I send thanks to the buyer from the United Kingdom who purchased an art print of
Sailing on the Sound -- https://2-steve-henderson.pixels.com/featured/sailing-on-the-sound-steve-henderson.html?product=art-print
May the artwork take you to a place of gentle peace and quiet calm, as you adventure and travel through life.

@mlanger@mastodon.worldDo It Now was airlifted into Bellingham Bay this afternoon. It's now parked at its new summer home.
The water had 2 to 3 foot swells, but we only had to go about 2 miles to get behind the breakwater at Squalicum Marina. It was nice to be back at the helm, even for so short a time.

I'm below the Macclesfield canal breach on the Trent & Mersey. Between the breach and me are 12 locks plus the stop lock where the Macclesfield joins the Trent & Mersey.
A #StopLock was to collect tolls at the #junction of canals of different owners. For example, Gas Street Basin had a stop #lock where an act of UK parliament forced a junction. For 20 years, Birmingham Canal Network had refused access to Worcester & Birmingham #canal, so goods had to switch boats over 65 feet of land!
The Macclesfield Canal has broken through its bank. This is called a breech. Or is it spelled breach?
It's pants either way.
(That's a pun only Brits and Aussies will understand. Breeches are a type of trousers. The expression "it's pants" means "it's unpleasant". A breach is a rupture.)
For comparison, last year's Lancaster breach cost £1,600,000 to repair.

canalrivertrust.org.ukI have been quite happy with /e/os on my #fairphone #FP3 the last few years - but it is beginning to deteriorate lately, with more and more apps not being able to run. #mobilepay for one, but now also #garmin #navionics #boating - since last update it will not show my location, it keeps asking for permission - which it already have. I can downgrade for now, but it is not really a viable solution I believe. So what to do? I really dislike the idea of having to install #google play services :(
I believe we really need an alternative #mobile os. A truely google free android would be fine with me for now, while a more navtive #linux becomes feasible and commercial/public app providers realizes that there is a need for #flatpak releases.
@mlanger@mastodon.worldIf anyone is interested in joining me and just one other student (so far) for a 5-day powerboat "Learn and Cruise" around the San Juan Islands, you can learn more here: https://sanjuanyachting.com/instruction-power/power-cruising-and-seamanship.html
The class I'm teaching starts May 15. It'll cover all the basics of boat handling, navigation, trip planning, etc. What a great way to learn about boating while cruising the amazing San Juan Islands! #boating #SanJuanIslands

@mlanger@mastodon.worldWashing out the storage lockers under my boat's aft deck has reminded me:
-Metal cans rust
- Drips from oil bottle caps get sticky
- My dogs shed
I took a break for lunch, but will get bad to it shortly. When I'm done I hope I have enough steam left to wash the aft deck. 
@mlanger@mastodon.worldWhile using the Internet to determine whether lockmaster -- the person who controls a lock on a waterway -- is one word or two (it's one), I stumbled upon this great info piece about going through inland waterway locks (which happens to be what I'm writing about now):
