Some interesting NOAA/Bill Nye news, a scary question, and another case of sanewashing… For the last couple of years, Starlink has become a popular solution for cruisers as a way to keep online. We considered it mostly for the ability to have access to weather reports and business emails when in the middle of nowhere. …
An interesting read about resistance in Norway, some otter science, and a very scary premise… So, as it happens, I decided that having this book might not be a bad thing for the foreseeable future… Amazon has it for $184 and change. Being both unwilling to buy stuff from Amazon these days and far too …
A snow report of note, EBM with an important link, and a must read from Strangely Blogged… I pretty much start every day by playing backgammon. Partly because it clears my head and partly because it keeps the brain sharp. Today, my AI opponent kicked my butt. In hindsight, the fault was mine as I …
An excellent read, not just another crypto scam, and just in case you haven’t been paying attention lately… So, yeah, yesterday’s truckload of excrement sure did hit those rotating blades and it’s time to rethink our current cruising plans.

A very good point, some democrats should take note, and an important read… It’s no secret that cruising can be expensive. Nearly everyone will tell you that but I’m not one of those guys. While there are numerous reasons that cruising can be dauntingly expensive, with a bit of care and forethought abject poverty can …
EBM with a catch that gives me some hope, this pissed me off, and something about those folks without spines… Speaking of the Hensaval scow, Eric is also working on a junk rig version. Kind of cool, that.
Regarding that bird flu, some apt pronoun usage, and a flag on El Capitan… Well, the world seems to be going to hell in dual-carb turbocharged wicker basket and all I can think about is how/where to mount our watermaker. Or, as I like to put it, the conundrum from hell. While I should be …
Some needful reading, enabling billionaire sewage, and in the “Wouldn’t surprise me at all‘ department… Eric Henseval has a pretty neat scow you might want to take a look at… It’s the DIVINITÉ 7m expé and well worth a bit of study. At just under 24 feet, this scow really packs in a huge amount …
