Kid Rek would be so impressed that I can draw hands now.

"You mean... you don't hide the hands behind a character's back, have them cross their arms over their chests, or have them wear mittens?!" :moomin_sparkles:

On a boat, saying that a project is going to be easy is like casting a curse on said project.

Started compiling notes about the DIY carbonation system we now have aboard our boat. The page also documents our previous system.

I plan to add more pictures, and details (+ drawings of how everything connects to each other, etc).

The term "man cave" needs to freakin' die :goose_honk:

Using a canning ring and seal to make a rice burger bun.

Step 1: pack the freshly-cooked sushi rice in a canning ring.
Step 2: put the seal of the canning ring overtop, and press down to compress the rice.
Step 3: Peel the seal off, and then flip the ring (and rice bun) so the edge is up on top. Then, gently, using the back of a spoon, push the rice patty out the ring.
Step 4: Voila! Pan-fry buns to add some crunch, repeat steps for more buns!

Today's lunch:
Beet sauce pasta and some sauerkraut we prepared last fall.

Almost missed the ferry. Arrived on Galiano Island, was greeted by the cutest baby pug... and now we're at the LEÑA artist residency. There is still snow on the ground here... what a beautiful place.
We'll be here for a few days. Very grateful that me and & Dev were invited to stay :>!

When you flip a drawing horizonzally, and all of the wonkiness comes out, leaving you feeling like you don't really know how to draw after all.

Watched All That Breathes yesterday. An excellent, heartwrenching, and picturesque documentary.

It follows the brothers Saud and Nadeem, with Salik, as they rescue and heal black kites in Delhi. The birds fall out of the sky everyday, possibly due to bad air quality, and from the contaminants ingested at the city's landfills.

"Delhi is a gaping wound," Saud says, "and we're just a Band-Aid on it." And yet, they continue to do it.

*reads cake recipe*

First line: "Pour ready-made cake mix into pan..."

... 😑

Last year I started keeping a hand-drawn calendar. When 2022 was over I bound all the pages together with thread :>.

It's really fun to look through, a good way to see what happened and when. When we're sailing I usually write where we are, notable things we did that day, and add notes on weather.

With this, I can compare what conditions were like on that same day, in another year.

We see peafowl almost everyday here in Beacon Hill Park (they roam freely), but yesterday we saw the peacocks courting peahens for the very first time, with their tail trains all fanned out.

They stand in front of the peahens, and then start spinning, while 'rattlling' their fan tail, moving their wings to show off their golden color.

It is very impressive.

Ginger paradise 😍

At the very southern end of Victoria(BC), you can walk all along the log-strewn beach. You can usually log-skip for a long while. During times of the year where there is less driftwood, walking on the stone beach is also nice (love the sound of waves retreating from a stone beach).
Parts of the shore is lined with rocky walls, and some bits can be challenging to cross (esp at high tide), but it's a good way to fight restlessness.
Thankful to have this place just a short walk away :>

Added back some of the corrected chapters(1-7) for Wiktopher online. Still correcting chapters 8-16. 🏜️ ⛵
