"Sailing" to Anacapa : "Sailing" on the schooner "Bill-of-Rights" from Oxnard, CA to Anacapa island. October 16, 2010. The weather was cold, rainy and no wind. We motored all the time. I was dreaming of dramatic light around Anacapa Island (Chanel Islands National Park), but it was flat and foggy. Anacapa looks great even in the fog. So, I took a lot of images and transfer them to "antic" look to give at least some atmosphere. The crew was great and all trip was nice.
More info on the ship:
Built in 1971, the 129’ Bill of Rights is a wooden, gaff-rigged topsail schooner designed by McCurdy, Rhodes & Bates. She is patterned after Wanderer, a schooner built in 1856 as a racing yacht. She was acquired by the Los Angeles Maritime Institute in 1997 after serving as a charter vessel on the East Coast. Bill of Right’s current owner, Stephen Taylor, is also her Captain and the founder of the American Tall Ships institute (http://americantallship.org/). She provides private and public party tours of the harbor and a variety of “immersion type” student programs during the week and offers day sails to the public on the weekends to the Channel Islands.

Kayaking Rush Creek : Rush Creek / Silver Lake is nestled deep within the heart of the Sierra Nevada (California) at the base of Carson Peak, just below the confluence of Reversed Creek with Rush Creek. California Route 158 traverses along the eastern shore, while a row of fine summer homes and cabins lies across the lake to the east.
Silver Lake is also home to one of the Sierra's oldest fishing and vacation resorts. The Silver Lake Resort was originally known as "Carson's Camp," and has been famous for quality mountain recreation since the 1920's.
Rush Creek is coming from Waugh Lake (el. 9,442 ft) through Gem Lake (9,058ft), Agnew Lake (at around 8,500ft) all the way down to June Lake Loop (el. 7,215ft at Silver Lake). Rush Creek is crossing under the Highway 158 at the Rush Creek Power Station. From that point you can put your kayak into the water and slowly paddle through the most beautiful part of the Eastern Sierra. From Rush Creek Power Plant to the Silver Lake is short distance around a mile or more, but is worth to go. You can end the trip at the Silver Lake Resort on the North West end of the lake (additional mile). Further kayaking (from Silver Lake down towards Grant Lake) is recommended only for experienced kayakers as the creek get really fast on some places (white water). Images are taken for July 4th. It was hot and a lot of water as snow is still melting, in May is usually less water.
