Kudos and thanks to the crew of the Coast Guard motor lifeboat Humboldt Bay, which scrambled out of Eureka, Calif., in 12-foot seas to respond to a mayday from the 38-foot crabber Wind Rose. An electrical malfunction blew smoke through the engine compartment and killed the engine and all electronics as Wind Rose, skippered by Capt. Jim Gullett with four crew aboard (including me), pulled crab pots less than a mile off the Eureka breakwater. The Coasties came and got us, towed Wind Rose back into harbor in a pretty exciting following sea. Life on the Pacific coast in winter. (©Ted Pease 2011)

St. George Light

2011-07-19T10:45:00.004-06:00

St. George Lighthouse off of Crescent City, Calif., was built in the 1880’s. It’s an amazing story: St. George Reef is a collection of exposed rocks and covered ledges lying about eight miles northwest of Crescent City. In 1792, George Vancouver named the outcroppings Dragon Rocks, while the nearest point of land was dubbed Point St. George, in hopes that the dragon might one day be slain. The dragon, however, was still alive and well on July 30, 1865, when the steam side-wheeler Brother Jonathan struck the reef and went down. Of the 244 people aboard, only nineteen managed to escape in a small craft. See the rest of it at this website. My fishing buddy Casey and I were there Sunday after a day of tuna fishing 25 miles offshore. More on that to come. (©Ted Pease 2011)

Farmers Market Day

2011-05-22T07:33:00.006-06:00

The weekly Farmers Market on the Plaza in Arcata is a beloved Saturday morning staple. And what better place to spend the day in May when all good people will be called home? Talk about The Rapture!

Produce from Humboldt Bay.

Rapturous face.

Local farmers’ produce, plants, veggie starts, blooming things, honey and greens.

The Rapture! A crazed Humboldt elf frolics on the Arcata Plaza.

Friend Bruce Johnson, on bass, performs with the Compost Mountain Boys.

The produce at the Arcata Market is as much social as mercantile.

The Poem Lady will write original version-on-demand. Your Topic, Your Price.

The Sombrero Ladies sell tickets to win a fabulous vacation, to benefit local causes.

Saechao Farm in Fortuna is our favorite for strawberries.

The Plaza’s own gardens frame and echo the Saturday morning produce stands.

Giant palms frame William McKinley, an American warmonger who inexplicably stands in the center of pacifist Arcata.

Springtime as usual, though still pretty chilly, in Northern Utah. (©Ted Pease 2011)
