No way man. Nobody wants to get sick, and nobody wants to get other people sick. By all means keep wearing yours - everyone assumes you have a good reason; maybe you are sick or caring for someone who is especially vulnerable. Masks work just fine. Indeed, they will probably always be worn in...

Rigatoni Pasta, sausage and vodka sauce. Cook it on land and reheat in the boat's oven. Really fills up the tank and its fairly easy to keep down.

It's already hard to get parts for inboard diesels. As the market shrinks further, it's just going to get more difficult. Someone recently stole the parts off my buddy's engine block and it basically totalled his boat (he did eventually fix it). I was looking into gasoline vs. electric for my...

A short update: you aren't rid of me yet. Thank you all for your advice and, uhh... kind words.

great driving though. I think i'd want a tug in those close quarters. And yea, fuck those peasants, amirite?

Interesting stuff, for certain definitions of interesting. 50/100,000 hospitalizations is probably about right, but I would point out that there is no mention of deaths - partly, I think, because the death rate is so low in young people that you can't really apply statistics. We have this...

Can't rule it out at this point, sure. It seems to be a real thing. We've got literally millions of records, and its still hard to paint a clear picture. I could be mistaken but I don't think there's an ICD10 code for long covid yet, which makes it harder (but not impossible) to measure. It's...

Yea, at work, cardiovascular problems are up 30% overall, 70% amongst under-21's (although still fairly rare). Strokes actually aren't up very much. Female reproductive problems are up across the board. Tumors are up 300% and cancers are way up, too. Those numbers are chump change compared to...

Yea. I'll consider myself in good company if I get banned from the royal bermuda yacht club but If I don't face these people they will just escalate and try and ban me from everything.

Wed 6th.

Yea I went last year too, what a slog that was! We tested in the morning and were cleared by the evening. On the island nodoby cared about covid. My issue was not with the bermuda officials but with the race officials. I'll post it eventually but it would be foolish to give them a sneak peak...

This would get you fired at my hospital. I'm not a fan of punishing people for opinions expressed on the internet, but holy moly man.

It got postponed.

This looks pretty clever, actually. The sticker price is a bit high for software, but with such a small market of potential buyers, I think we are lucky to get this at all. It's not obvious from the web page how it talks to your instruments, or what instruments you need. I think i'll give it a...

It's cool that you watched them - I wasnt going to write all that out. To be honest I think a lot of people did as the megaphone said because it was holding their vacations hostage.

You can definitely do it. There's like a hundred boats. I'm probably a bit older than you, I just like zoomer memes. If you want to get into it, the best way to start is with Wed. night racing. Find the closest Yacht Club on google maps and go there at 6pm; It's perfectly acceptable to just...

Alas I did not do the race. The boat I was on did, though. No matter how this all ends up, at minimum i'll give the next few NBR's a pass. The thread has been.. well.. it's been SA... but it's also been pretty informative.

Certainly it is - who want's to die? It just shoudn't be the primary issue. Sailing is inherently dangerous, and being on the ocean is one of the few things you can still do to actually exercise your courage (not that it's dangerous most of the time). For the last few years, I've found...

Obviously I have my own story, but it's not really important at the moment. As to why?
