45 mile sea paddle tour around Vinalhaven, ME. Attachment 187309
Good stuff Ticket! Was just up there for 5 days in early July, incredibly beautiful place.
Yeah, guards were gone but the cops were out throughout the daylight hours. Watched a couple of surfers get escorted off the beach...Quote:

Max efficiency is two lanes of traffic up to the merge, right? I was under the impression that was codified tgr law and behaved thusly.
So I'm cruising along, passing all the stop and go, for almost the whole length...seeing some quality accelerations from fools making sure they close their gap before I would be able to slip in, but I've got over a quarter mile to go, we're not shutting down this party yet.
Suddenly some traffic vigilante in a white Sentra decides he's shutting it down and starts to get all herky jerky into my lane. By this time I've got a line of people following me and am 1/8 mile from the cones so after fucking around with him a few seconds, acting like I'm ready to get in the weeds to get around him, I get over into the left lane, he moves back and a few cars cruise right past and merge in smoothly by the cones as I watch the guy loose his shit through the back window.

I think in this area (maybe Jersey in general but I don't know) they basically fruck out after Sandy. The town where I was was pretty much ground zero for all the Jersey Shore destruction pix you saw back then.Quote:

It was rough as shit out there, so I don't blame them. Not really surfable either, unless you like bailing immediately after the bottom turn. .

I've never been much of a rock climber but have kinda been getting into these alpine traverses recently. That particular part of the Indian Peaks looks more like California than most parts of North Central CO. Plus, I can see it out my home office window so I figure I should stand on the top of it at some point. Here is another scramble up that I only have to drive on pavement for about 2 minutes to get to.

We had a pretty good stretch on the Clark Fork when we got 5 nice +16" rainbows on dries. Another:Quote:

It a 6 degrees of separation fingerbang! I'm sure that's not far from the truth at all.Quote:

Any time brother. That's funny, had a bartender from the old SBLodge in the boat. Camped out with a beer. A few splashes and she came to life.Quote:

Then the alcohol caught up to me... the 6y/o got bored and started hopping in the cart and driving around when we got out to play. Luckily we were in bumfuck NY and no one else was on the course.
Sunday got out to do some fishing in the morning but could only coerce some small smallies.

Got over my fear of waterskiing. More tiring than I'd thought!
Almost made it out of the weekend unscathed..

Calcot Manor. Beautiful area, food was mediocre, but it was the UK after all.
