Looking at it I think its probably okay as it has wheels. Get a Land Cruiser to tow it about. Wooden boats can't sink on land. Nice eye candy. Caravanning. Hopefully the masts are steppable. That would be amusing, to cart it round as a 'caravan'. Anyway, who here would fancy having a little cottage on those islands... admittedly the one in the photo is a bit plain and ugly, but there are many pretty little cabins. Sunset, bottle of beer, smoke drifting from the chimney as sauna warms up... |

.People are flying in and out every day, not to mention travelling on the Eurostar trains, and what about all the illegal benefits-scroungers still coming over every day in their dinghies from the coast of France with Border Force taxi service giving a helping hand?
Finnair's 4 planes have now returned from China to collect 'PPE' - guess what? All shit! No good for hospitals! All that aviation kerosene for nothing! The Chinese must be having a good laugh.
Finland: Chinese face masks fail tests
"A consignment of face masks and personal protection equipment (PPE) that arrived in Finland from China on Tuesday are not up to standard, according to the director of Finland’s National Emergency Supply Agency, Tomi Lounema."

"The terrifying reports that tell the truth about how lockdown ends - there will be NO return to normal: America’s top experts explain how the nation faces mass digital surveillance" - 5G!
"Gatherings of a certain size would still be banned, and remote work encouraged" - that will get rid of trades unions and workers asking for better wages and conditions!
"plans call for the construction of a vast digital surveillance system to track movements of all" - apart from those running the system, of course!
"Such a system, deployed with success in authoritarian China, would be certain to raise difficult questions about privacy and individual liberty." -
"the Chinese lack any notion of human rights, animal rights, do not follow strict pollution laws, massive government subsidies resulting in cheap and nasty products, no health & safety laws, no laws to protect the environment … absolutely fuck all in fact!
And yet strangely all the protest groups over here in the West are strangely muted when it comes to criticising China for some or all of the above. Where’s Greta? Where’s Extinction Rebellion? Where’s the Guardian & Twatter? Where’s the Wimminz groups? Where’s the effnicks groups? (you don’t see many darkies in China, why is that?)"

55 minutes ago at Kekolahti, about 8 miles from us. Another 1-hour timelapse in the bag, and another 1-hour timelapse this morning for I was up at 0420 to catch sunrise at 0535. So that makes 5 new timelapses I have, and I need 12 to make a 4-minute video.  |

Reminds me of the Rime of the Ancient mariner "Nor dim nor red, like God's own head, The glorious Sun uprist: Then all averred, I had killed the bird That brought the fog and mist. 'Twas right, said they, such birds to slay, That bring the fog and mist. The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew, The furrow followed free; We were the first that ever burst Into that silent sea. " Still have not learnt it off by heart. Must try harder  I know it's not actually a sunrise but still a similar event over water just at the other end of the day. Maybe this is a better verse "The Sun came up upon the left, Out of the sea came he! And he shone bright, and on the right Went down into the sea. " |
