Sanger has zero tolerance for misbehavior, so when fistfights occur between crew members, for example, they're off the boat. "You don't have to stay on long - the shorter, the better."Īlthough the crew members remain chipper on deck, drama worthy of reality television happens behind closed doors, Teresa Vano says. It takes a special person to become a crew member," said Sanger. The only privacy afforded to crew members are the curtains that enclose their bunks, and restrooms, which do not come with showers and are only a bit larger than airplane stalls. While the exterior of the boats try to remain consistent with 15th century models, below deck the crews live in a more modern, but still cramped space with basic household appliances - flat-screen televisions, gas stoves, microwaves and freezers. Six volunteer crew members, ranging in age from their 20s up into their 50s, live on each boat. With such a high price tag, Morgan says he isn't likely to build the Santa Maria. The larger vessel is 25 feet longer and 8 feet wider than the Niña and cost $2.5 million to complete, according to Sanger. Both boats can sail in waters around eight feet deep. Steering is manual, with a wooden rudder that sweeps beneath the water. Built from Brazilian hardwood, the boat was patterned off of a caravel vessel that Sanger excavated from the ocean and from a 15th century log entry that said the Niña could carry 55 tons of cargo.Īlthough they have a back-up diesel tank, the Niña and Pinta generally are powered by wind and sail. Morgan Sanger, a New York native and the captain of the ships, and his team of 30 men completed the Niña - reportedly Columbus's favorite ship - in 1991 with the use of only hand tools. No detail was overlooked in designing and constructing the vessels to be as identical as possible to the ones that sailed across the Atlantic in 1492. and sometimes into Central America, where the crew gives tours and answers all Columbus-related questions. The boats travel 10 months out of the year around the U.S. "We don't really have a home port because we sail almost year-round and we do maintenance in Alabama." "We move 7 and 8 miles per hour," said Stephen Sanger, first mate on the Pinta. The arrival of the 15th-century replicas of Portuguese caravel vessels on Thursday was replete with the pomp and circumstance that wasn't seen with the Beaumont landing five years ago.Ĭelebratory cannons were blown to announce the arrival of the floating museum while Contraband festival volunteers dressed in pirate attire distributed beads and mock doubloons.Ĭrew members were quick to ready the ship for docking, delighted by their first opportunity to step on solid ground since three days ago when they docked at Matagorda Bay.

![]() If you're trying to avoid feeding larger birds, a hopper feeder isn’t your best option. Hopper bird feeders can be tricky to keep clean – and it's essential that you do clean them to prevent the spread of disease. Hopper feeders have roofs to help prevent the seed inside from getting wet. Hopper bird feeders are suitable for both large and small birds, and certain species (like cardinals) find them more attractive than hanging feeders.ĭue to their large size, you generally don't have to refill hopper feeders very often. They can be mounted on a pole or suspended in the air. They typically have a roof, a large reservoir for the seed in the middle, and a platform and tray from which the birds eat. Hopper bird feeders usually look like little houses. Price: Hanging bird feeders cost roughly $10 to $30. Hanging bird feeders aren't suitable for feeding larger birds.Ĭheap hanging bird feeders generally aren't very durable. Hanging bird feeders generally sustain very little waste buildup. You can find hanging bird feeders designed to hold larger seeds and seed mixes as well as models designed to hold tiny nyjer seeds. Hanging bird feeders tend to be fairly inexpensive and are readily available. They have holes and perches at the bottom where birds can sit and eat their seed. ![]() Hanging bird feeders are generally tube-shaped and designed to hang from branches or stands. The setup for the app was super easy to get done and the app is easy to figure out once you get going, I just wish selecting multiple videos for deletion was an easier process.Types of bird feeders Hanging bird feeders My only real complaint is the solar panel bracket lost its grip at the tightening nut during my first installation, so I had to use a 2 part epoxy to resolve that issue and get it to hold position. I have yet to catch a single bird on the camera, but I have caught myself walking by from about 20' away, so in addition to a bird specific camera this also lends itself to a very covert security camera for an area within a wifi zone. The camera itself is more of a security camera than a bird specific camera, the sensor picks up motion from falling leaves to swaying trees in the distance. One tip, the on/off button and access to the memory card is at the top of the camera, you have to tilt it all the way forward and removed the rubber cover plug.Īfter allowing this camera to solar charge after a full day I started receiving notifications continuously. The metal base plate that gets screwed onto your mounting surface is very sturdy, we've been having very strong winds this week and although you can see the little birdhouse being slammed with high winds, it's holding very well. The ease of assembly of this bird house is the best part about this kit and once you have the bird house assembled it looks very attractive and modern, but still 'functional'. Overall this is a very cool item, super easy to assemble, very well designed with the camera in the perfect focal point. So far I am pleased without cloud storage. Possibly will later if I feel that I need it. I did not elect to subscribe to cloud storage. The fact that it INCLUDES a solar panel for charging makes it PERFECT! A bit pricey but it also serves as a security camera and is right in line with those costs. If you need a great gift for a bird lover - this is it. ![]() ![]() I do have several other feeders so they may not feel the need to search around. I knew both of these would readily feed but hopeful others will follow. Immediately followed by 3 sparrows (I hate them but was excited to see a bird). I even used the voice mic to scare him off once. My first visitor, a squirrel, arrived early this morning. Even includes a Velcro strap in case you want to mount to a smaller tree. Includes all mounting needs and the bracket is really heavy duty. Arrived well packaged and they thought of everything. The manual is actually an heavy quality book with a lot of extra info. The manual and all instruction are thorough and some of the best Ive ever received. They even explain why no 5hz ( basically stating that the 2.4hz is stronger and goes through walls better - those my words, not theirs). The Wi-Fi hookup was the EASIEST of anything Ive ever added to my dual band Google home network. ![]() ![]() The Buddha gave many important sermons on the impermanent nature of feelings and thoughts. The Portrait of Enlightened Man in front of his food stall One of the most enlightened folks I met in the Camino was a former pilgrim who now just lives along the way in a hut for the past decade, serving pilgrims with fruits and coffee, charging them nothing, making enough from donations to serve food the next day. But sometimes, I second-guess our drifting life, especially after kids. My wife and I are minimalists at heart and have never bought a house or a car or much stuff living off little more than a backpack. One change of clothes is all you need to live. You strip the contents of your backpack to nothing but a change of clothes and the barest gear since even 1 kilogram of extra weight is the difference between enjoying a pleasant hike and feeling like a beast of burden. I loved the simplicity of the pilgrim’s way. More than the natural beauty though, the Camino de Santiago ranks right up there with 30-Day Yoga Teacher’s Training and multiple 10-day silent Vipassana meditation retreats, as one of my most profound life experiences for more personal reasons: 5:30a.m in the Spanish countryside-Overwhelmed with Beauty One day, early in the morning in the plains, my eyes teared up at the first light of dawn, so overwhelming was the beauty around me. The landscape changes daily from misty mountains in France to the dreaded flat “Meseta” plains in Spain, then ancient, picturesque Spanish villages and iconic modern cities like Pampalona and Burgos. I’ve hiked a fair amount and the Camino De Santiago is as rich and varied scenery as I’ve traversed. As an aside, please drop me a note in the comments if you want any Buddhist reading recommendations-they that’ve had a very profound impact on my life this year. I was pulled urgently to the walk now in 2022, for example, given both my transition from the corporate/startup world to a potential path in the public sector and the time to reflect on the Buddhist text I’ve been reading very actively this year. Today, people walk for a variety of reasons, and based on the hundreds of pilgrims I met along the way I’d split as follows:Ĥ0% : People-in-major-transitions – Folks changing careers, seeking meaning and revitalisation after retirement or divorce, or generally questioning the apparent meaninglessness of the birth-life-death cycle.Ģ0%: Challenge Seekers – People seeking to challenge themselves by pushing the limits of how much they can walk and how much pain they can endure.Ģ0%: Deepening Christian faith- A notable number of people I met were Catholics looking to deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ.ġ0%: Celebrating Relationships – Families, spouses, or friends walking together in small groups, enjoying the dedicated time together.ġ0% Camino Loyalists- People who fall in love with the picturesque Spanish countryside, the community of pilgrims, the health benefits of walking, and the time to reflect–and keep returning every few years. I hope this blog can inspire some of you to make the journey as a pay-it-forward to the unknown gentleman who inspired me: Quick Background: What is the Camino De Santiago?įrom medieval times, Christian pilgrims have walked from their homes to the cathedral of Saint James in Santiago de Compostela as a pilgrimage, a penance, and a religious experience. But last month, more than a decade later, after I’d first planned to do it, I was fortunate to walk the full 800-kilometer pilgrimage solo, thanks to my wife’s support in taking care of the kids in this time. Life came in the middle–jobs, startups, kids. My mother had recently passed away from cancer. ![]() I’m not religious in the conventional sense, but his energy filled up the room so much that I felt I was having a religious experience that day. ![]() His face lit up as he talked about the physical hardship of the journey, the hospitality of the churches who opened their doors to pilgrims each night, and the deep sense of community among travelers from all over the world walking for weeks on the same physical and spiritual path. A seventy-year-old French artist was making a presentation about his Camino pilgrimage in the Rubin Museum of Himalayan Arts in New York one night. I was pulled to the Camino De Santiago, the 800-kilometer walking pilgrimage from the Pyrenees mountains in France to the town of Santiago De Compostela in Spain, the moment I’d first heard of it in 2011.

Age Quick tip: For babies born prematurely, use their adjusted age rather than chronological age when you look up their numbers on this chart. The WHO charts are based on healthy growth patterns for breastfed children and are endorsed by the CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics. The CDC recommends that healthcare providers use the WHO growth charts to monitor growth for infants and children ages 0 to 2 years, and use the CDC growth charts for those 2 years and older. The average newborn is 19 1/2 inches (49.5 cm) long, with girls measuring 19.4 inches (49.2 cm) and boys measuring 19.7 inches (49.9 cm).
