Travelogue – Florida Bound

One thing we did different this trip was change up when we got gas. Usually we get down to around a quarter of a tank then pull off and fill up. These stops may or may not coincide with a meal break. The reason we wanted to make a change is because on our default […]

Strandbeest

While working on my robotics project I ran into this. It’s called a Strnadbeest. A Strandbeest or “beach beast” is the work of Dutch artist/engineer Theo

Jansen. They are built out of PVC pipe and are powered by the wind. Sometimes they collect wind energy and store it in 2 liter soda bottles that are […]

Seaweed at the beach in Galveston

Marsh Redfish

It was about 46 degrees and really windy today, I had been out for a couple of hours with nothing to show for it except some wind burn. Then I found this guy, he made my day. After this one a few more found their way to my hook. Among fishermen this is what’s known […]

Cloud Streets

I saw something really wild while I was out fishing the other day.  It was early mooring and pretty calm and clear.  A dolphin was following me around like a stray puppy (but that is another story).  I noticed a big cloud bank heading my way, like when a storm rolls in.  It […]

There is someting I haven’t been telling you

I just told you about my new camera which I got a few weeks ago. Hey, how interesting is it to write a post saying I got a new camera but I don’t know what it does or if it’s any good? Once I used it for a while I was able to add some […]

Fish Fetching Turtle

The past weekend Linda and I went fishing in Galveston Bay. We went early and it was a nice day, not too much wind. At one of our spots we saw something breaking the surface of the water, then disappear, then pop up again. As it got closer we could see it was a sea […]
