Boy looking confused asking “you guys get haircuts?”

I have a laundry list of complaints about spring camp so…

Haven’t posted in a while. Stuffs been weird and “gestures at the world”

I ride so hard for their first five albums. The sixth is pretty dang solid and it gets a little spottier from there, but they still can cook up the occasional banger.

I hadn't listened to Nemophila much since Saki left, but fixing that today: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCFx...

I’d forgotten how much I enjoy seeing dolphins hang out around the boat.

TIL templ - thanks! I was doing that by hand 😀

I did a little app for the boat using htmx and websockets. It didn’t suck. I only do “frontend” work about once a year and seems like I have to relearn it all over again.

Misread a tide chart, so had ~ 9” under keel at low tide last evening.

Chart plotter on a sailboat showing 8.4 knots speed over water.

Double reefed and 80% jib. Top speed was just over 9 knots. Was planning on a lazy sail, but gusts were more than expected.

It always seems the folks who anchor way too close are also the same ones who have a clanging halyard and a portable generator on deck.

My biggest complaint of the new Whitechapel album is it’s just unrelenting. No time to catch your breath. A full album of deathcore turned up to 11. You kinda get numb to it.

Starship, not Falcon 9. I think.

Some unexpected fireworks.

Rocky beach with breaking waves in distance.

Sun shade set up on sandbar that emerges at low tide.

Georgetown really isn’t my style, but the beach and sandbar are pretty nice.

Sunset over the ocean.

A quick after work sail turned a bit stressful: one of the lazy jacks broke and the jib furler jammed up at the same time.

Iguana on a beach

Once these iguanas saw we had no food, they didn’t care. Endangered rock iguanas in the Exumas.

Not a great day. Ran aground where two charts said 8 feet of water. So here’s the new Whitechapel youtu.be/Ca1ZwkWUo-o?...

If I had to choose, I'd say this is my current favorite song. Not the best, not historic or anything, just what I consider my personal favorite right this minute. The whole album is good - in my top 10.

Had laundry done and bought a bottle of gin and of rum at a laundromat/bar/liquor store.

Full moon over a bay with sailboats.

Why, look at the moon.

Beach with rocks and blue water. Shroud Cay, Bahamas.

Fairly uneventful last few days. That’s a good thing. Dreading dealing with the boom/mast issue, so having a beach day instead.
