Past and present

I’m a list maker. I’ve found that the best way to keep focused is to make a list of what I need to do. I’m less likely to be distracted by pretty, shiny objects or to chase my tail down the rabbit-hole of the internet if I have a clear list of stuff that I […]

Old Faithful

I got my first SUP in August of 2008. It was a demo board, scratched when I bought it, but in reasonably good shape. I rode it almost every day for the first year or so, to the point that it became an extension of my feet, allowing me to walk on water. I rode […]

A Plug

We got back from San Francisco on Sunday night. It wasn’t exactly “hot” in the Bay area, but it was warmer than the Pacific Northwest. More importantly, it was sunny and the blue of the sky was so clean it hurt my eyes. I see why people love it there. The symposium was good. Not […]

This story ran in a couple peninsula newspapers this past week. The quotes are mostly right, not too much taken out of context – and that’s about all you can hope for.

Live!

Today’s the day the Kickstarter campaign starts. Over the next 60 days, we will be trying to raise the money we need to produce the film, The Secrets of Augustine. We’ll be shaking out our couch cushions and, by using the crowd-sourcing method, we’ll be asking everyone we know (and many we don’t) to do […]

The next chapter

The sky is getting light a few minutes earlier now. Not too much earlier, but it is noticeable. The biting cold of last week has turned into a simple chill, not exactly warm, but a long way from icy. The seasons are changing as they usually do, in measured step, slowly and quietly. My writing […]

The fishwrap

The showing in Port Townsend went well the other night… 132 people came out and the level of discourse among the attendees was refreshing. I think that, for me, the most frustrating thing about the issue of marine debris to this point has been the inability of some people I’ve come across to accept that […]

Nothing to see here

There are huge brush fires in Australia. Massive. The drought in the midwest is so bad that barges are going to be pulled off the Mississippi soon, for how long is anyone’s guess. It snowed in San Diego today. Last year was the hottest year on record in the United States. Glaciers are flowing backwards, […]

More words

It would be difficult to overstate the level of media coverage that the Ikkatsu Project has received since we started out. I don’t know if it’s the fact that we are using kayaks to access the remote areas in search of marine debris, or if it’s just that a lot of people (including us) were […]

Two more weeks

We have a showing in Port Townsend next week, which we’re both very excited about… I really like Port Townsend. It’s going to be a quick out-and-back though, not much time for dilly-dally. Which is ok too, I guess. Two weeks from today, however, we’re getting on the silver bird and flying to San Francisco […]
