 Galway Blazer II, an unconventional junk-rigged schooner designed by English naval architect Angus Primrose and built at Souter’s, in Cowes, Isle of Wight, in 1967, for a much-decorated wartime submarine commander, Bill King, who intended to sail her alone around the world. Total Modal: A category of rewrite rules that must always have more terms in the left-hand side, than on the right-hand side. When found to be the only type of rules in a program, it makes up for a non-turing complete program that will always terminate. For example, where "swap" is the fuel: <> (swap ?x ?y) (?y ?x) Up before every sunrise, not much time to take the computer out of the chart table, drifting in many fjords through countless snow-covered mountains, taking too many photos. A modern take on the traditional Chinese trading junk: the 48.5-foot K’ung Fu-Tse, designed by the late Thomas Colvin and built of aluminium. Colvin lived aboard the junk with his family and from 1973 to 1989, sailed her more than 75.000 sea miles.   @ccohanlon I love your aquatic vessel build posts. Just really freakin love them. I always save the schematic view and mildly daydream about building similar things for the next few days. Thank you for that joy. Sailing through the thick diesel plume and violent wake of a cruise ship. An hour after it has passed, the air still burns our lungs, and a 10m high yellow fog covers the strait from coast to coast. Fuck the cruise ships industry and everyone aboard.

 @neauoire If it were diesel that would be bad enough. It's a demonic sludge called bunker fuel, which is basically one small step away from tar and has to be heated in order to be pumped from the tanks to the engines. Nothing in that plume is good to breathe.

 @neauoire what are the chances they responsibly disposed of the refrigerant prior to chucking it in the sea? From Forward Harbor to Port Neville in Johnstone Strait (B.C., Canada), we must have tacked 25 times in total to get here. The wind was good, 17-23 knots, but in your face. The whole of Johnstone Strait is wind in your face. I am super beat. We encountered two pods of orcas though! They surfaced close both times, we got a really good look at them. The first pod had a baby :>.... :orca: When you sail off the beaten path and the ferry lines, you can see moutains like this one, which has a bad case of "the humans".  I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as UXN, is in fact, UXN/Varvara, or as I've recently taken to calling it, UXN plus Varvara. UXN is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning UXN system "A cougar killed our dog on the beach, but great holding and beautiful sights. 4/5 Stars" The most psychotic community edit on the chart that I've ever seen.  @neauoire what's a community edit on a chart? Like a nautical chart? Is it an online thing?

Wandering activists and poets, George and Mary Oppen, aboard the small boat they lived on in the 1930s. (Re)reading Mary Oppen's Meaning A Life at the moment. At the edge of the reception of the last cell tower, grabbing satphone and weather files servers manuals before going dark.
