This is the idea for a call to every #captain, #crew, #boater, #mariner, #rescuer, #sailor, #diver underway in the wider area of the #Skagerrak to seek for signs of a #humpbackwhale, take photographs at best, and send serious hints, photos, and data (include your position) to the Ministry of the #Environment of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania:

Domani: Lezioni di stile da Hemingway. Ora il caso Garlasco è kafkiano
Conrad diceva che la scrittura ideale è l’Avviso ai naviganti. Il bollettino di corsa dei cavalli è meglio ancora. I nuovi sviluppi sul delitto di Chiara Poggi, su Sempio e Stasi, fanno venire alla mente Il processo di Kafka
Style lessons from Hemingway. Now the Garlasco case is Kafkaesque.
Conrad said that the ideal writing is *The Mariner’s Warning*. The racing form is even better. The new developments regarding the murder of Chiara Poggi, on Sempio and Stasi, bring to mind Kafka’s *Trial*.

Talking to a fellow traveler here about hand-drawn charts from the 50s. It got me thinking about 'digital drift.' We trust our GPS to the inch these days, but I still keep a physical compass and a paper backup on the bridge.
To the sailors and tech folks on here: what’s the one piece of 'analog' gear you’ll never strip off your boat (or out of your life)?
