The Inertia

Joe Davies hails from Jersey, one of the Channel Islands. As an American, when I first heard that it did not compute. Jersey’s on the east coast, Channel Islands on the west, and I was pretty sure none of them were named Jersey. Quickly (with the help of Google) I discovered that the island of Jersey sits in the English Channel between the UK and France – though it’s technically a self-governing dependency of the UK. Crazy. But beyond the geography lesson inspired by this little clip, there’s some great logging to boot.

Like the island of Jersey from where he comes, Joe isn’t the most mainstream of characters. But damn does Jersey look like a beautiful little place. And if a visit means witnessing some of the graceful traditional log stylings of Mr. Joe Davies in person, sounds like a win win.
