Elizabeth May making sense in Canada, EBM with some scary profit thinking, and the word for today is collaborator… I’m often accused of being a Luddite where navigation is concerned. Sure I use GPS but I just don’t trust anything electric on a boat 100% because, you know, shit happens. I’ll admit I’m very interested …
Stacey being heard, some Panama canal backstory, and something from the “war on science” department… I’m often confronted with the whole “you have to use this expensive marine part” rant and, so much so, I find myself even believing it from time to time. Case in point was yesterday when a connection on a solar …
Not a bad idea, a needful read, and a story from the past… I had great plans for yesterday and woke up with the resolve to strike a few lines off the to-do list. But, as it happens, it rained and all my plans with it. So it does go. On the upside, I no …
A needful read, Dave Z opines on plywood boat building, and Trinidad declares a state of emergency… Yeah, interesting times and it’s only day two into 2025 but I’m already avoiding my daily scan of the news. Time to get to doing.
Some thawing permafrost news, a pretty solid NO, and in the “Cruising is a politics-exempt activity” department… Here’s hoping everyone has a most excellent Pagan-derived Holidaze! More adventures in VolksCruiserland to come in 2025!
Some good news from Montana, a needful read, and in the “Wage theft should have consequences” department… Being a person who hates to spend money in general and is always looking for ways to spend less, I seldom look forward to buying stuff for the boat. The fact that is I find shopping a horrid …
Some navigational goodness, LGM on the “Manosphere”, and in the “I guess they forgot to include Polio” department… Yann just doing what we all do. The pleasure of working on your boat in exotic places…
Some news that made my heart soar, Krugman making some points, and in the “This explains a lot” department… So, it appears that we are still living in “interesting” times and all the clusterfuckery that it brings to the Holidaze and New Year. Which, these days, is just SNAFU. So it does go. Anyway, I …
EBM with a needful link, Krugman on Crypto, and something from the “Instant Karma” department… In a world where most cruising articles ignore the real to concentrate more on the consumer side of things, it’s nice when you find an article that is based on common sense. 48° North with “A Quick Jump to Cruising” …
Ecocide is today’s word, USPS RIP, and in the “Longish reads that are spot on” department… When reading a certain forum that shall remain nameless, I’m often confronted with the surfeit of negative posts that are just saying no, you can’t do something. While I’ll admit that there are any number of folks who should …
