Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

[sphelps]

Not my photo . Got it from my neighborhood FB page . The calm before the storm ..

This was my attempt from my golf cart . About 10 minutes earlier the sky was ablaze.. I just couldn’t get a good shot ..

Was that taken at dawn or sunset....red sky in morning....sailor take warning....the day that Sandy arrived, the sky was that same color red....
and when it the water rose, I had gone out and bought the last 2 gas cans in the hardware store. In this pic, it is 4 hrs before high tide, at when the tide came in at about 6pm the water was about 6 feet higher than it is in this pic, the houses in this spot all had water in them. Our house is at the top of a hill elevated by 80 feet above sea level so we were fine. Just now power for 2 weeks had some gas stored up but wound up siphoning gas out of the boat to keep the generator running!


we had very little damage other than downed trees, but the South Shore of Long Island had catastrophic damage.

facebook tells me 5 years ago i spent my last overnight on the Carver


The day was spent running around with stops to work (phone hotspot and inverter for laptop)

 

[redneck joe]

Then stopped at one of the two restaurants to grab food. I did fried shrimps with fries for dinner and a pepperoni pizza for breakfast. I love cold pizza.

This is the way to live....

I had a preferred cove to stay in, right around the corner from the marina ( good for morning poops). Not sure if you will be able to access this but just the sounds of sunset:

Then early the next morning after doing the deed at the marina, as a low fog hugged the water and the sun was about to top to ridge I put her on a slow plane and BLAM! Hit the 2x8 floating under the light fog. Don't think I would haves seen it even without the fog as it was dead calm and a 2x floating is hard so see without and wind/breeze to break up the ripples.

Oh well, new chapter of boating hopefully about to begin I'll either have to rig up a bed or do shore camping. What I do have is lots of good times in that one. Favorite boat I've ever owned and I've had 20.

My new camera, a Nikon can can use a new compression format to store the Raw files, making them about as small as a Highest Quality jpg file. However a lot of Image Editing Software can not uncompress the file to see the image. However the Software does display a kind of neat image of its own kind. It appears to have Zs in it, which is what the camera is. The Image was actually a very highly over exposed(completely white) image, I had left my Flash on Full Power Manual Mode, and was only a foot or two away from the subject. I was using a 20mm lens up very close

View attachment 370923Not a particularly great photo, but kinda' the best I could grab. I got to visit the H.L. Hunley over the weekend. Very cool place and neat to see a 150 submarine.

That's an amazing sub with such a deadly history its crazy the were able to find it in one piece!
