As I scroll through my global feed, I see posts appear and disappear and I know it's all those (m)ostr bridge posts which I blocked by blocking that word. In the days since I did this the quality of my experience on nostr has improved dramatically.

If we had a zoo, a #bitcoin zoo, what animals would we keep? I'd start with an Alpaca. Then a Bull. Then a honey badger. Then a bear, because we can't leave the bears out of it. And loads of nostriches, of course. What else would we need?

So I mentioned a boat sank earlier... Just as I'd got off my boat and was getting changed ready to go to the marina, I heard a crunch and looked up to see a boat where a boat shouldn't be. He's the little yellow bit, next to the shingle bank. image Fearing a medical emergency, I went over to see what's what. He'd beached and signalled that the boat was dead, so I asked if he needed any help. He said no, but I stuck around to watch. image Just as well I did, he went to jump off the side, to what looked like the shingle bank and he *should* have been okay, but the channel runs deep and he disappeared under the water. No pics. I was too busy sitting myself thinking I'd have to jump in. Guys in his mid sixties. He got out, having failed to find the hole. Common for men jokes aside, it became clear he was sinking and the tide, which had been very low, was moving in more and more. I watched and offered to help off load goods while we could still reach across, but it became clear that she was going down and starting to list. Fortunately another boat came by and they offloaded his gear, including what electronics he could salvage, so I waited to be sure he was off safely. image By this point he was still talking to us on shore, and we pointed out that he was starting to list badly and was close to taking on water straight over the side. Fortunately he got off just in time. She went over, within 5 minutes of it starting to go over the side. image Fortunately some 6 hours later, at the height of the tide, the Harbour Master put out a notice to inform mariners about the danger. No mention of what he hit to cause him to sink though. It was a stupidly low tide but any dangers should be marked. I suspect an insurance claim incoming. #boatlife

What a morning - just watched a boat sink (pics later) and now the skipper is safe, I've wandered up to the marina for an Emglish Breakfast and a cup off coffee, out in the sun. Grateful to be here and grateful it wasn't me sinking. image

Bed by 10, up by 5, sat and watched the sunrise and now taking a wander along the beach, again. This is how I picture my retirement looking like. This and the part time job to keep me busy and connected. So I guess, in a way, that means I'm basically retired. I'll take that. GM #nostr ๐Ÿฅณ image
