Schooner “Spirit of Massachusetts” in silhouette during Tall Ships 2009 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Still a lot of detail to pull out of these old files, and #blackandwhite seems appropriate for the subject matter. #photography #monochrome #tallship #schooner #sailing #silhouette #halifaxnovascotia
Update on #Nautilism, my Godot sailing game! I have refactored the wave code and made some more under-the-hood tweaks. I also set up a #GitLab #CI pipeline to automatically build the game and host the builds on #gitlabpages. The repository is https://gitlab.com/TKK13909/nautilism and the website is https://nautilism-c15fcc.gitlab.io/
Please try it out and tell me what you think! I'm still trying to figure out the direction I want to take the game but I am happy to hear suggestions.

PNW absolutely is a US term, mostly due the way the border is now enforced (past 50+ years) It is true in my #sailing community, too - #WA sailors rarely/never sail here, likewise #BC #sailors there, with the small exceptions of the San Juan Islands and Desolation Sound.
Some of those comments are why I do not think it should be on a #bike site. To stay "we're all #cyclists together" do not attract/platform the trolls, or highlight our differences/divisions.

Spliced and tied my first soft shackle today.* Dyneema is a strange material to work with: apparently nearly as slippery as teflon so requires special knots, is really static so requires special knots or splicing, et cetera.
Anyway, for my application it’ll be just the ticket but I won’t give up on real cordage just yet.

Dernier épisode "Stand as One" réalisé par mes soins, tout fraichement dispo sur Youtube.
A sparkling late October day of sailing on the tidal James River near Jamestown. A custom catboat and William Garden Eel dancing back and forth, as viewed from a Vivier Ilur built by the owner.

I boost loads of sailing because I love to see yachts. I'm not a sailer or seafarer of any kind. Perhaps it's because I read 'Swallows and Amazons' as a kid
Sailing of any kind connects with the *real world* of sea, sky, wind, rain, sun & storm - especially offshore & ocean sailing - but I have preference for single / two-handed mono-hull boats
Then there's the lifeboats
I have huge respect for the crews who go out in all weathers to help other people

I just wrapped up my first offshore passage, helping a friend bring his sailboat up from the Bahamas back to Maryland. We found a nearly perfect weather window, downwind from the Bahamas and up the Gulf Stream. It was a bit trickier with heavy seas once we left the Gulf Stream, along with a struggle up the Bay through serious chop and heavy wind on our nose. It took us 7 days to go a total of 960 nautical miles.
Highlights included eating freshly caught barracuda and mahi mahi, swimming in the 80F waters of the Gulf Stream off the coast of Virginia (with a safety line attached to a floating PFD tied off to the boat), and having pods of dolphins swim along with us on a couple occasions. Night watches were hard during the later stretches with wind, current, and waves against us, but we had a great crew. I'm glad to have made the trip and built the experience.
