Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #551 – October 05, 2019, 12:39:44 pm The cell phone is certainly convenient for shooting photos and not carrying heavy DSLR bodies and glass. On the other hand, the shutter lag time is frustrating and the image stabilization and general sharpness can't compare to the DSLR. I carry both.My five-year-old grandson made his first channel crossing with us last week. We experienced small craft advisory conditions with 4 - 5 foot breaking seas, lots of rolling and heavy spray completely over the wheelhouse for a few hours of the six hour crossing. We convinced him that he might be more comfortable on the helm floor. The new puppy decided that he looked pretty comfortable, snuggled up close, and they both slept through the roughest section. Neither barfed, which was a nice blessing.In this cell phone shot, everything is moving with the low frequency, high amplitude rolling boat and the high frequency, low amplitude vibrations of the diesel and running gear. Perhaps the combination confuses the cell phone IS? The cell phone was handy to capture the moment, but the image isn't up to photographic standards. 4 Likes

Which channel did you cross?Chris

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #555 – October 05, 2019, 11:24:26 pm Chris,We live in southern California and make regular trips from either San Diego or Dana Point to San Clemente Island and Santa Catalina. We have a small (34 foot) single screw diesel tug/trawler with a displacement hull that makes about 7 - 8kn. most of the time. San Diego to Catalina west end is our longest crossing at 81 nautical miles (11hours) and Dana Point to the west end is the shortest at 42nm. Although the tug is slow and rolls, it has made the inside passage from Washington to Sitka numerous times, crossed the Columbia River bar several times, and one long passage from Glacier Bay Alaska to San Diego.When things get rough and uncomfortable, I remind my family that the boat is made for crappy conditions and it is uncomfortable for us , but not dangerous. My children and dogs (and one cat) have been on boats with us for decades. Now the grand kids are aboard and they love it.When my son finished graduate school, he spent his last $3000 on an ancient, dilapidated POS sailboat and left for 18 months, ending up in the Sea of Cortez, living on $3/day. It is in their blood.My 5 year old grandson likes to say "A boy needs a boat and a dog. I've got the dog."Harold 5 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #556 – October 06, 2019, 12:08:09 am Here is my wife, daughter, SIL, 2 grandkids, and the two new puppies, all stuffed into our little boat. The puppies are six months old, 70lb each, and are growing at 2 1/2 lb. a week. Lots of energy and no brains. The vet says to expect 85 to 105 lb. each. When in the cockpit, they have to be tied or they jump into the ocean to swim and play. Cyndy and I then have to deal with soaking wet, enthusiastic puppies on the boat. The boat is getting smaller by the week. My other two kids and their big dogs were with us on the previous trip, the week before.Grandson made the crossing with us and stayed on the boat at anchor for two days before his parents and sister arrived. At five years old, he was quite happy to fish, swim, snorkel, and play on the beach with the puppies from one end of the day to the other. Me too. We put the kids up in a hotel on the island, mostly for my sanity. We kept the puppies with us on the boat. My grandson cried and told his mom and dad "I don't want to go to the hotel. I want to stay on the boat with Nana and Poppa!" Their family has my old Lance camper and we camp together when the weather gets colder at the islands. Now my daughter is jonesing for a Lazy Daze. We are passing our lifestyle/recreational afflictions on to the next generation. 5 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #558 – October 06, 2019, 12:32:14 am No picture= It never happened.Here is my son and his puppy departing San Diego on a calm morning for what ended up being 18 months at sea. 1978 Catalina 27 that leaked so badly that every night it filled with water to the cabin sole. The bilge pump died mid trip and he had to pump the boat out with a "suck/squirt" every morning. The radio didn't work. He had no way to get weather reports, other than asking other cruisers. He made it through two Mexican hurricanes, one grounding, numerous dragged anchors, loneliness, broken ribs from surfing the Pacific coast of Baja, lost his engine in the first several months and had to sail EVERYWHERE, traded fish and lobster he caught with other cruisers for supplies he needed, and recognized when the trip was over, traded off the boat, and returned to the States.As he sailed down the channel, my wife and I both cried because we really didn't think we would ever see him again. We had to let him go. He left a cocky, arrogant millennial, and returned a calm, capable, thoughtful young adult. 5 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #559 – October 06, 2019, 02:35:32 am Harold,It’s amazing what a life experience will do to enlighten a person. When I was a teen in junior high, I was bullied by a neighborhood thug of sorts. His little gang of Junior Thugs used to chase my buddy and me after school. Never caught us.A few years after High School the Senior Thug cornered me down the street from my house. Shocked as heck when he extended his hand and apologized for his bad behavior. “I learned a lot in the Army and now have kids of my own”, he said. I shook his hand and hoped never to see him again. I haven’t. Glad your son is safely back home. Kent 3 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #569 – November 06, 2019, 07:08:17 pm Nope, it is a 2000 Harley Fat Boy that will turn 20 years old the first week of Dec. My brother has about 77,000 mi. (Yes that is five digits with no tenths, it is no garage queen). It looks better close up. He has changed the cam, carbs, done some head work, added headers, changed the saddle, and done the periodic maintenance. It has been very reliable.

Well, it was a pretty good guess for just having the back tire to determine!! Love fat boys!! Before K9 I was in Special Ops (horse, motor and marine). My assigned motor was no garage queen either, LOL!! (4 years old, 2 as a trainer). The siren was not electric, it was activated using the rotation of the rear wheel, via a foot pedal. Below 30mph you had no siren.(pix= guess the year, far left in the back, white horse) 2 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #571 – November 10, 2019, 12:41:56 am We have spent the last two and a half weeks in the Lazy Daze exploring the northern California and southern Oregon coast and across into the Trinity Alps. Fall travel has the possibility of inclement weather, but we lucked out once we escaped the fire difficulties and the weather was wonderful. Exploring and hiking on weekdays provided quiet trails and solitude in the forests. As always, the redwood forest was sublime; even more so with near complete silence and no other visitors.We are now beginning to mosey back toward home.Harold 14 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #572 – November 10, 2019, 12:53:23 am Cyndy spends months hunting for the best places to camp. This scene was directly behind the Lazy Daze for our three day stay. I would wake, make a cup of coffee and go out and watch the kingfisher catch little fish. Being fall, there were no biting insects, but the temperatures were near freezing in the early morning. Cyndy sat in the bed and watched the scene out of the window with the furnace keeping her toasty. Harold 12 Likes
