It’s been a hot minute!

I’m pining for some of this but a change in focus necessitates some time away. However, it’s nice to miss it and thankfully it’ll always be there.

Solitude is not a burden. In the rugged beauty and vastness of the Icelandic wilderness being alone becomes the purest way to interact with the natural world.

Along with the singlehanded sailing, these moments stand out as some of the most profound I’ve experienced.

I’ve been looking through some of @benduffyphoto’s classics, to have one printed and framed. Great memories and lots of great images to choose from.

Close of season, making the most of the last few days warm enough for paint to dry and tackling the long list to prepare for the Newfoundland winter.

A cruising family had been towed into harbour by the coastguard after something fouled their prop, so I offered to dive underneath and sort it out.
Once I was in the water, it seemed a shame not to have a look around while I was there.

The otter eating on the rock was a particular highlight later on.
