@reverseics@infosec.exchange Me, looking at what's likely the third straight week of having races on the Potomac River scrubbed due to typical East Coast evening storm patterns: i wish summer was shorter. #sailing

Hämähäkki, spider Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive
Aluksen hämähäkki Kaarina ei tykkää kun purjehditaan. Silloin otetaan puomipeite pois ja päiväunet keskeytyvät. Kaarina viettää päivät pakatun isopurjeen laskoksissa. Hän on vaarassa pudota mereen kun isopurje nostetaan, mutta hänellä vaikuttaa olevan aika toimiva turvaköysisysteemi. #kansanvene #puuvene #hämähäkki #ötökät #purjehdus #folkboat #woodenboat #sailing #spider #arachnidsofmastodon

I like that our spinnaker is always smiling! Making 3 knots towards east. I dropped the family off in Hanko and continue alone, same as last year. Not sure where I will stop today, so far it's very pleasant in the sun 😎 #sailing

Weee, 10 knots! Wind 22 kn. 5 minutes later accidental jibe when wind shifted 60 + degrees. No harm done. #sailing

"The Wreck of the Mentor: A True Story of Death, Despair, and Deliverance in the Age of Sail" by Eric Jay Dolin. My rating: 4 out of 5 stars. Published in 2026. Book description: This is the story of the American whaleship Mentor, wrecked in 1832 on a remote reef in the western Pacific. With supplies dwindling, the eleven surviving crewmen face not only the miseries of shipwreck in unfamiliar territory but also the profound uncertainty of contact with the Indigenous people of the Micronesian archipelago of Palau. In this gripping saga of cultural collision, tribal wars, and dashed hopes, award–winning historian Eric Jay Dolin vividly reconstructs the Mentor’s doomed voyage, the years of perilous captivity, and the delicate negotiations and fraught naval rescue mission that followed. #nonfiction #history #sailing #captivity #books @bookstodon@fedigroups.social

That's it. I had to pull the breaks. Ending my #sailing season and putting the boat back on my trailer. Because of water shortage in lake constance. Let me show you … 1/n

Forecast for today was a bit windy, 8-12m/s. At first we didn't feel it between the islands, but later we were quick to put in the second reef. After 15nm we are now at a small island called Birsskär, with very nice protection from the southerly wind. If weather is as forecast with even more wind tomorrow, we might stay another night #sailing

Finally got the boat up on stands, but not before damaging the hull in the process 😭 not just a scratch; a full-on crack in the hull. We won't get getting out on the water this season. Sigh. Next thing to do- get the giant log we prepped to put under the weighted part of the keel, under it so we aren't depending on those old bottle jacks. I'm just glad we made it this far. #sailing #sailboat #svpriscilla #precisionsailboats #trailersailer

If you like boats, sailing and nature, an hour watching Maya and Aladino sail from Vancouver to Prince Rupert (about the full Canadian west coast, inland route) could be well spent. Well filmed, edited and narrated, worth a big screen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skzAOGzwjCw #sailing #nature #boating

My Dad sent me this, it's my Aunt and Uncle on their boat, the Barnestormer, heading to the race. I assume from Dad's comment "headed to victory" that they won, which is not uncommon. They have been racing for ...55 years? I have no interest in racing, I'm basically a hobbit on my boat, I used to take her out and just make tea and sit around waiting for wind to appear. World's Laziest Sailor. The fastest I'd move was to get out of other peoples' way, lol. I could never be bothered to acquire a spinnaker, but they sure are pretty (the billowy sail out in front). #sailing

What a SHIT day: first a bird drops shit on my head, then the boat toilet is clogged and needs complete disassembly 😂 Still not a bad day, we have been #sailing in very nice weather in the morning! Now in Korpoström, funnily enough the same place I fixed our clogged toilet last year.. What's that funny boat in the second picture?

I made a picture for you, Grey in Grey, hope you like it.. See is flat as f* once again, yay motoring for 6 hours. Oh well, at least it's relaxing with autopilot? Let's hope the wind comes back 😄 " #sailing "
