I am late, but it is still sterday. I found a boat for #shipsaturday in the harbour of Scheveningen #thehague . Behind the boat the pier with cyclists and walkers and on the horizon the skyline of Hoek van Holland. #ship #harbour #thehague #thenetherlands #netherlands #travel #sea #sailing #sailingboat #sailingship #streetphotography #photography #photo #photography #ship #harbour #denhaag #thenetherlands #nederland #travel #sea #sailing #sailingboat #sailingship #streetphotography #photography #photo #fotografie

A1. Posting from #VancouverIsland where the weather was forecast to be gorgeous #sailing weather, but it started out with no wind, then too much wind, and I am back at the dock with a seasick cat.
Bicycling accomplishment this week: rode the e-bike nearly to the top of Mt. Prevost. The max minus min was about 720 m. No I would never have <s>survived</s> succeeded w/o electric assist.
All time greatest cycling accomplishment: correctly setting an index shifter.
Herald: The Interactive Period Drama made by Wispfire is a
"high-seas alternate-history anticolonial, unabashedly woke narrative adventure game"
and deserves a hundred times the amount of reviews it is sitting at right now (TEN

EurekAlert!Archaeologist sailing like a Viking makes unexpected discoveriesArchaeologist Greer Jarrett at Lund University in Sweden has been sailing in the footsteps of Vikings for three years. He can now show that the Vikings sailed farther away from Scandinavia, and took routes farther from land, than was previously believed to have been possible. In his latest study, he has found evidence of a decentralised network of ports, located on islands and peninsulas, which probably played a central role in trade and travel in the Viking era.
Eyesplices aren't my favourite. Should've payed someone to do it. #sailing . One hour later;

@gargron Have some waves (sorry, no sounds, would've been mostly me mumbling to myself anyways).

Recording during a solo sail along the south coast of England. Hence the rolling.
Interesting takes on maintenance, focusing on the '68 singlehand race (yes, it's by stewart brand, but... it is interesting)

For race committees, here's the handicap math and worked examples as...explicit equations in normal math notation.
This content is normally presented in a non-standard way that I personally find hard to understand and apply. Often by a sunburned guy in a polo shirt. Who somehow only speaks by shouting, whether in person or in print 
If you think like I do and have trouble parsing that context, then this version might help you as well.
The Sailing Codex https://morgan3d.github.io/sailing/index.md.html has a large and growing section on all kinds of sailboat racing.
It is focused on helping if you're new to dinghy racing. I included a friendly but precise intro to the rules, and info on boats for getting started.
I've been rolling out new content distilling what I've learned working my own way up to national level races. But this is not as authoritative.
One of my favorite opening lines of all time is,
"A vessel may be defined as an object that keeps water either in or out; it is the latter sort that concerns us."

Splashed my little sailboat today!
Which means it's time for advice from dumb mistakes I've made. A bonus from last year:
Always have a second boat hook onboard to grab the first one when you drop it.

First #sailing race for the season. Doublehanded with (a too light but agile) daughter. A bit too much wind on the beat for the big genoa, but still managed a second place today. Pic of friend's similar boat. #fe83 #hlkk #purjehdus
