cast from Hee Haw wedding. Lot’s of kids to grandparents dancing to the bands that perform. But given the harshness of the last week of winter I’ll never complain again. I wish I was back at Waterman’s with good friends!
I shot a fair amount of video that I’ll edit soon, but in the mean time I’m posting some pics of the day using an iOS app called Diptic.
