I cant really say for sure what I
was thinking as I headed on
out into Wassaw Sound. I know
now a lot of things that I was
"not thinking". But that is hind
sight.
I was able to keep close
enough to see one river bank
all morning. I figured I would
just ease on out into the sound
and by the time I got out there
the fog would surely lift. The
first thing that went wrong was
the water got real shallow at
the edge of the river and I had
to get out to where I couldnt
see the bank. Knowing what I
know now I should have put
the anchors down right then.
But I didnt and the tide was
going out. Now I couldnt see
anything, in any direction. This
is where I started to panic. I
didnt really know what to do
next. Maintaining control I was
able to get a longitude and
latitude coordinate off my
chart for a bouy that I knew
was across the sound and not
way out to sea. Fumbling
around in an urgent state I was
able to find the page where I
thought that I needed to enter the coordinates into the GPS. It is only a small hand held, but at this point it was now my eyes.
Literally.
Finally I was able to get the
gps to "goto" the bouy. Not
knowing for sure that I was
actually goint twords the bouy
at this point I was literally
putting my safety in the hands
of technology. That wasnt an
easy feeling. After about 25
minutes the gps flashed a
message that i was
"approaching my mark". Sure
as heck, I looked up and there
was the green bouy. Feeling
much releif but still worried
because I could not see
anything but the bouy. I didnt
know which direction I should
turn. I decided to kill the
engine and try to get another
coordinat entered into the gps.
Only this time the chart didnt
have one pre-determined. I had
to actually try to figure the
degrees and minutes in the
crudest of ways.....like the
Mayflower pilgrims. Only I felt
a lot dumber that they must
have felt for sure.
As I rushed and fumbled I had
just let it slip my mind that the
tide as taking me out to sea. I
could hear waves crashing but
I thought that they were more
distant and didnt heed the
sounds. Suddenly I heard the
fuse (wooden dowel used as a
retaing pin to hold the rudder
down in the water) on the
rudder snap and then before I
could even rise to survey the
danger the boat slammed into
the beach, nearly slamming me
back into the cabin.
This is where all efforts
suddenly changed to tring to
get the boat back into deep
water. After about 30 minutes
or so of abusing the motor,
jumping in the water and trying
to physically push the
boat I gave up. At this point all
I could do was get my anchors
out and try to keep the boat
that was being slammed by
waves on the stern from being
tossed around. At least as
much as possible.
Now I was at the mercy of the
rise and fall of the tides. I was
stuck until the tide came back
in because it was going out.
And I could only hope that it
would rise enough to float the
boat where the keel would
come up out of the sand it was
stuck in. At this point it was
3:30 in the afternoon. I now
had lots of time on my hands.
The first thing I did was get out
of my wet clothes and got
warm. After consulting with
my mentor "Lamar" I realized
that it would be late in the
evening before I had any hope
of getting off the beach.
Trying to keep my spirits high,
as I have found is the best
thing to do in these screwed
up situations, I walked around
the beach and took photos and
videos of my poor boat.
Then after boring of that I
actually got out some "409"
and cleaned my boats hull in
some areas that I cant
normally reach. Then I made
some spam sandwiches and
waited on the laws of nature.
I was still worried about what I
was going to do when I did get
the boat off the beach if I did.
The fog was still just as bad as
when I started. I guess it was
about 7pm I noticed a red
flashing light that wasnt
moving and after consulting
the chart I realized that it was
a channel bouy in the direction
that I needed to go for safety.
So that was a relief to put it
mildly. I now had a plan.......if I
didnt screw that up!
Finally at about 8:30 pm I
managed to fight the boat off
the beach with the help of all
three anchors which I had put
out to hold the boat in place. I
worked my way to the red light
of the bouy and got the bouy
number and knew I was now
safe and out of immeadiate
danger. Then I spotted another
bouy flashing and at about
10:30 pm I had made it to a
point where I could get my
anchors down and was
holding at one of the red
flashing channel markes. I
took my chances and finally
layed down for a few hours of
sleep and waited for dawn.
At about 11:am the next
morning, just as quickly as the
deadly fog planted itself in
Wassaw Sound, it lifted and
was gone. Now it was pure
warm sunshine. What a great
site to see.
Breakfast that day consisted of
about 8 Icehouse beers, a
couple of shots of whiskey and
lots of deep sighs of relief.
By 2:00pm, I was drained and
warm and cozy in a deep sleep
inside my v-berth for a short nap. Another
near disaster averted.
I swear I have a guardian angel
watching over me. And after all
these years of knowing that I
still no not the reason why.

No eres la primera chica que pinta sus miedos en sus brazos con la esperanza de capturar todos los recuerdos que te persiguieron. Puedes coser tus labios con las cuerdas de tu corazón, porque no las necesitas para mantenerte de una pieza.
Pero no mires abajo porque, no sé, la caída es fatal desde esta altura. Nunca debería haberte llevado tan alto.
No eres la primera chica en dibujar sus miedos en sus brazos, y luego dejarlos gotear. Recuerdos pasados que se encharcan en tus manos.

petit comité El otro día fui con unas amigas al Peggy Sue's y hicimos varias fotos. Las iré subiendo poco a poco, son todas de estilo retro/pin-up...
This is one of those rare instances when you suspect the Photography Gods actually like you. Heather and I attended a vintage sale at the Bishop's House, a classy Victorian house in Boise. The flyer mentioned there were going to be some classic cars and pin-up models so we decided to check it out. Good decision.
The weather was blustery - cold, windy, heavy, overcast - it looked like it was going to rain at any time. Only one car showed up. It was owned by a very cool guy named Lloyd; he didn't mind us checking out the car, even encouraging us to sit in it. He also had a 1920's style (air) gun in the front seat. A few minutes later we bumped into a lovely lass with blue hair and a great outfit. We found out she is Eleanor P., a professional pin-up model.
We asked Eleanor to shoot with us near the car; she lowered her standards and shot with me, with Heather helping her pose and Lloyd also coming up with ideas. What a great mini-shoot! Totally unplanned and I wouldn't have changed any of it. Well maybe not so cold - Eleanor was turning blue by the end of the shoot.
I took these photo in mid-May 2015.
