I have always looked at Snow Skiing in the winter as a replacement for power- boating in the summer.
Over the years I have snow skied a @#$% ton down allot of Mountains on the east coast.
I’ve described it as power- boating when the creeks are frozen and so are the slopes! But what this guy did is more than unbelievable!!!
Andrzej Bargiel made history as the first person to summit Mount Everest and ski down without supplemental oxygen, achieving this re-markable feat on September 22, 2025. And it was just him plus his team of drone operators and the sherpa who led him to the top.
This is an unbelievable feat and worth watching on You Tube. This truly is an amazing feat and he is lucky to be alive. Red Bull does some amazing things throughout the world.
JC High and yours truly, thinking about how BRIGHT this year is gonna be! This year is so bright we gotta wear shades!
As we celebrate the 250th Birthday of our amazing experiment called the United States of America, I asked myself. I says, “self, What Presidents were Boating Presidents, and which ones were NBPs (Non-Boating Presidents)?”
I’ll start this series with Numero Uno!
President George Washington. He was very much a boating human! Not only did he cross the Delaware River with an army on boats on Christmas Night 1776. He also lived on the Potomac River at Mount Vernon where when he was young cut down a Cherry Tree to build a crab- bing boat.
He loved Old Bay on his crabs and drank a lot of National Bohemian beer! I was at one of those crab feasts that all his bud- dies decided to have! A revolution because the English only had fish and chips and over taxed the Tea.
Get the Boat Ready cause this Summer is gonna get here quicker than you think!
A Really Great Idea to solve New York City’s problems. While I was in Manhattan for the Christmas Holidays I realized a perfect way to solve the housing, park- ing and traffic problem that they have! There’s this giant park right in the center of it all called Central Park. This great big park stops a lot of roads from going through. It has lakes and fields and lots of trees. It could house a million plus people and be used for gigantic parking ga- rages! Sure they would lose a little green space but that could be made up with FREE boat rides out to Coney Island and up the Hudson River or out to the Statue of Liberty! So there it
WOWIE ZOWIE!!! Hear we are celebrating the 250th Birthday of our Nation.
And here we are lucky enough to get to do it on the Upper Chesapeake Bay where a slew of amazing events are planned for the year! Ev- erything is a little brighter, a bit more fantastic and so exciting! I can remember the elation our country had 50 years ago in 1976! I was 8! 50 years later here I am 58! I was boating then and I am boating now! In 1976 the Yacht Club community came together to do a bom- bardment of Fort McHenry. The Inner Harbor hosted the Baltimore City Fair. The Fireworks at Coxs Point were an early memory for me as well as spending a few nights out at Hart Is- land. I also remember going to Betterton Beach where a small amusement park ex- isted on the pier. Knowing these memories, this year I am going to make some for as many kids as I can. When they look back 50 years from now when they are turning around 58! At that point it will be our 300th Birthday. I’m sure I won’t be here but some of the people reading this may be! Make those memories, life is too short, buy the boat!
