End of August. Anchored in cove up in Maine, daybreak is happening. In addition to an anchor watch app I also use the alarm on my depth sounder. Down side to this is it beeps whenever a school of baitfish swims under the boat. It's beeping then I hear something that sounds like a foot pump for an inflatable. Now I gotta get up & see what the heck that noise is. A porpoise is swimming circles around my boat. The sound was it's exhaling & inhaling. I'm mesmerized watching this creature. Finally scrambled to grab my phone so I could get a picture. It was a pretty cool way to start my day!

Awesome!
once when surfing Santa Monica Beach in LA I had a loooong pod of whales pass by my surf board, all drafting each other, headed south. they were so close I could smell each exhale. as I was watching them I became aware of the horns in traffic behind me on Pacific Coast Highway. the contrast of nature so close to the rat race was something to ponder. I felt lucky to be where I was.
thanks for posting.

I sold my camper van last week and moved aboard. We are not in the water yet. I am waiting on a couple more parts and will be launching in the next two weeks in the Cape Fear River west of Wilmington. I'll be heading south as soon as I have the rig tuned up.

Todd - stop by here on your way S. Two good days from there to here (Wilm -> Lil River -> Gtown). If you leave Lil River/Calabash on a mid tide rising, current will be with you all the way to the Soccastee swing bridge. From there you are on the Waccamaw and it'll reverse, you'll have a falling tide to bring you downriver to Winyah Bay. There's a weekend rate for small boats here, just $25 for the whole weekend if you want/need to stay and sort out what the first 2 days of travel "teach" you. ;)
