~ boat updates ~

- we sailed to trinidad two days ago, good timing to escape main path of hurricane beryl - “third earliest major hurricane to ever form in the Atlantic” - :(
- where we’re anchored now is under tropical storm warning, hopefully all will be fine
- picked up hitchhiking french couple, been nice to have more friends on the boat
- working on boat projects, like repairing the jib’s frayed sunbrella
- weve all been practicing spanish to prepare for a journey 2 columbia >:)

today i swam around shipwrecks : watched thousands of tiny fish in schools like streams twisting in and around rusty ship decay

these are the main buses used by every1 to get around, schoolkids to grandmas. every single driver blasts soca music + drives like maniac

themed vans I saw 2day:

Hot girls in bikinis
Anime samurai
“God is real” on windshield
Monopoly man gangster
Joker smoking cigar
“I don’t want peace I want problems”
“She love to suck and swallow” small text on back of bus
“Status taxi” graffiti letters
“Business machine #mytoy

further experiments in cooking with seaweed (sargassum fulvellum). this time cooked with butter, onion, garlic, paprika, ginger, pepper, mirin, salt water.
needs a long time cooking to break down the toughness of the plant, but overall result is : delicious. great. very healthy tasting

article on health benefits of the plant : ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/

Text describing Sargassum fulvellum, a type of brown seaweed distributed in Korean, Chinese, and Japanese coasts, detailing its nutritional content and its use in salads, soups, and traditional medicine.

refill the water tank is a favorite boat task.
think it satisfies some primal urge to collect water in jugs from some found source (natural spring, fish market, water spout at a bar…)

still the best spot on the boat

(@ sunset, leaving martinique last night)

A person's legs are visible on the deck of a sailboat with the ocean in the background. The sail is hoisted, and there's nautical equipment around. The person is holding onto part of the boat, and the sea is choppy

@lake I can't decide between the end of the jib-boom or atop the skysail yard.
