A coastal relic living in Campbell River, BC., rattling around the beaches and the bush. Hobbies are anything nautical, unsuccesful prospecting and treasure hunting, gardening and photography. Have built and operated 5 commercial salmon/log salvage boats, and still love playing with tools, and messing about in boats.BIO"I have often thought in all the world, The saddest thing to be; Old admirals that feel the wind, But never put to sea." Al Stewart, fron Past, Present, and Future. After a lifetime of fishing, beachcombing,(log salvage) and generally messing about, health issues have put me on the beach for good. You never completely get the salt water out of your veins, though. This gallery gives me a chance to fish some memories out of shoe boxes and share them, something that's rapidly becoming another hobby. I began fishing for money at age 11, 6 if you count trading rockcod for popsicles. I hope you enjoy my reminiscing.

Looks about 50,000 Tonnes...hard to Port...I used to write "Port Side" on My Left Hand..."Starboard Side" on My Right Hand. I was an "Untrained Mariner"...everything I have done is "Self Taught"...Your Sea Shots start an Avalanche of Memories. Cheers!

Not wanting to repeat Cyns words, i'd like to say thanks to all ship-watchers. No ships around here. Sadly. The more i like your pics! :)

i dreamed of shipping aboard a freighter when i was a kid. at 17 i got my papers for a freighter out of New Orleans and was headed out of the one-horse town i grew up in when the local cop pulled up beside me and arrested me. my birth mother had filed a false report of theft to keep me from "ruining my life". that close Jim, that damned close.
