the M/V Neato

30' outboard powerboat, designed by Phil Edwards, built by Dencho Marine in Long Beach, CA

since Phil also designed the infamous hobie power skiff, it was in many ways just like looking at a 2:1 scale of my 15' skiff from the basic hull shape and low freeboard all the way down to the console and the forward seat, which on his boat took the form of the cuddy and helm

killer dana

took the skiff out the other day to scout a few spots for lobster season.  i went and payed my respects in the lee of dana, and tried to imagine where the take off spot might have been on a big day; before the harbor was built...

 ended up with the most challenging limit of scallops i've taken. in all the surge and swell, it took a solid 2 hours to get my 10

mt. tam

mt. tam holds a very special place in my heart.  i could sit for hours on its summit looking out in all directions, down to pacifica, over the city, east to richmond, imagining i were an ant living on a relief map of the bay area.  there everything becomes clear to me; how the san andreas, the bays, the peaks and suburbs all relate to one another logically.  i'd always wondered what it's like to sit up in that lookout house behind the razor wire; this video does a wonderful job capturing that perspective, and then some. the time lapses, especially at night blew my mind.  enjoy!

Assembly Bill No. 1616 (cottage foods)

Gerry Brown has passed AB 1616, that states under "specified requirements related to training, sanitation, preparation, labeling, and permissive types of sale"; the production and sale of "non potentially hazardous foods" is permitted from non certified/commercial kitchens.  Sounds pretty awesome, yet sorta hard to regulate & enforce.  Seems like a great opportunity for many....just so long as a few with the wrong motive$ don't use it as means to cut corners and ruin it for the rest...

Check it out for yourself...
