Leave a leaf, take a leaf QRP with a leaf! 🍁 #LeafPosting 🌿🖋️

MOTION ALERT: KITCHEN

doin a little tour of the Al'Ankh archipelago before I head back north. here's some cool towns and islands Old Ankh Town, very harrowing to navigate in a huge ship. very cool to walk through though.

I identify as leave me alone

unless you look like this you are going to have to keep it to yourselves, fellas

beep beep excuse me ineffectual tiny ships, huge virile man coming through

Nobody Has Feelings of Any Kind for Raymond

goin on down to Fire Fish Lagoon and the sails are lookin crazy it's a newer addition to the game and not on a map so you just get some coordinates and figure it out apparently it's ~mysterious~

pulled up to the Farm Island (Sage Hills) HUNGIE ready to dine on some fresh local produce and or seafood they have no restaurants! windchimes, sure, that's cool I'll get those never seen those before. Idyll? yeah dude we got idyll. no food. people don't know how to live. bye

here go

snake is bb

new sail plan, very expensive, sucks shit

Working on an old butterfly extending table I found on the side of the road that's been badly repaired a number of times. I pulled a bunch of seemingly hand-forges nails out of it 👀. Unless there are faux hand forged nails and this is an affection

running from Al'Ankh to Aestrin, I'm making a stop at a teeny spot called Oasis along the way to pick up some additional cargo. it's low-lying, so very difficult to spot on the open sea. fortunately, they've recently constructed a lighthouse...

hello art vendor i'd like to buy a painting the odd biomechanical whale wreck? only 229 lions. no? a ship in the local style at harbor, this very harbor? a mere 306 lions, sir, an investment, surely no, nothing?

found near the crime scene, this is being entered as evidence of ideological motivation

can we handle full sail with the wind raking over the deck at 90 degrees? technically, yes. you will see the water only REACHES the gunwales, and does not flood over them.

Much like the orca whale, who for all their virtues will win no foot races among the animal kingdom, humankind is a singularly poor assessor of danger

you may be asking yourself: does it feel really good to do this?

Love it when a recipe says you can omit or substitute something if you want. Bold of you to assume I was waiting for you permission to do anything, text. I can do whatever I want.

no, i have gotten enough john scalzi thank you

excuse me there's some mistake, I was going to use those several thousand crowns to buy cargo racks

doing small local jobs to rebuild funds depleted by Big Boat

Another refinish done. Still in the stage where I feel good about it This one was in rough shape under that thick old varnish

All Is Lost is not like a top ten movie or anything, but it is best in class at examining the masculine urge to look at any activity, say "how hard could it be?" and eat absolute shit

The winds hold, though they don't blow hard for several days. Eventually, the sea returns to the familiar steel-gray of the northern latitudes. (the lights dim, an image of the ocean appears on screen. the crowd goes absolutely apeshit, chanting "wine-dark sea! wine-dark sea! wine-dark sea!")

I can physically feel myself becoming a weird old person I care very much about having the theatrical cuts of the lotr movies in a high quality and this requires a whole infrastructure in my home. There is an accompanying palpable sensation to this realization.

reskeet with your mental state

The wind is very cooperative for this crossing, going NNE. With the seas calm enough, I can open up the sails all the way quite comfortably.

hello, Al'Ankh

I believe we can convert to a 100% Thinking About Boats economy by 2027 Going west, bit by bit the oceans change

Goblin!

Black crowned night heron? P sure #bird

Sorry dude your coat is out of control!!

pretty dramatic this place is cool tho

gonna turn out trump beat covid with a massive adrenochrome infusion

Of all the skills I resolutely refuse to adopt or learn, I refuse to learn to be likable more than anything else.

hey is that -- ? I'VE GOT MAIL FOR YOU CUNTS!

not effective, kitten

A rare moment of the wind cooperating. Mainsail down and fly along.

my son says he wishes we played like the bluey family because they all laugh together so i says to him i says: kid, we can play the games but we're all still going to have depression! 🤣🤣

mental WELLNESS :) :)

hey fuck you dude!

Sailwind! If you accidentally press C instead of Ctrl to duck under something, you will discover, as I did, Boat Person View

My scorching hot take is that this, BY ITSELF, isn't bad. A kid needs to know their letters and numbers by the end of kindergarten (5-6), and should be reading chapter books by the end of second grade (7-8). If a kid is slightly behind, that is in fact okay.

Caves of Qud

sometimes you can feel or see that something bad is coming

Sailwind update: I've got some pretty clear readings that I'm at ~37N, 5E, which is already farther east than I want to be. the winds have held fairly steady NE so I can't just go directly south. I'll need to hold SE until I'm around 34N and then cut back NW to hopefully hit the little island I want
