Sailing boat rescued by the Götheborg
lemmy.world Sailing boat rescued by the Götheborg | Götheborg of Sweden - Lemmy.world

I want to crew the Götheborg. >Imagine losing your rudder out at sea and sending out a distress call. And then the largest ocean-going wooden sailing ship in the world comes to your rescue. Or in the words of the sailors on the sailing boat: “This moment was very strange, and we wondered if we were ...

Tough waking up to this

Forecast had it miserably hot, but turned out to be decent. Way nicer than I was expecting.

O'Day 23-2 rafted up to a 32' Benateu, and another O'Day (272LE).

Life360 integration down?

I'm not home ATM, but it seems the Life360 integration is not working. I tried rebooting HA but no joy.

Just wondering if it's me or more wide spread

Google raising price of YouTube Premium to $13.99 per month
  • I do, and YouTube is my primary Media consumption for both video and music.

    That said, I have the family plan which went from $15-23 back a few months ago and it was difficult to keep. I actually cancelled it and used Spotify and some of the available ad-blocking apps, but ultimately didn't like Spotify, so I came back.

    If it were to go up again anytime remotely soon I'd be gone.

  • How do you strengthen your ankles?
  • If you haven't sprained/hurt them and they're sore, that sounds like they're not happy about something. Overuse, or some gear issue (shoe), but generally inflamed.

    But, to just answer your question, run on trails not the road and you'll strengthen all the lower leg muscles connected to your foot/ankle. Just remember to pick up your feet more than street running, or your gonna fall!

    P.S. you're still probably going to fall :)

    Finally starting my ASA 101 course
  • Sounds fun! While I grew up with my dad owning a sailboat (2 different ones 22 and 25') my wife had no idea how to sail.

    We took a week long liveaboard ASA (101,103,104). While she definitely learned a lot, it was on a 43' boat. Even though I can sail it was weird not having the immediate feel of the wind like I always had on smaller boats.

    But it was a fantastic week, and we were mentally ready to sell everything and move onto a sailboat :)

  • Nearly all of Evernote’s remaining staff has been laid off
  • Had an account since about 2010, looks like I stopped using it around 2016. Just logged in to see what if anything was left. A few notes, nothing important.

    Tried closing my account instead of just leaving it hanging out there and it fails. Guess I'll try later

  • Thoughts on garmin watches?
  • For normal non city running any of them should be fine. The more expensive ones will reach more satellites by supporting other non US systems like GLONASS, and GALILEO increasing accuracy by using more satellites.

    I generally use just gps on my Fenix 6x Pro. Unless I'm running in thick trails where the extra satellites might help.

    DC rainmaker definitely has a lot of in depth info on accuracy.

    I've had a 910xt, 920xt, Fenix 3HR, Fenix 5x, and now The 6x pro. Running very similar courses for my daily runs and they all report mostly the same. I overlayed a few old tracks compared to new ones and they're all close.

  • Is it just me or did anyone else became a more avid poster since joining lemmy?
  • I'm trying to support the change. I joined 6/11, I stopped visiting the other site the same time.

    I created a community that didn't exist yet here (in the fediverse) and am trying to post /comment more then I would normally. I wasn't a lurker over there but I am more engaged here.

    Long live the new(ish) fediverse :)

    Edit: I also removed my content and deleted my 12yo account on 7/1

  • Businesses can discriminate against their customers? Alright then...
  • I can't imagine owning a business and actively promoting your willing to give up sales because of some random person's beliefs.

    I fully understand consumers not shopping at a store that puts up signs you disagree with, you can just go to another one.

    Nothing wrong in believing in and supporting the good things. I just think I'd not agitate customers if it were my business.

    Just out here on vacation and drove past this thing... Never seen anything like it.

    CONGRATS 🎉
  • You are not stripping spaces at the end of login names in your app (sorry to ping you here but saw your reply and it reminded me to ask)

    I couldn't get logged in to connect, or liftoff, then noticed I had a space (From selecting the suggestion on my phone). Didn't catch it until just now trying to login to liftoff. I've seen a couple complaints about getting logged into these apps. Wonder if I'm not alone with the extra space.

  • Solo sailing on Father's Day

    Not the best wind, but it was sailing none the less. Sailed about 10 miles averaging 4kts

    Raft-up, overnight and sailing

    We had 6 boats for the raft-up/hangout, then 4 off us stayed overnight. The next morning I cooked my breakfast for the first time after finding a "period correct" alcohol stove over the winter!

    After I cleaned everything up, I detached from the raft-up, and did some poleless/preventerless wing on wing (which is far too much work!) down to the main section of the lake where it was wider, then sailed down and back getting about 12 miles in for the day!

    444 miles on my last running shoes!!

    I have never gotten 400 miles out of a shoe. I'm 190lb runner and have gotten as low as around 200 miles and looking back through my Garmin retired shoes managed 370 once. At any rate, shout out to these Brooks Ghost 13's :)

    Normally something (knees) let me know it's time to switch. These I retired due to running out of sole! At any rate, 95 activities, and 444 miles is a record for me!
