The lunatics at the catamaran next door are diving into 55F water. #boating #YoungGuysAreNuts
Heck, on a day like this, who wouldn't want to live in a boat? #boating
Our neighbor at Cypress Island. My companion said this is the nicest spot we've stayed in. #boating #PNW #SanJuanIslands
Under way from up on the command bridge, currently in Saratoga Passage headed toward Deception Pass. Today will be my first time transiting Deception and we'll likely arrive about 15 minutes before slack. Water is glassy smooth here, light wind, no other traffic. Cruising at just 7 knots; timing is everything when going through the pass. #boating #PugetSound #PNW
Spitzen Im Bogen, Wassily Kandinsky
Fluttering Sails, Lena Gurr
I noticed these two have similarities...
I was thinking the Kandinsky one was more about abstract ideal forms, like the idea of things...
And the other one I thought about time, maybe even just one sailboat coming and going over and over, seasons coming and going, bringing in the catch of the day...
Anyway, whatever, have a good Tuesday 😁

Working out the design of a boat cradle for my SO's Adirondack guide boat. It's a bit over engineered but the idea would be to be able to use both upper support beams as a drying rack and allow the boat to be inspected, maintained, and cleaned all in one space. The straps will be made from outdoor carpet for durability and friction-less sliding against the composite hull.

I set up autopilot to take us from Bainbridge Island to Oak Harbor. It's a long, boring cruise. Now in a choppy patch of water between Whidbey and Camano Islands. 17 miles to go. I really prefer cruising less than 40 miles in a day. #boating

Still homeward bound on Seren. Today we did the remaining locks at Napton then cruiser on to Braunston. Went shopping, did 6 more locks and the Braunston tunnel before stopping near Norton Junction. Pizza for dinner, made on board with sourdough obvs. 5 miles and 7 locks to Crick wharf tomorrow then the OH will collect us by car. #BoatsThatToot #Boating #GrandUnion #Braunston
I send thanks to the buyer from Iowa who purchased a metal print of
Gone Sailing -- https://2-steve-henderson.pixels.com/featured/gone-sailing-steve-henderson.html?product=metal-print
May the artwork take you out onto the water on a perfect day, filled with sunshine, freedom, and companionship.

Q on OpenCPN. How do I get boat navigation vector maps for Päijänne-Keitele? Heard one could download from Traficom the raw data and then somehow convert it to OpenCPN format? Anyone here with experience? Or even ready-made stuff? #opencpn #päijänne #keitele #vectormaps #navigation #boat #boating

It's a good thing canal lock gates are carefully balanced, because this lets one person push them open and closed. (It can take considerable effort if a boat has unbalanced the gate by crashing into it.)
To open a gate, when water levels on both sides are equal, push the beam. It's long, so it acts as a lever that reduces the effort. The beam of a lock gate is sometimes steel, but most often oak, as pictured. This beam is particularly bulky.
Sunset at Blake Island. #boating #DoItNow #PNW #PugetSound
By some miracle, we got an overnight slip at Blake Island. It's Makers time. #boating
