@BlackAzizAnansi Mario Andretti actually replied and said “thank you” when I complimented his Christmas tree.

@adama it has outriggers, it’s effectively a trimaran. So no need to add weight.

@rodhilton I can see why people are interested in this stuff and end up getting lost in it.

Why do Filipino sailing bancas feel so fast? This is why. They are a knife!

@vitaminsludge@mastodon.ie hehe… weirdly I’m not to afraid of sharks. If I gotta go doing something I love I gotta go. 😄

What did I do in #Boracay ? This! Every single day.

Boracay isn’t all tourist hell, there are more remote normal beaches 😄

@freemo economics. By adding an increasing number of useless features to the product you can market to the consumer a product that’s “improving” and thus has an ever increasing price, even if it’s really not improving in any meaningful way.

@freemo I’m travelling and I’m struggling to find spare safety razors. The normal kind! I can’t stand the whole in one one billion blades type things.

I have enough practise now that I’m going to be exploring British inland waters more often.

I’ve started my day with an hour of paddle boarding every morning for the last 3 days. I wish I could do more but sadly I have to leave the #beach 😔 I’m ready for active retirement now.

Cool basketball #arcade game in the #Philippines

@adama I’m told it was partly owned by Germans, that the changes that Duterte made to Boracay to try and make it more picturesque and clean it up also affected the economy badly and this hotel was one of the victims. That the double effect of the Duterte rules + the pandemic took it under. The front is currently being unofficially used by local people to serve food to tourists. I had lunch there, was great! All window frames and door seem to have been stolen.
