Taken a few hours ago.

Many yachts have completed , others will be out on the water for a while longer yet.

My husband has now got hundreds of shots to go through. It was tricky today as waiting for the light to hit and some yachts to be in a pleasing position took a great deal of time. Far easier when you can plan a shot, rather than having to go with whatever the weather and the occasion throws at you!

New - been here since 2018 across various instances.
I’m Shauny, from the UK but we travel a lot, I’m gay, married, and in my 30s 🏳️‍🌈

I love technology! Used to run a small web development company but retired super early. Now I just do a little bit for charity plus hobby work (building a website).

I like to try and keep fit by running and attempting to lift weights, I can sail a boat but can’t drive a car, I love TV & movies (mostly Sci-Fi, fantasy and horror). I also love LEGO and board games.
I’m gay, pro trans, pro choice, left wing, feminist, anti-capitalist & vegan. Do I just like being difficult? 😂

Good morning ! This is GBH News bringing you the world from . It's 70F at Logan Airport and the Air Quality Index is 42 (good).

Orcas disrupted a boat race in Spain in what researchers call
"puzzling behavior."

Riders in the Tour De won't be automatically disqualified for a positive test.

A new wave of smoke from wildfires in is blanketing the U.S. midwest, triggering air quality alerts.

Sailing in Aruba ©Debra Martz It was early evening, about 6:15pm, while I watched the tourist load onto Rumba. I was a bit jealous that we would not be in port long enough to head out on what would be a sunset sailing trip. Such a beautiful and colorful scene with blue water and sky, and bright red and white sailboat.

This particular group (I don't know anything about sailing, so apologies to those that do) caught my husband's attention because of the red jackets of the crew, giving a small splash of colour to the image.

A friend of mine has been across the Pacific in a small boat. He arrived at the Marquesas. Frankly, it seemed like a really boring trip. Not for me.

Web search is failing me, again.

Looking for anyone who's been a passenger on a tall ship (any sailing ship with at least two square-rigged masts) to answer a basic question about the experience for and purposes.

Boosts appreciated for reach!

I'm very curious exactly what makes these boats anchored "illegally". As far as I can tell, the main issue is that they are anchored directly off shore of a golf course. Anchored while ugly. What a heinous crime - it must be stopped immediately!

I've modified my sailboat trailer to connect our tag-along/tow-behind kids trailer.

It connects much more easily than the old hitch and isn't damaging my rear rack anymore. It's honestly amazing that we happened to have a bike trailer that we weren't using anymore that fit almost perfectly into the trailer frame.

Two days ago my wife put this right in front of me. It means it‘s time for the traditional gingerbread sail. The signals for the end of the season are getting stronger…

boat is out of the water, winterizing in progress!

  • filled fuel tank
  • emptied septic and water tank
  • bottom cleaned
  • bilge pumped empty
  • Glycol fed into the saltwater system
  • removed propeller

Will hopefully find time to put a tarp on top soon.
Am I missing something?

Didn't get enough sleep to do coding, so I'm switching hats and started working on some art using , just to see how long it will take me. Here's a ship, a carrack to be precise, made in about 2 hours.
Edit: any feedback is very welcome!
