Flying a Vans RV6 From Watsonville

What a fun experimental plane. And it was "positive-g aerobatic" so I got to practice loops, rolls and spins. Good times.

A Talk at ISIMA

Arroyo Seco Hike

Hiking a river valley near UCSC where you had to spend a lot of your "hike" swimming up stream like a salmon. What a great way to keep cool and float along.

Florida

A Family Reunion Trip to Lido Beach Florida:

Rayleigh Sky

Up at Opal, I spent time making a video and an applied model for how the polarization of the sky works. It made lots of cool figures....

Airplane Shaping Up

The airplane is coming along.... All the new parts are in. The windows are nearly ready. Engine is hung. Cowling and wheel pants are primed and ready for final painting. It's getting exciting.

Petoskey Run

After a day of sailing, we took a run over to Petoskey for Joanna to do parade stuff. Nikki and I just hung out around town for a little while. It was really pretty to drive through summer corn country. Slept out on the pontoon boat under the stars....

Hippie Boat Parade

We won this years boat parade contest with the theme 70's..... Go team Opal.

Another Water Day

The snark, hobie cat, pontoon and another good sunset.

Opal 2

Another round of sailing....... and snorkeling for golf balls.
