Posted on April 26, 2021 by Bill Kinney

Out to the Canyon

Posted on August 30, 2020 by Bill Kinney

This past week we made our first real run out to fish “The Canyons” as we sailed from Lewes, Delaware out to Baltimore Canyon. I’ll bet people who live in Baltimore are more surprised than most to hear that Baltimore … Continue reading →

Why We Live On a Sailboat

Posted on August 13, 2020 by Bill Kinney

Out to the ocean again..

Posted on August 11, 2020 by Bill Kinney

Without a highly specific destination in mind, we head out into the ocean not so much to get somewhere, but just to go sailing while generally meandering north. Our track wandered basically from one fishing spot to another, in a … Continue reading →

Posted on June 3, 2020 by Bill Kinney

For most landlubbers, most of the time, this is a question that is quite simple, and a variety methods will all give you essentially the same answer. When you are standing on, or rolling over, the ground, the ground is … Continue reading →

Less than “Super”

Posted on April 8, 2020 by Bill Kinney

It might be the rantings of a curmudgeon, but the world of journalism has decayed dramatically in recent years. (I’d have said “old curmudgeon” but that would be redundant.) Once upon a time, most people bought a newspaper without knowing … Continue reading →
