The family of Tim Hallock is sad to share this news.

Timothy George Hallock passed into eternity last week at the age of 54 doing what he loved, winter mountaineering. Born June 17, 1961 in Huntington, N.Y., Tim’s life journey as a sea captain and a mountain guide (trail name, “Yeti”) took him to some of the nation’s highest mountain peaks as well as logging over a million miles as a licensed Ship’s Officer on any tonnage vessel on all oceans. Tim graduated Southold High School and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point. In the recent past, he served as President of NYSOGA (New York State Outdoor Guides Association.) Tim was passionate about many things, mostly God’s creation and our place in it, and family. Tim was the beloved son of Sue Hallock and Dan Hallock: the cherished brother of Dan (Emily), Jen, Matt, Charles (Cara), and Susan; the doting, encouraging and generous-hearted uncle of Julianne, Justin, Sarah, Matty, Angie, Brian, Zach, Desirae, Stephen, Danny, Maeryn and Hannah, and blessed with numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. He was a devoted friend and acquaintance to many others as he worked, played and lived life to the full. Tim’s motto was “LIVE LIFE LIKE YOU MEAN IT.” Tim’s recent experiences are chronicled on his website, northeastmountainguides.com, and two pages HALLOCK’S MARINE SERVICES and NORTHEAST MOUNTAIN GUIDES. The family will receive visitors at Coster-Heppner Funeral Home, Cutchogue, N.Y. on Friday, March 4th from 6:00pm to 9:00pm and again on Saturday, March 5th at 10:00am with burial following at Laurel Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to “NYSOGA Kids to Camp Fund – Tim Hallock”, Attn: Jeff Whittemore, 51 Elm St, Dolgeville, NY 13329.

From my safe anchorage, I have a view of the Miami sky line

Stiltsville abeam , as I make for anchorage just outside No Name Harbor, in the lee of Key Biscayne for the coming NE'er.
These cabins are on stilts on shallow spits, accessible only by boat.

After sailing the Hawk Channel through the night, I carry in the next day, and by late afternoon I can see Miami in the distance

One of the big Catamaran charter boats out of Key West Bight gets caught in the sunset...

The nightly gathering at "Sunset" - where folks go to see the setting sun with nothing to block the view all the way across the Gulf of Mexico.

I could be mistaken, but this moored Chessie Bugeye Ketch looks like the Delta Lady, a replica my family had built back in the 70's as our first charter vessel. She was built of yellow pine in Deltaville, VA, and as a boy my job when we drove down from Long Island to visit during construction had been to sweep the wood shavings from the bilge as she was hewn into shape. The original vessels of this type were used to dredge oysters in the Chesapeake Bay

On the way out of Garrison Bight, A charming floating crib, and rounding for the main channel and sea, Key West Bight, a frequent stop over the years, is packed with yachts

Driving Rte. 1 in the Keys- on the way to Key West for an early winter delivery of a Baba 40 to Lauderdale. There's been some heavy weather down here already this winter, with some 40 kt. winds, but right now we've got a weather window, and I make time to Garrison Bight mooring field

I have a chance to meet up with and talk sailing with Dave, of the Fatty Knees dinghy boat company . Dave makes one of the finest molded glass dinghys around .
Cheers !

After a day with techs and assessing the auto pilot unit, we end up ordering a new one to be shipped in next morning, and I slip from Sandwich to motor west to the other end of the canal to Kingman's Yacht Center for the install and calibration . Heavy fog lays in the canal at first light, but as the sun comes up, it begins to burn off ,

11/18/2015

At day's end, in Cape Cod Bay - approaching the canal - becalmed for the last 2 hours - headed for Sandwich Marina with a failed auto pilot .

Scenes from Rockport - one of the Harbormasters was nice enough to give me a mini tour of this charming town - from sea , the shore line looks like a fortress with natural and mined rock from nearby quarries , disused now but founded in around 1640, local granite gave the town it's name .
Downtown, and from an overlook of the outer harbor, semi- protected by an incomplete ledge jetty

Rockport village

11/16/2015

After 25 hrs of hard sailing, a visit to the sea side village of Rockport, Mass. is in order for some rest, to wait out the gale, and refill a propane tank for cooking and the heater- used a lot already - it was wicked cold last night with strong NW winds, dropping wind chill to about 10 degrees . It may not be winter on land , but offshore it is ...

Making way south- or west actually on the Maine Coast.

11/15/2015

Your out at first light, sunrise fine on the bow, headed for sea once more, gulls call from overhead, you set your canvas- reaching now - the crew is below making coffee- you throw a wave to the light keepers kid at Owl's Head.
You know what? You 're a Goddamn Sail Boat Captain.
Is there anything better in the world ?
