When we cross the Strait of Georgia, we usually exit out of Gabriola Pass and overnight in Silva Bay to take the next day's favorable wind, but yesterday we left from Porlier and shot across to Smuggler's Cove on the Sunshine Coast, a 37 nm long sail. I'm keeping a very detailed log of our travels, complete with silly drawings. Just released the list of changes and updates to the Hundred Rabbits projects for April 2024. A day late because we are on the move, yesterday was a busy day on the water. Pino is heading northward! The boat is now full of food! Instead of doing one big supply run(friends often offer car rides), Dev & I do frequent grocery runs by bike. We've been doing this for a few weeks now. We can carry a lot at once. A few days ago I had 12 kg of grains on my back. Doing it this way takes more time, sure, but it permits us to go for a bike ride often, which is nice :> 🚲 ! @rek yes there is that myth that one would need at least a cargo bike to replace a car but you can already carry a lot with a simple rear rack rated for 25kg and decent panniers. Add to that an hiking backpack, possibly a front rack or basket and you can carry even more. And it scales automatically with the people going with you, unlike when using a motorized vehicle. Last minute pickling in progress! Now all ours jars are full, we are ready for summer! Processed 2.5 kg of cabbage plus about 1 kg of turnips and beets, filling 6 jars (2x1L plus 4x500ml). @JulianOliver Found it. A project of photographer Eric Pickersgill: https://qz.com/523746/a-photographer-edits-out-our-smartphones-to-show-our-strange-and-lonely-new-world and https://www.removed.social/series Since its release in 2021, we have sold 1404 copies of Busy Doing Nothing (digital + paperback). This is amazing, especially for something that was self-published and that wasn't distributed through a big online store :moomin_sparkles:

Our old chainplates are still useful! A machinist cut them down and made two new bolt holes for us :>! Now they're helping to reenforce the wall connection (when we bought Pino in 2016 there was a lot of dry rot around two of the upper bolt holes, one on each side). Grinding some wheat berries~! The plan is to use the flour to make pancakes tomorrow morning, and then pizza the day after. I reviewed and updated all of the linked documents in the 2019 Sailing in Japan guide on 100r.co There was a lot of dead or broken links, such is the nature of the internet.  The REIWA-125 is a box cart made from tiger-spotted bamboo. (A box cart is a handmade car that does not have an engine and runs solely on gravity.) This was made by Taketora, a company in Japan that makes everything out of bamboo. This box car was made to commemorate Taketora's 125th year anniversary(in 2019), and to participate in a race in Spain. They like to participate in events to teach the world about the usefulness of bamboo. Even more impressive, is that they produced all-bamboo armor for the driver(and owner/artisan of Taketora), Yoshihiro Yamagishi, for the event. I try and get a bit of drawing in every evening, this short comic sequence is slowly coming together~ :neofox_comfy__w_:
