[45/100] Tom

I met Tom at the Drummond Island Yacht Haven while fishing from the docks with my son. Tom wandered over and chatted with my son about fish and then engaged me in conversation.

I learned that he is a retired PA from Oscoda, Michigan - about where the tip of the thumb would touch the hand if squeezed in). He and his wife, Connie, have been at sea for ten months in a Polish-built Catamaran christened "rPad." They are part of the America's Great Loop Cruiser's Association and have nearly completed the 6000 mile loop - only 150 miles to go!

We talked for awhile and then I wished him best of luck for the remainder of the voyage. They were still at the dock the next morning, however, when we returned to fish, and I asked Tom if I could take a portrait of him on the boat as part of the 100 Strangers project. A photographer himself, he asked more about it and happily agreed. His wife, Connie, gave my son a tour of the boat while we took a handful of portraits.

This is the heart of the project for me - meeting really cool people and getting to know a bit of their story. This is #45 in my 100 Strangers Project. For more information about the 100 Strangers Project, please see the eponymous Flickr group: www.flickr.com/groups/100strangers
