Abstract Conformity

𝗖𝗔𝗡 𝗗𝗢 𝗔𝗧𝗧𝗜𝗧𝗨𝗗𝗘. . Where there is a will, there is a way and stomping your feet about it only serves to wallow a hole, so cut it out already. Make progress by thinking around the problem for an actual solution. . No glass on the river? Have your cocktails in a can. That’s a CAN do attitude. I’ll be putting them down while you stamper about all the thinks that could be. Ice cold and ready to go, your better believe no cry babies are involved enjoying the river with us. . . . #frioriver #nocrybabiesallowed #texasforever #ranchriderspirits #cocktails #cocktailsinacan #summertimevibes #outdoorlife #collectivelycreate #highsnobiety #seeyououtthere (at Rio Frio, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEh5YpAHE2-/?igshid=162b5ib6if3ub

𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗧𝗪𝗜𝗫. . With a major storm stoking up to enter the Gulf, it’s time your plans are well in order. Uncertainty looms on landfall and strength, but I’ll give you this bit of advice... . Look at DATA over news outlets pitching you drama. It’s NOT going to be a weak storm wherever it lands, but National Hurricane System and NOAA have statically delivered the best accuracy over the last 28 years 48 hours out. . Sailor 📝: Do you take your orders from a Captain with decades at sea or the once 3rd mate emailing from the office as “Port captain?” . . . #hurricaneseason ##houtx #khou #houstonlove #houstonphotography #htown #houston #texas #hurricanelaura #gulfcoast #seeyououtthere #sailornote (at Houston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CESDa6pH41D/?igshid=6xbminf00yza

During our last trip back from the Frio River, my 4 year old hollered from the backseat “you shouldn’t be on your phone.” She was totally right. . Your actions affect far more than just yourself. Make that decision to be better for them and in turn you too shall benefit. It can wait so those times at the river or wherever you go are still there for everyone. #HeadsUpTexas #EndTheStreakTX #paidpartnership (at Leakey- Frio River) https://www.instagram.com/p/CECD7p4n56v/?igshid=13dxy4ccw0xqs

𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗦𝗘𝗡 𝗨𝗣. . Start with yourself. Share that with people. Let a bit of ease spread amongst us. . There is room for laughter even in these times, that hope some need can come right from you. Show each other that bit by loosening up.

𝗦𝗔𝗜𝗟 𝗢𝗡. . When you’re resting, they’re still moving. To all those mariners whom continue to sail as countries do not allow them to repatriate home and companies shrug their shoulders at correcting this, I truly feel for you. . To anyone working in the shadows when the going is truly tough and few acknowledge what you do, I hear you. . . . . #seafarer #maritimer #oceanliner #ships_best_photos #captain #merchantmarine #ocean #Maritime #nautical #merchantmarine #seaman #sailor #humansatsea #nautical #houtx #khou #houstonlove #houstonphotography #htown #houston #texas (at Galveston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD2Djn-nELU/?igshid=19wmrqdiv1zr7

𝗣𝗜𝗟𝗢𝗧 𝗟𝗜𝗙𝗘. . “If only....” Well it didn’t so that’s already a waste of time to ponder on. Make action that alters the current situation because that’s all you’ve got. I’ve listened to a lot of boo-hooers crossing the ocean and the ship didn’t go any faster nor did the ocean get any smaller, but keep trying maybe that’ll change. . Cue up that song, make a “reel” and join the crowd...or not. Yo ho yo ho, a pirates life for me. . . . #Maritimesbest #captain #sevenseas #seafarer #humansatsea #mariner #seamanlife #coolmariners #nautical #ocean #ship #ships #houtx #khou #houstonlove #houstonphotography #htown #houston #texas #misterspoils (at Seabrook, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDtoou7HhD8/?igshid=10rqs7m7tc2f3

Life has slowed down, yet we’re just now realizing how much was passing us by. Keep your eyes up to see the world going by or it’ll slip right by. I need to improve myself while on the road, and I’ve partnered with @TxDOT in their Distracted Driving campaign to bring awareness to 1 in 5 Texas crashes being the fault of this issue. If we can mask up for each other, we can surely put our phones down. #HeadsUpTexas #EndTheStreakTX #paidpartnership (at Seabrook, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDmWE8zHJKP/?igshid=7izzw33dw7zo

𝗥𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗬 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗢𝗣𝗦. . Whether friends or allies, the time for action is during calm. Reaction occurs during the turbulent times which is all the more reason to be prepared. . A lack of purpose in good times lead to wandering and in turn, complacency. It’s the responsibility of a leader to keep your “troops” prepared so their reactions are second-nature, almost seamless when most called upon. Everyone counts on that preparedness during turmoil. . Sailor 📝: Settling with the belief that you’re full prepared means others are passing you by. Never stop adjusting. Never stop learning. . . . . #shotoniphone #mobilephotography #houtx #khou #houstonlove #houstonphotography #htown #houston #texas #simplyadventure #huffpostgram #collectivelycreate #highsnobiety #seeyououtthere #misterspoils (at La Porte, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDUVKafnHqz/?igshid=16e4i7mwr96w0

𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗔𝗧 𝗜𝗧. . Y’all know that to expect for the next two weeks. . Sailor 📝: Ships.

𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐃 & 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄. . If the outdoors don’t give you a reset and relaxation, I’m all out of options. Though all this, there are still plenty of wide open spaces to seek out. Find one.

𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗜𝗦 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚. . Blue skies and a light breeze quickly turned into a Gale, with little warning. Dust ripped off the local docks making for quite the show. . Docking just 10 minutes later would have been an entirely different animal in those conditions with the tools available. Just a reminder that works in the moment may not be viable just a minute later. Be able to adapt, improvise and overcome. . Sailor 📝: Taking note of changing ripples and white caps on the water will give you a very good indication of wind speed. Beaufort scale will put it all into perspective.

𝐖𝐈𝐍 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄 𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄. .
