We were in Bath this weekend for the Victorian ball. It was like living in a 1880s fairytale.

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:

Wish I had a good answer to that one. Being a #boater I have never tried actually seeing the #Broads by land. Places like #Wroxham and #Horning have plenty of possibilities for #riverside views but not broads.

Most Broads have edges too soggy to have roads near them and most of the banks are in private hands or the hands of organisations such as the #NationalTrust and #Norfolk #Wildlife Trust, whose priorities do not to encourage unencumbered access by the masses.

Malthouse Broad, near Ranworth, must be one of the best exceptions. I've never tried to reach Salhouse or Wroxham by road, but the owner of the first offers moorings which are accessible from a car park some 800yds away and it's probably possible to explore the grounds around the sailing club at Wroxham Broad.

If you don't mind being part of a party then the #NWT do have guided walks at #Hickling.

More birthday prep-

I decided to make myself a fancy hat! Inspired by the "boater" hats of the 1920s, the design is simple and made of just 3 circles- with one of them bent to the profile of my head.

I bent it almost entirely out of scraps- even using some donated electrodes and side tubulating it- just like they would have done in the 1920s.

Hey, I am using mercury in the production of this hat just like those mad hatters. Although I am using only one drop- dispensed with a hemetrically sealed glass and teflon injector :).

I underfilled it to just 5 torr (instead of the usual 9) so there will be less resistance and longer battery life- with the tradeoff of shorter tube life- I dont need this to last 75 years anyways :)

I might add "B-DAY" to the front if I have time.

Před 6ti lety jsem si pořídil můj @sunseeker27, tahle loď vypadala když jsem jí koupil. Spoustu vody mezitím uteklo a hodně věcí se změnilo 🙂 #boater #boating

Searchers Come up Empty-Handed in Search for Togiak Boater - Alaska Native News

On Saturday afternoon, troopers received notification from Koliganek’s VPSO that a swamped boat was located on the Nushagak River near Lewis Point. When discovered, the boat was empty and had no registration numbers to identify it. Searchers responded to the area to search for a possible boater but would not find anyone. Two days later, […]

The simple joys of #boatlife. There are few things calculated to bring more joy to a #boater's heart than the feeling of having a full water tank and an empty toilet!

Swings and Roundabouts (Listeners' Questions - 3)

There's an old and trustworthy adage on the canals: when two or more boaters meet up it is only a matter of time before the conversation will turn to the…

Nighttime on Still Waters

Tomorrow is Diana's chemotherapy session. Hopefully, the water leak will be sorted by the end of the day and we can have another go at getting to our mooring on Saturday. However, fixing the leak requires the shower tray to be lifted (probably for the first time in 45 years), so who knows how smoothly it will go.
