I noticed a new link at Google this morning called photos. I'm still one of the minority who doesn't have a flickr account, so I thought I'd try out Google Photos -- what can it hurt.... Well signing up for that, they got me with a promotion for Picassa, what the heck I don't have a good image viewer on my PC -- click .. click. Now Picassa is searching my entire hard drive for pictures.... 20 minutes later I''m surfing a timeline of photos I haven't looked at in years.

Our Long Island home before we bought it (Yuck). The vaious projects we've started.. Vacations .. my daughter growing up. Then there was this Shelter Island chart, and on a dreary, sloppy, sleaty day nothing warms my heart more than thinking about the open water and full throttle headed for the Gut.

'X Marks the spot' where the Bunker had come up into the bay last Fall right before one of the hurricanes passed by. The calm before the storm was like no other I witnessed in 2006. The sea was glass and the tell-tale signs of Menhaden being corralled to the surface by hungry Bluefish and Bass got my heart pumping faster than the strongest Starbucks bold with an extra shot. It was a site I hadn't seen since Rob Scott and I went fishing in late October 2001.
