Under This Wedded Jewel

Sailor
Under this wedded jewel

In the distance, the whooshing hum of evening traffic is almost deafening, as rubber tires spin across hardened pavement. Those modern, mechanical carriages are so close to us, and yet we are invisible to them, mostly. The occasional traveler may catch a glimpse of us here in this place. We see you as you whiz by. We hear you as you move deliberately towards whatever destination you have selected. I wonder where you are scurrying, to and fro. We sit idle, calm, and patient, in this pool of mirrors with…

Shannon

Thirsty Thursday Last Thursday was a “Thirsty Thursday” kind of day aboard Banjo.  I suppose Thirsty Thursday can take many forms.  This Thirsty Thursday’s line up was a bath, about 100 gallons of water, wine AND champagne.

Fiery Sunset

Last night provided an amazing fiery sunset video at anchor.  In fact, it was one of the most captivating I have seen since we brought Banjo to New Bern.  Having made it through Hurricane Florence, I held a deep sense of gratitude.  Sitting on deck, the horizon was brilliant as if the anchorage sky was on fire.  Wanted to share the entire sequence.  It seemed as if the moment I turned my attention away, it changed again and again.  The sky kept sneaking up on me in completely different ways.…

2017 Thanksgiving Sunset in New Bern, NC

Sailor

2017 Thanksgiving Sunset After we had helped clean up form the Bridgepoint Marina Thanksgiving Dinner, I was on the way back to Banjo for a much-needed rest.  Luckily, the timing was such that I was able to witness and capture this breathtaking 2017 Thanksgiving Sunset.  At first, the sky was a gentle pink and I noticed it due to a large raft of ducks crossing the Trent River.  The ducks drew my attention upwards, since, prior to seeing them, I was doing my best to remain conscious. Nature never fails…
