Some Caribbean news, Sail Delmarva has something to say, and EBM with an important treaty point… Face it, we’re all living in hard times and many of us are starting to think about buying stuff today that may not be available or affordable tomorrow. Yeah, doom spending is a thing. Generally I consider myself an …
Penguin pairings, some needful travel accessories, and in the “let’s all just pretend it never happened” department… I’ve been reading “The Gathering storm” by Alan Jones and it’s been slow going. Mostly because the book seems to be in tandem with the news. Considering that the book is about the rise of Hitler and the …
A film I really want to see, orphaned oil wells, and in the “about those marmots” department… I need a new pair of oars. The reason being that I’m selling a couple of dinghies and they sell better with oars included. With me so far? Anyway, for a bit of amusement, I decided to check …
A good reason to refrain from palm oil, an excellent resource, and in the “it’s the stupidity stupid” department… I saw an interesting article in the New York Times today. Their question is it possible for a couple to buy a boat and live on it for $375K. The mind boggles… Then again, boats have …
A very good read, destroying education, and in the “American politicians take note” department… Here’s an excellent project that will both save you money and result in a user repairable system. Way better than B&G from where I sit.
A good read, something anger inducing, and a good reason why I’m not shopping at Amazon… OK, I’ll be the first person to admit that a watermaker on a sit-on-top kayak is dangerously close to insanity. That said, you have to admire the guy for doing what most consider an impossible task. Just watch… Yeah, …
A letter of note, just another maga guy, and in the “not dead yet” department… I keep waffling on how I’m going to do our dodger on the Islander. No matter what I come up with, nothing seems to make me happy. On the other hand, I’m in no hurry to build a new dodger …
Something about Amtrak, a very good point, and Elie Mystal saying the needful… This brought a smile… However, it did get me thinking about how it’s well past time to see some sort of ground swell against Elon Musk’s other business, Starlink. Sure, I see how a lot of cruisers feel that it’s very important …
Erasing history, some pithy thoughts on Tesla, and in the “know your leader” department… Everybody knows I’m not big on buying stuff. I do, however, have a want list. I’m pretty sure we all do, if only to replace stuff that’s lost or broken. In our case, the first thing on the want list is …
A needful read, not unsurprising but still depressing, and in the “Eggs, did somebody say eggs?) department… I’m currently having a lot of problems dealing with the current surfeit of insanity. Or, to be more precise, I just can’t believe what’s going on. Then again, the simple fact that the great unwashed hordes now consider …
