C2C, epilogue

Not an Original Observation San Francisco is a very photogenic city. My greatest challenge yesterday as I strolled around absorbing the town's personality was to shed the "traditional" photographer's fear of wasting film, obviously not an issue with digital imaging and cloud computing. Still, at times I felt a bit foolish snapping what to locals must seem quite prosiac subjects. Like streetcars. Not cable cars, mind you, but pre-war, art deco PCCs and even older wooden-bodied trollies, s… Continue

C2C, finale

Sittin' on the Dock of a Bay Wild ride yesterday. Ran into snow and high winds on the Nevada dessert. Thirty-five mph was my top end on I80 for much of the afternoon, although the 18 wheelers didn't seem to notice. No photo ops given the white-out conditions but I plan to make up for that today. Mike has graciously made his beautiful Duffy available to me for accomodations so I plan to play tourist. More to come. Continue

C2C, day 5

Wells, Nevada Towards the end of yesterday's leg I headed west from Salt Lake City for Nevada accross the salt barrens and ran straight as an arrow for nearly an hour. Sixty-eight miles without so much as a gentle bend in the road. Lots of Drowsy Driver warning signs though. And the sunset I was driving directly into looked like a Maxfield Parish painting! Did I say this country is huge? It's vast! Climbing throught the Rockies west of Cheyenne was an unforgetable experience. I'… Continue

C2C, day 4

Cheyenne, Wyoming There's something surreal about listening to Miles Davis on the Internet (Radio Paradise, check it out) while gliding along I80 in Nebraska at sunset with the cruise control locked onto a legal 75. Towing the world's fastest Nantucket Skiff! This country is huge, boys and girls. Everyone should drive coast to coast at least once to appreciate the enormity of it. But since the last time I did it, seventeen years ago, I've noticed a creeping homogenization throughout the… Continue

C2C, day 3

Davenport, Iowa. Surprisigly cool college town on the Mississippi. Click on the picture above for new photos, including shots of Lake Erie. Incredible chop! A new market for the Nantucket Skiff? The trip kicks into high gear today; the goal is Utah. Unsolicited endorsement: everyone on the planet needs an iPhone! Continue

C2C, day 2

Erie, PA. Twelve hours yesterday. No photo ops. One rest area on I90 looks pretty much like another. Gotta grease the wheel bearings on the trailer and check the fluids on the truck. I love cruise control! Continue

Westward ho!

It's been a long time coming (I'm sure Mike Bender will agree) but tomorrow, Friday, April 10, is our absolute departure date, Atlantic to Pacific, to personally deliver Mike's "California Skiff!" Owing to scheduling constraints it'll be a straight shot from Plymouth to San Francisco this time, but we'll be arranging Nantucket Skiff demos later in the season. If the technology (iPhone, MobileMe, Facebook) cooperates we'll be posting photos and updates along the way. Stay tuned! Continue

We're putting the finishing touches on Mike Bender's Nantucket Skiff and plan to clear the breakwater soon. Our itinerary will depend upon firming up demos with interested buyers along our circuitous route to California. We've had one request each from New Jersey, Virginia and San Francisco (convenient, because that's where we're headed) and four from Florida. That's just among Nantucket Skiff network members. We've also gotten requests from folks who haven't yet joined. We'll have our 13" MacB… Continue
