@th I wasn’t aware ships carpenter was a career I could aspire to
@cinebox it’s challenging with only hand tools in cramped and rolling conditions but maybe that’s the job for you!
@th That is one lovely repair well made!
@th for the handling of modern sails ?
@th 20 seems a lot on such a large ship, but I guess they heel the same as my 26' boat - 30something is the most I ever saw
@th it's beautiful! I hope all goes well!
@th That is so cool. Where in Japan are you arriving? Tokyo?
@th I've enjoyed the photos you've been sharing from this voyage. Thank you!
@th now that's what I call under tension!
@th
Why the difference on the same halyard? Has it met with misfortune and been joined/spliced or whatever it's called?
@Feathers it’s carrying the weight of the yard and sail. The tension has stretched the lay of the rope.
@th Origin of the phrase "don't sweat the small stuff"
@th I really like that you are taking the fediverse on your sailing adventure. I have only be sailing on rivers and near the coast in yawls but your photos call up many memories in me. Thank you for that phantastic photographic journey!
@th
Ohhhh, up there!
The sails haven’t required much handling the past few watches, so I’ve been spending time working on projects in the bosun store.
