Chesapeake Bay: Tidewater
The Osprey are back and are feeling comfortable. The Washington Post ran an article on their migratory habits. These birds are well-traveled and eerily precise in their sense of time. And they have become so comfortable in their environment that they are sitting on an a fire alarm in New Jersey
Honor Flight Book Ordering
I will not be reprinting books this year and I am working out an arrangement with Amazon to fulfill all orders come 2015 They are far more efficient and are already taking care of all single book purchases. They may not be delivering your books by drone but they have made self-publishing practical. …which brings me to….
Infrared Photography III: DC PHOTO BOOK
I had the opportunity to make some new infrared images at Herrington Harbour Marina and thought I would share the results with you. For “repeatable” results, it’s best to set the camera on automatic and bracket one-half stop in each direction. More importantly, setting the “white balance” on the camera (see lifepixel website) is essential if you want control over the skies.

Chesapeake Fall Sailing
L’Escargot is berthed at Herrington Harbour Marina which is about fifty minutes from my DC office. It’s a pleasure to spend some of these Fall days using the boat both as an office as well as for making images like the one above. I am sitll stunned that the Marina has wi-fi so I can spend time near the water in this beautiful Fall weat
Tidewater: Chesapeake in Fall
The light on the Chesapeake is quite extraordinary during these Fall afternoons and I have worked out a new camera kit which is proving quite useful when sailing. As always, there were some graceful and colorful boats and future versions of Tidewater: The Chesapeake Bay in Photographs will be richer for the afternoon.

Tidewater: Chesapeake Images
“Witchcraft”, a 1902 wooden sailing vessel berthed for the night at Herrington Harbour Marina. It’s a work of art and history. There is a video on the yacht’s website which shows you how little room you get in a 52 foot wooden yacht! The wooden rocking chair on the stern is just the perfect touch!
TIDEWATER: Classic Yachts
It’s been a busy year in Washington, DC but every week, I try to get out on the L’Escargot and capture the beauty of sailing on the Chesapeake. I know exactly which photograph this will replace in the new edition of Tidewater: The Chesapeake Bay in Photographs. This is a classic Tartan 37 cruiser/racer. I’d guess it’s early seventies and in great shape and trim as it sails off Herrington Harbour.

Tidewater: Fall Sailing on the Chesapeake Bay
Cool weather brought out hundreds of boats from Herrington Harbour South out on the Chesapeake Bay this weekend and L’Escargot happened to be passing by LaNeve, a restored Cape Dory 31 which my neighbor Jim Evans has been working on. There were tons of fishing boats which looked to be picking up crabs, flounder and rockfish […]

Fall Cruising
This was the scene from the helm this weekend as we took advantage of the light winds to finish up the season. I’ve been dropping off cases of “Tidewater” at the various marinas we visit on our explorations of the Chesapeake.
L’Escargot Restored!
L’Escargot, now the nicest Bristol 32 on the Chesapeake Bay, is in the water and going fast (for a Bristol 32). I’d like to thank everyone who coordinated their efforts to get the boat through the yard: Buster Phipps for his innovative hatches and woodwork, Osprey Marine Composites for a smooth bottom and structural […]
Oxford Afternoon
I’ve been driving down to the Eastern Shore to get Tidewater books out to Museums and bookstores and took some time out to visit with the Cutts brothers who were just finishing up the rigging one of their classic boats. And in the pool at Mears Marina found Margaret L. Anderson Rosenfeld whose autographed book “On […]
