More Caribbean murders, some interesting typewriter stuff, and over in the “FAFO” department… Yeah, I do know that Mali is a land-locked African country and not on anyone’s sailing itinerary but, I expect, it won’t be the only country with the same idea and some will be on cruising routes. As it happens, I’ve completely …
An apt thought, a bit of good news, and in the “this might be entertaining” department… Tom Cunliffe with something well worth watching… You’re still here?
A workshop for our times, some depressing sense being made, and in the “obviously I’m in the wrong business” department… Voile magazine has a short video on chart, protractor, and divider use that pretty much says it all, even if you don’t speak French. Simple as pie.
