The people at the fancy marina did not find my Marvin the Martian voice hilarious when I asked “But where are the booms?” Honestly, what must it be like to be that boring.

If anyone is looking for me, I am out here for the foreseeable.
A sailboat whose hull speed is rated for 9 knots will audibly hum with the keel’s vibration when going 13 knots. There. That’s a thing you know now.
The formula: hull speed in knots equals 1.34 times the square root of the waterline length in feet (HS = 1.34 x √LWL).
Sailing season is winding down? Not just yet.
Bringing her home.
SOON WE WILL BE BACK IN THE WATER

Random Nautical Facts: Sculling
J80, what is happening with your mast? Is this appropriate? Is this how we behave in front of the party boat stinkpots?
ANYWAY. It’s been a while since I’ve done an installment of Random Nautical Facts so let’s go ahead and fix that, yeah? If you are out in a sailboat and catastrophe strikes, say, your mast goes bye-bye and so does your motor, you can steer the boat using the rudder as a sort of paddle, which is known as sculling (aka stern sculling). It sucks and it’s slow but at least you’re not adrift. (For coastal waters, anyway.) Random Nautical Facts!
