Of course there were things to do; there always were, and some of them could even be listed in the "important" column.
But at the moment, nothing seemed more important than standing in the yard, overlooking the bay filled with sailboats, and just letting one's mind glide from one thought to another, as if it too were sailing on the bay.
It was a good day, a quiet day, and it passed pleasantly out on the water as one literally watched the world go by.
Or more accurately, the world stayed in one place as you sailed by it.
And now, as evening approaches, it's time to think about coming back to shore, but then again, there's really no hurry about that. There's no hurry about a lot of things . . .
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.

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.
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.
