Stamford Wildlife
I’ve posted several times about the abundance of wildlife we see while living aboard Drift Away. We see many species of waterfowl, which should not be surprising, but yesterday Megan (Pam’s daughter) had the day off and watched a deer leap off th…
FPB 64-4 Osprey Video Wave Analysis
We’ve been going through the very short video we have posted on Osprey’s adventure, and found a few interesting waves.

Our continued journey down the Dismal Swamp Canal was beautiful. When in the lead, water ahead was smooth as glass, making it hard to differentiate where the land ended from where the water began. It was mesmerizing when looking ahead, especially when …
