The Big Day Begins--Early!

While their (un)faithful blogger overslept, the valiant Aquanuts swam in three beaches before 8am! The weather is not encouraging, but determination and camaraderie carry them ever forward on their journey.

Beach 1: Misquamicut

Beach 2: Charlestown

Beach 3: East Matunuck

Next up: breakfast!

And they're off!

After an evening departure from MA, the 5 Aquanuts fortify themselves with adult beverages and get ready for a good night's sleep in Pawcatuck, RI. Tomorrow the wet stuff begins.
Sleep well, Aquanuts.

Swim Adventure '17

 The Aquanuts are Back!

Making the biggest impact on the smallest State, the intrepid Aquanuts plan to hit the beaches of coastal Rhode Island on Tuesday August 15.  A dawn start at Misquamicut should get them out to Block Island and back in time to finish in Little Compton before sundown.

Nine beaches in nine towns is this year's goal, and you are invited to follow along as we relay our adventures to our blogger back at base camp.

(Note: The Aquanuts lead complicated lives. It is always advisable to check in advance before attempting to meet them along the way.)

New Festivals!

Thrilled to say that Why We Went to the Moon (2015) has been made an Official Selection of the RAW Science Film Festival in Los Angeles, the RapidLion Film Festival in Johannesburg, and at the Short Movie Club Festival in Minsk, Belarus.

More Film Festival News

In the past few weeks my 2015 short Why We Went to the Moon, has been made an Official Selection at three very diverse film festivals. In late September, WWWttM makes its Canadian debut at the Hamilton (ONT) Music and Film Festival. 

Later this fall the film will screen as part of the Guam International Film Festival in Hagatna, Guam. I just received notice that the work has been selected by the Slash and Bash Film Festival of Topeka KS. This will be the twelfth edition of the festival. Prior attendeees have included Adrienne Barbeau of Swamp Thing fame.

Mission accomplished!

Old Silver Beach in Falmouth. We have just about closed the loop here. OSB is on Buzzard's Bay. Continuing up the Bay would get us back to Bourne. (Remember Day 1?) Warm, but rough waters here at the mouth of the Bay.

Sixteen beaches in two days! And now for a relaxing dinner with friends and a long, dry ride home. Thanks to Jan for her more than generous hosting.

Only one more beach to conquer!

It's South Cape Beach in Mashpee. Number 15 out of 16. South Cape is just about the only public beach in the town of Mashpee. Run by the Commonwealth. They wanted to collect a parking fee but the machine was broken. Last of the Sound side beaches.
