Isnāt that a yearly(?) festival where tall ships from many nationalities visit some port, sorta like some antique car shows?
A few decades ago they came to my city. Many people with their crafts would ride alongside. Was quite a sight and the crowds in the port, overwhelming.
That makes sense. Surprised at the number of older looking tall ships. Really nifty.
Canāt really grasp spending years aboard something smaller heading off to parts unknown.
In Scottās hut in Antarctica, just down the path a bit from the American base at McMurdo,
There are still cans on the wall marked:
āEatable Tallow Candlesā
If itās dark, yaā burn āem. If youāre hungry āya eat āem.
Still a few dead seals stacked in the corner. Freeze dried by now.
They were made of tougher stuff than I.
The men - not the sealsā¦.
I almost yelled at the screen when he left all the laser-marks in/on the pan before just continuing on like nothing.
I restored a coupla cast-Fe pans (still using the small one for eggs practically every time I make āem), and while they werenāt so far gone, you donāt just leave āem like that.
Wire-brush to get off the main grunge. Steel wool to grind it away ātil shiny and smooth. Wipe down, wash, wash again, scour, rinseānārepeat ātil itās perfect. Then season it.
Yeesh. Like that Choinese fella who used to hang off the edges of buildings for lulz. Had āsponsorshipsā so he could pay for his mumās medical expenses or something.
Anyway, one day he just couldnāt hold his grip, couldnāt climb back up, and dropped off the side of a building. Didnāt go splat way down on the sidewalk, but like 5 stories below where he landed on a wider section of the building.
Only vague recall, canāt remember detailsā¦
Thereās that dope who rides his hoverboard just inches away from the edges of building-roofs that weāll one day read about, too.
Ah, here we goā¦
Weāre polishing up the Darwin Award, just to be prepared.
