"BLISS" Shakedown Cruise
Back in the fall, temptation got the best of me. Up the road from my house was this sweet little catboat for sale. Those who know me well, know that I have a catboat fetish... I just love the lines and the tradition of catboating in New England. This one was 15 feet with a black hull and white topsides... very striking to my eye. Even more tempting was that we could afford her. The only downside was that she was fiberglass. This was a tough pill to swallow for one who has a affection for wooden boats. Regardless, "BLISS" still has strong traditional looks and people often mistake her for wood. Anyway... we bought her knowing that we would need to put a little time and money into her before she was ready to sail. (more)
Mondanock 2007
Erick and I made a daytrip up to Jaffery, NH to climb Monadnock. The conditions were icy and required crampons, but we were able to make it to the summit. Temperature-wise, it was reasonably comfortable except at the summit where the wind was bone-chilling required hiding behind boulders for shelter. (more)
The Blueberry Muffin Challenge
Seeing that yesterday was my cheat day (yes... another New Years diet) and I needed a good excuse to eat badly, I came up with the idea for the "Blueberry Muffin Challenge". The idea being that I would ride a 26 mile loop through Marshfield, Duxbury, and Kingston, visiting all the local bakeries and sampling their blueberry muffins. (more)
Drifting Down the Saco
Growing up, my family (including Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins) would often take a long weekend in the summer and run our canoes, packed with camping gear, down the Saco from Fryeburg, ME. It was always a relaxed affair, as the distance covered in 3-4 days probably could have been completed in a day if one was inclined to do so. However, this particular excursion was always less about the paddling and more about enjoying the River.. (more)

On summer vacation 2007 me and my dad climed a tall mountain. We climed to a cotige called Mizpha Springs. It was so amazing up there. (more)
