Hurricane Sandy 2012 part 1
Hurricane Sandy 2012 part 1
October 30, 2012 Boat, Captains LogSo as Sandy has finally passed us and we’ve managed to weather it relatively fine in comparison to other locations I finally have a few minutes to write an update as to what happened to us during the storm. First I’ll tell you what our plan basically was for the storm. Batten down the hatches […]
Pathfinder makes her way back to TIM
Pathfinder makes her way back to TIM
April 20, 2012 Boat, Captains LogThis trip I wanted to basically man the wheel the entire way over but the fates conspired against me. I ended up getting the stomach flu only a few days before this move and even on this day I was still hurling over the rail. Fortunately my friend Mitch (who’s got loads and loads of […]
A busy few weeks with a lot of good news
A busy few weeks with a lot of good news
November 2, 2011 Boat, Captains Log, News, UncategorizedHey all. So a number of things have gone on. We moved the boat! We’re back at Pier 4 for winter again. I piloted the ship out of TIM (thanks to Mitch giving me guidance on how to handle the ship) so now I’m no longer called “Swabby” by Dad. The best news is that […]
Summer in TO
Summer in TO
July 3, 2011 Boat, Captains LogThe sun sets on Pathfinder once again after a spectacular series of long overdue nice days. True they’ve been hot, but it hasn’t rained, no drops in temperature and overall the evenings have proven to be quite pleasant. In any case I find myself relaxing after driving back from my parents house this weekend on […]
Summer is definitely here… Could it please leave now?
Summer is definitely here… Could it please leave now?
June 8, 2011 Boat, Captains Log34 degrees Celsius? Honestly? For Pete’s sake this weather is not being kind. Fortunately we have 1 weapon available for the time being… The lake. It’s still cold water in there so the cargohold stays at a much cooler temp than the pilot house etc which does get very hot. Next week I’ll be dragging […]
Back home at TIM
Back home at TIM
April 25, 2011 Boat, Captains LogAs cheesy as this sounds it really felt like a home coming when we got back to TIM this past Friday. Before we get to far into it here’s the path we took: View Pier 4 to TIM April 2011 in a larger map Originally we had planned to make this trip a lot bigger […]
Roughing it in TO
Roughing it in TO
November 6, 2010 Boat, Captains Log, FixedJeannie and I have just completed some work on the Pathfinder at Pier 4 (more or less). Things have been going rather well even if the ship isn’t 100% complete. We now have most of the equipment ready to be installed but we’re still working on wood work. Today I hope to get the galley […]
Pathfinder arrives at its winter home!
Pathfinder arrives at its winter home!
November 2, 2010 Boat, Captains Log, Fixed, LogPosted from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. So Pathfinder made its final journey for the year from Toronto Island Marina to Pier 4 this year. Naturally since this is one of my stories things didn’t exactly go as planned as you can see by the map below of approximately where we went. View From TIM to Pier […]
I’m back!!!
I’m back!!!
May 25, 2010 Boat, Captains Log, LogPosted from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Amazingly enough I’ve made it back alive. I’ll be doing a more thorough day by day blog posting of the trip when I get a chance. I’ve got a string of emails that I used essentially as my source of notes for the entire trip. Sadly there is NO time […]
Day 4: Part of the wavy navy.
Day 4: Part of the wavy navy.
May 13, 2010 Boat, Captains Log, LogPosted from Sandwich, Massachusetts, United States. Yesterday we decided that we would try to leave later at night with the tide just to make the passage that much quicker. The speed part worked out well as we were able to hit 10 knots while in the area outside of Eastport with the islands, the down […]
