A fail in the realm of aurora borealis, but nonetheless beautiful. #SaintHelensOregon #MightyColumbiaRiver

Commercial crabbers working under #AuroraBorealis off the #NorthOregonCoast, #GraveyardOfThePacific with the #Shipwreck of #PeterIredale on the beach, in the foreground. Click on the link to see many other photos of #PeterIredale, including a few of mine.

Despite all the diesel engines I’ve owned over the years, I’ve never had to bleed one, outside of a classroom environment. Soon after purchasing #svEyrie, I got to work, cleaning, re-wiring, re-plumbing, and re-painting the #Perkins4108. Last time it ran, it stalled and died, prompting attention.

This time of year, one seizes the moment, often between rain drops. #Sunset #SandIsland #SaintHelensOregon #MightyColumbia #LowMaintenanceYard

Big sky day on the muddy floodwaters of the #MightyColumbiaRiver at #SaintHelensOregon.

I awoke the other day and… that’s not my #cat.

Given the failures of the US justice system as we increasingly slide into fascism, the Democratic Party should independently consult with the International Criminal Court on matters of human rights abuse perpetrated by Trump and his sycophants.

More #tropical #tree #tunnels on single-lane roads outside of #Pahoa in the #PunaDistrict. #BigIsland #Hawaii

Take a drive with me through #tropical tree tunnels. This is the scenic drive on the way to the #HawaiiTropicalBioreserveAndGarden, just north of #Hilo. #BigIsland #Hawai’i

We often found ourselves sharing the water with solo #OutriggerCanoes. It’s all part of my #SerendipitousPath.

We ventured into
#HiloBay, past the breakwater, and into the long #Pacific swell. Conditions were so good that we contemplated continuing along the #HāmākuaCoast to #HawiHawai’i. While we had enough water and snack, we lacked a radio and nav lights, so we contented ourselves with the local sunset.

A quick look around #HiloInnerHarbor revealed three #MarieholmInternationalFolkboats, diminutive, but capable, and among my most favorite boats. I introduced myself to a gentleman aboard one of them, and he asked if I’d like to join him for a #sail. Well, of course.
