Description:

A man trying to reconnect with his parents on a sailing trip is caught in the path of a hurricane. At a remote Caribbean island, facing imminent shipwreck, the author finds himself struggling to survive inside the eye of the storm.

A true story.

Paperback.  184 pages.  By: Cory R. Lunn.  $19.95 USD

Excerpt:

“Hang on tight!” I shout over the roar of the storm.
The inflatable dinghy suddenly drops into the trough of a wave.  The crippled engine struggles to point the bow up the face of the next wave. It can barely push forward against the hurricane.  Glancing down, I see that the boat is nearly full of water.

Road Trips

These are pictures from the two most recent road trips. The first trip was an 11 day drive to New York City and then a flight back. Then, just a week after I got back, I drove to Texas. I stayed there for a couple of weeks and then drove back to California. One of these pictures shows NYC traffic and the other is a sunset in New Mexico.

Trailer Hitch

I purchased a trailer hitch and installed it on the Jeep. I was going to use it to tow a friend's car to New York, but ended up ended up driving the friend's car there and then flying back.

Take a Hike

A few weeks ago I did a hike to the top of Mt. Baldy near LA. It involved thousands of feet of elevation change and was very difficult for me but worth the effort. The view from the top is spectacular.

Valkyrie II

Here's some things to look for that are improvements over the original Valkyrie. There are limber holes (notches) in the frames for drainage. The seat is more ergonomically designed. There is no center console crowding the cockpit. There is extra reinforcement below the floor at the mast step. Overall the framing is simpler and lighter. Of course, the hull is now 17.5 feet long instead of 5 feet!
