This year I spent New Years Eve in Memphis with friends from ECU. We saw the Liberty Bowl Parade and watched ECU play Kentucky in the Liberty Bowl. We had a great time in Memphis and Beale Street was a blast. If the outcome of the game had been a little different it would have been a perfect weekend. Photos have been posted as well as a highlight video (lower quality) and a couple panoramic shots of the stadium.
I spent the weekend with my college friends in Charlotte North Carolina for the East Carolina vs. Virginia Tech Football game. I also got a few great panoramic shots of the stadium.
This is a photo of part of the aftermath of a microburst that came through the Ware River Yacht Club site shortly after all of the boats came in for the day on Saturday. These five Buccaneers were tipped while at anchor. About 30 other boats were tipped or thrown from their trailers or dollies. The tent city was nearly leveled by what was estimated to be at least 60-knot gusts for less than 5 minutes. There were no injuries and only minor damage to boats, tents and the club facilities.
Happy 4th of July.
This week I got to take the afternoon off on Tuesday to go sailing and photograph Junior Week at Fishing Bay Yacht Club. Here are more of the junior week photos.
I spent this weekend sailing my Laser in a regatta in Ohio on Lake Erie. I got a few fantastic photos of the sun setting.
Friday I attended the NASCAR Nationwide Race – the Lipton Tea 250 at Richmond International Raceway and got a few cool pictures of the race and the racetrack.
I just got back from two and a half weeks of touring South India and visiting my sister in Mumbai. I had a great time visiting my sister, seeing where she lives and relaxing in a few places during our travels.
We started in Mumbai, then headed to Cochin where we saw the fishing village. Next we headed to Alleppey where we hired a houseboat for a day trip. From there we headed to the Periyar Wildlife Preserve where we took a boat trip through the park and went hiking. Our next stop was to see Tea Plantations in Munnar. Finally we ended up renting a Beach hut for 4 days on Palolem Beach in Goa.
