She’s comin’ in hard, boys, she’s comin’ in hard here in the northeast of the old US of A today. I felt obliged to tie in a second reef to get across the back yard. Be safe out there!

 Posted on January 3rd, 2010 Posted on December 26th, 2009We have just finished, after much delay, the import of all the comments from the old version of Chine bLog into the new one. A lot of busy work, but we think it is well worth it. Our readers have contributed some great insight over the years and added greatly to what we are doing. Thank you so much for stopping by, reading Chine bLog, and, as you have been moved, leaving your own thoughts and opinions. Here’s to fair winds and following seas to all in 2010! Posted on September 30th, 2009After several months of experiment during which no amount of any identifiable currency came aboard, we are scuttling the ads on Chine bLog. We always hated the way they looked but figured that if a few bucks came our way it might be worthwhile. Well, that’s why we didn’t quit our day jobs first… If you like Chine bLog and feel like supporting us, please make a donation to Autism Speaks or your local maritime museum in our name and we’ll call it done. Posted on May 14th, 2008Every so often I get to post off topic stuff; that why I have a “Random Stuff” category. Here is a little video that, if you haven’t seen it, is must see. It has nothing to do with boats (unless you note the not-too subtle message that kayaking in South African waterholes might be a bad career move) and everything to do with nature in its raw, unadulterated glory. Enjoy! Posted on March 19th, 2008And then one day you sit down at your computer and realize that you haven’t blogged in a month. Tough spell at work and on the home front; to my loyal readers, thanks for staying with me. Getting back with the program here… Posted on January 22nd, 2008My in-laws are on Long Island (New York) and we went there for Christmas this year. As we always do, we headed down to Jones Beach, which is a treat in the off-season (and a mass of humanity during the warmer months). There was a brisk Northwest wind and high, thin clouds, all making for a lovely day at the beach (the way I like it, anyway). Among the cool aspects of Jones is its sand – it has a lot of garnet, I believe, which settles into wind-blown formations that are really stunning. Enjoy! Category: 9. Random stuff |

 Leave a comment |  Trackback this Post Posted on April 16th, 2007Here in DC we have mostly been spared the worst of a bad nor’easter up in my home waters of New England. Sounds like it was a pretty crazy storm, up there with some other greats. Some good info on it, for those interested:
Sounds like a good idea, gang! Those wacky weather dudes… Anyway, we here at Chine bLog are big on having a healthy respect for nature, and this is one of those days that reminds you why. Out on the water? I believe the posts above will tell you the wind hit 70 kts. at Matinicus Rock off Maine and a buoy in the Gulf of Maine was clocking 29′ seas. Hmm – might be worth tying in a reef… Posted on December 10th, 2006So it seems some VERY eclectic and soemwhat off-color blog in Hungary picked up my site, specifically the post on my sister’s postcard from Vietnam. I can’t quite figure out why or what was said about it – my Magyar is little rusty. ;^) Anyway, if the relatively many of you who came by from there enjoy the site and come back, welcome! Posted on November 3rd, 2006This is only semi-relevant to usual matter of this blog, but there is an unusual storm off the coat of Oregon right now. Jeff Masters with Weather Underground has a blog post about it with the hilarious title: “Thingamabobbercane forms off the coast of Oregon”. By the way, if you like or respect weather and don’t read Masters’ blog, you are totally insane or live off the grid. It is utterly brilliant. Posted on September 9th, 2006Been a busy Summer with a nice, long vacation. Lots to talk about, stay tuned… |
