My friend Maureen shared this clip with me. I’ve seen people carrying little lap dogs around on motorcycles, but this is the real thing. Makes me wonder if Mic and I need a new ride.

Unconverted Cargo Trailer

Sadly it is time to move on from the converted cargo trailer that has been at times a boat house, an office, and a home. Since moving to Seattle there’s been no time to use it, and no space in which to keep it. Recognizing that this project has come to its end is no [...]
#VirginVolcanic sounds like a great adventure…. maybe

But I can’t help but notice the date. In a recent post I expressed excitement over the fact that technology is allowing us to go anywhere on the planet. But I was wrong. If you want to dive into a volcano, and really explore the magma below, you’ll need one of these. See Richard Branson’s [...]

Could this be the beginning of a new age of ocean exploration? This #DeepSeaChallenge is showing us that entrepreneurial spirits with a hunger to explore our oceans have the world at their disposal. We live in an age when the technology will let you tweet from just about anywhere – including the Mariana Trench. What [...]

They started in Australia. Made their way to Guam. Visited the Challenger Deep site, and then carried on to the Ulithi Atoll. I’m gathering that they haven’t intended to dive yet, that everything is going according to plan, and they’re about to make the big dive any moment. (Follow the latest updates here) Cameron and [...]
Don’t know if the #DeepSeaChallenge has been met or not

but I do know these are challenging times for Cameron and his team. He’s been preparing for this moment for 8 years. He’s been methodical, thinking through all the pieces, running tests, developing tools and materials to help him dive to the bottom of the trench. Now everything is ready and in place for the [...]
This #DeepSeaChallenge Suspense is killing me

From what I can tell, Cameron and team are on site (or at least very close to the Mariana Trench) and waiting for the weather to allow an attempt. There haven’t been any reports from the ship in a few days, so for all I know they’ve already done it, or tried, and we’re just [...]

Tinef, my Chester Yawl that sails, is now a left-coaster, but she grew up in the East and had a good life while we were back there. She was built in my garage in Princeton, launched on Carnegie Lake, and then towed behind my truck to a couple cool sailing spots before making the trek [...]
Remembering Summer (in Maine)

This is my favorite campground. I practically lived here in August, writing my thesis by the power of the sun inside my little abode in this converted cargo trailer. This is the Camden Hills Campground in Camden, Maine. A wonderful place to camp, and an amazing harbor to sail around. This was heaven for a [...]

is about to happen, and I’m excited about it. There are a few others attempting to do the same – to make repeated visits to the deepest part of the ocean. The Mariana Trench is 36,070 ft. deep and the ocean exerts a pressure which is approximately 1,100 times atmospheric on anything that ventures down [...]
