Didn't get enough sleep to do coding, so I'm switching #gamedev hats and started working on some art using #blender3d, just to see how long it will take me. Here's a #sailing ship, a carrack to be precise, made in about 2 hours.
Edit: any feedback is very welcome!
There comes a point when we can eat no more because our bodies simply must have time to digest what we have taken in.
So it is with knowledge, or what passes for knowledge, or facts, or "news," -- there comes a point when we must stop ingesting and take time to review and ponder over, analyze and question, think upon and contemplate what we have taken in.
@brad We do! Here's a federated Magazine from @mike: @classic and the profile from American Sailing: @AmericanSailing. We'll let the product know that there's an appetite for more sailing on Mastodon, and in the meantime if you're a Flipboard user, you can check out our #Sailing topic.
We don't always have to be in the thick of things, in the midst of all the action. Sometimes, many times, it's good to step far enough away that you get a different perspective.
Exciting #sailing day on the water, but any day you're on the radio with Coast Guard is exciting. Happily, it was more exciting for somebody else and we were merely standing by to render assistance. Didn't finish the race, but we didn't break anything, didn't lose anyone.
Back down the lake, our club's education director was missing for half an hour, but had been picked up by a jet ski almost immediately. She was safe, the person we assisted was safe, and we got in a pre cold front sail.

They all had something to do, and each valued the contributions of the others.
And because they were friends, they listened as much as they spoke, and even if they disagreed on issues, it didn't stop them from working together toward the common goal of moving that boat forward and enjoying the day.
The race – first established in 1984 – is for teams of hill runners and sailors over a long weekend around the west coast of Scotland.
The sailing course is 160 nautical miles and includes the tides and overfalls of the Corryvreckan and the Mull of Kintyre. Runners travel 60 miles and compete in 11,500 ft of climbing.
Good morning 🌄
Fantastic news to start this fab Friday with 😀
I got into a new para #dragonboating#PilotProgram. It's a 7-week program starting April 6, leading to the Super Sprints Festival May 26, on the Gorge waterway. Training with head coach of the Canadian Para Dragon Boat team.
2nd good news piece is I'm able to get back to #DisabledSailing lessons this year too. I was with DSA several years ago. I need to start anew again because it's been too long since I got my White Sails certification levels. DSA lost our homebase when Naden expanded navy infrastructure. We'd shared dock with Canadian Forces #sailing assn for years prior to covid. They kicked us out, during covid. I'll be taking lessons from Able Sail Victoria, running out of Oak Bay marina.
This large #ship has run aground - as well as calling PAN PAN on the radio to alert the Coastguard / Harbourmaster and other vessels, as a visual signal 3 balls are displayed on the front mast (this is to the left of the picture). If the vessel cannot be steered, 2 balls are displayed.
This is why in #Britain when something has gone badly wrong, we often say there has been a "total balls up" 😁
