I am reffitting a Classic Sailing Yacht in the San Francisco Bay for a circumnavigation! The project of a life time! Empathy, Inclusion, Kindness, Critical Thinking, and Scientific Understanding define me as a person.

I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

Severe weather through the night into the afternoon...58mph max wind gust... anxiety...and then calm drizzle as the sun snuck under the cloud layer and boom ...a brighter rainbow than I have ever seen. A reminder that storms will pass and the calm that follows is a magical thing...

Beware--there are more and more of these inauthentic accounts flooding to BlueSky now. They pose as climate doomers but are actually doing the work of polluters by attacking climate advocates and dividing the climate advocacy community. Block and report them when you encounter them:

New access panel goes on...old nasty sound tiles come off and new black clean sound tiles go on. Quite the transformation for the engine room. I am about to seal with epoxy above the new access panel and more cool sound tiles.

Super fun fancy plumbing going in! I will use this same standard for all liquids on the boat so that less vital components can be cannibalized to service vital systems in remote areas.

Engine room electrical work is going down...it's all a work in progress. The old nasty wall tiles with the little holes are going away, but they have to be scraped off into a thousand pieces...so I have to tape plastic to the wall and make a "bag" to catch it all...then epoxy.
