A good mornings work on Sólmara. I made an outboard mount for the pushpit. Having the engine in a well has its advantages, but there’s no room to tilt the leg out of the water when it’s in there. Now, I can pull the engine out when berthed and avoid all the fouling and electrolysis issues.
Moved Sólmara to a new winter berth in Falmouth Marina. She’s now outside the tidal sill, which means more opportunities to sail 😁⛵️
You Must Capture Your Ideas
Capture ideas immediately in a reliable format, then review them soon so valuable thoughts aren’t lost.
As paradoxical as it sounds, going down a path and not finding a track is part of finding a track…… No action is considered a waste, and the key is to keep moving, readjusting, welcoming feedback. The ‘path of not here’ is part of the ‘path of here’.

I cross this footbridge over the River Kennall on my 🧠 Thinking Walk 🚶🏻♂️. It’s a crossing in both senses. On the far side, I’m somewhere else, in body and mind. Where do you do your best thinking?
From ‘The Art of Being Ruled’ published in 1926 - ‘Remember the machines! would be a good watchword. We are imbuing them with our own soullessness. We only have ourselves to thank if things turn out badly as a result’. - Amazingly relevant 100 years later eh?
Quarter-share in a boat anyone? Joking apart, a sad end to what, in her day, would have been a lovely vessel.
Getting some much needed air through Sólmara’s cabin. She’s been neglected again of late. I need to get her out sailing again soon.
