I woke up this morning and thought, how did Stede and Ed get to the inn—in a dinghy?

So, that was their first time in a dinghy together...

I have been seized by the desire to look for dinghy sailing content on tumblr and I am struggling, because the sailing tag is mostly enormous ships, and I can't search for any specific boat individually because they all have stupid names and all the posts I've found tag 'sailing' and the type of boat separately.

Like sure man, I'll try looking through the 'laser' tag, I'm sure I will find entirely boats and no laser beams at all. One of the boats I found a few posts about is called a 420. Do you see why this might be a problem? I haven't even dared to look in the topper tag. (which is the boat I mostly sail)

The only boat I can find a consistent amount of content for is oppies. The problem with this is that oppies suck. They are wooden boxes you put your 8 year old in so they can sail. Most people over the age of 13 do not fit in one. I hate them.

Anyway if anyone who sees this wants to talk about boats I am willing to interact.

So me and my crew have learned that harpoon dinghies are the best thing in the world. Like, you can load that sucker up and then just harpoon the shit out of whatever outpost you're unloading at and just like, drag yourself right up to your trading company of choice. Highly effective and efficient. Strongly recommend

So we've done a couple of out post runs and we're getting down to the end of the night and just kind of messing around on the island, and I start to think: where else can we put this thing.

Turns out the answer is, a lot of places

But then I really wanted to push the limits of where this thing could go. Really see what Rare would allow. Let me tell you, they were not prepared for what was about to happen.

So we put a row boat in the tavern.

From what experimenting we did, the row boat still worked fine. It didn't like being in there and would jiggle and vibrate but was pretty well stuck. You could still access the storage compartment, and you could even sit in it if you wanted to. Getting out of the row boat would cause your character to clip into the wall of the saloon and be instantly responded on your ship.

The tavern was rendered completely inaccessible.

Been playing with the drone and really enjoying it. This shot was inspired by @drew_410 , who has done a better job than me capturing the myriad of dinghies parked here at the Falmouth Town Landing. #maine #falmouthmaine #dinghies #boats #drone #fromabove #downeastmagazine (at Falmouth Town Landing)

I’ve got the Seagull already, although it needs reconditioning. I expect to pick up the tender on Sunday. Then if I can get the boat it’s intended to ‘tend’ surveyed, insured, launched & the mast stepped, rigged & (temporarily) moored, I can plan the trip across the Gulf of Maine to P’town and thence to the marina in Boston Harbor where I’ll live aboard this winter.
