You need at least 2 boats to set and haul nets. 3, likely if you are running sails on your main rig.

79 A lot of Gainsborough's portraits are hit or miss for my taste. But I usually enjoy his landscapes like this one. I love the way he uses light almost as another paint on his palette. Also, his sense of proportion and his very earth-tone oriented color selection. The paintings are so pleasant to view.

Thanks, CBD, for this one and for yesterday's. I got in very late for Tuesday's art but it was interesting and a pleasure to learn.

85 I like the painting. It captures the complete savagery of the sea.

I've been out to sea in Alaska. The ocean is incredibly dangerous.

I always roll my eyes when women talk lovingly of the relaxing peacefulness of the beach. Utter horse shit. The sea will kill you as quickly as gravity or momentum.Turn your back on her and you die.

86 Currently nearing the conclusion of the 10th book in the Master and Commander series (Far Side of the World), so this wonderful paining is very timely. The light/dark contrasts and the general grainy feel of the painting are very-much in-tune with O'Brian's vision of what life was like for Royal Navy sailors in the early 19th century.

Ernest Shackleton's 1916 open-boat voyage from Elephant Island to South Georgia and the crossing the island to the whaling station in Stromness is one of the most amazing journeys in history.

On some PT the throttles were operated by the Boatswain or pilot but the forward/reverse was control in the engine room by the chief. This was to help save wear and tear on the transmissions. The trans level just sent a signal the the chief.

138 Ernest Shackleton's 1916 open-boat voyage from Elephant Island to South Georgia and the crossing the island to the whaling station in Stromness is one of the most amazing journeys in history. A later explorer said, "I do not know how they did it, except that they had to - three men of the heroic age of Antarctic exploration with 50 feet of rope between them - and a carpenter's adze"
Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh

Alistair Maclean quoted someone as saying, "When everything looks black and all hope is lost, get down on your knees and pray for Shackleton."

Even before the trip in the open whaling boat, the entire expedition was a hell of a struggle: Their ship, the Endurance, was stuck in the ice all winter, and then was crushed in the spring. Apparently ol' Ernest was quite the real-life Capt. James T. Kirk!

219 An Observation

No. Capt. Bligh's navigational skills were prized by the Admiralty.

He was a LT during his first mutiny. When he was a post Captain, he commanded HMS Director, and went through the Nore mutiny. He did very well fighting the Dutch in that ship.

He commanded HMS Glatton in the Battle of Copenhagen. VADm Nelson personally singled him out for commendation, as he was instrumental in making that battle a victory.
But no mutiny.

He retired as a Vice Admiral, and went on to his third mutiny in Australia.

The Admiralty valued his service.

During WWII Narragansett Bay was basically one big naval base and PT boats were at the center of it. I kept a boat at the old PT training base for years and now I'm down the bay at what used to be the main testing facility for US torpedos.

Yeah, if you don't live in Texas and/or pay attention, you could easily be surprised how squishy our state government is.

The structural engineers' association is trying to get the legislature to pass a structural engineering licensure law in this state, similar to SE laws in other states.

Turns out the PE (professional engineer) licence lobby is "too powerful".

WTH.

No engineering group has any power at all. And we are able to point to specific ways that people are abusing the PE licensure laws--engineers that can't pass the structural portion of the exam are taking the civil portion or environmental portion, passing, and then stamping structural drawings.

That info should trump any sense of "what lobby is more powerful" if you care a whit about public safety. But no.

Federal projects let you stamp with the seal from wherever you happen to be registered.

I haven't heard of a "CE" seal. Do you mean Civil Engineering? I think maybe California has that?

The PE (professional engineer) can vary by state, but it's been until more recent times an umbrella that covered all disciplines. And the engineer was ethically bound to only practice in the area of their expertise.

So theoretically I could go learn mechanical engineering and start sealing MEP drawings, and it wouldn't be a violation of the statute. So the board here in TX won't take action in these cases because they are uninterested in trying to determine if someone has expertise or not. They have a seal and after that it's up to the individual, because the board is playing with their navel in the corner.

However, the internetz tells me that this painting is in the Rococo style. I remember Rococo as being all flowery and ornate, which this isn't. What style heading would this painting fall under? Millet's work was considered Realism, and this isn't quite there either.

Parties aren't meant to go on for 200 years, so far removed from what they ostensibly serve. The dem party may collapse nationally.

Reagan gave a speech in 1992 at the GOP convention. He was more lucid, 4 years retired, than fucking Joe is right now. He mentioned the death of the USSR, a thing he talked about since "A time for choosing" in 1964. Maybe he didn't know how close it was.

I remember reading something about D-Day where the bombers who were going first to soften the beaches didn't release their bombs close enough and most of them struck farther inland. IIRC the weather made the planes change how the bombing had to occur (optical sighting vs some time based technique?) and they were worried about hitting the landing craft by releasing too soon.

I'm not a historian or much more than a guy who has read a couple of books, but it's amazing D-Day happened at all, much less succeeded. Like Trump's election, the hand of God at work in crucial moments.

Looks like I misremembered. It was Hurricanes, not Spits.

Operation WHITE - ARGUS was again required to replace the attrition of aircraft in Malta and, after loading twelve Hurricanes and two Skua guide aircraft, sailed from the Clyde 11.11 escorted by the cruiser DESPATCH and destroyers DUNCAN, FURY and WISHART. Met by Force H west of Gibraltar, battlecruiser RENOWN, carrier ARK ROYAL, cruiser SHEFFIELD and destroyers FAULKNOR, FIREDRAKE, FORESTER, FORTUNE and FOXHOUND, she proceeded to the launch point where two flights took off on 17.11.

Due to the reported presence of strong Italian forces, the launch point was further west than that of HURRY, and that plus other factors, led to eight Hurricanes ditching through lack of fuel while one of the Skua guide aircraft lost its way, strayed over Sicily and was shot down. Sunderland and Glenn Martin aircraft, also intended as guides, did not meet the force and proceeded independently to Malta.

I had a far lefty talk down to me in front of everyone quite nastily with a "wear the mask" lecture when I was no where near anyone and not violating policy.

Nor was I in any kind of argument about masks or did I have an argument about masks. He interrupted my conversation about sports with someone else to do it.

Trust me they are enjoying their little power trip.

Silly like concealing the lower half of your face on the government's orders like a damn Commie or a Muzzie for months on end because of mass delusion and hypochaondria?

This is rationalization.

413 The mask is dehumanizing. Women aren't exactly empowered under Sharia and you see how they have to walk around.

I never realized how hot they must get. It's grotesque.

Much as they pretend otherwise, symbols mean a lot to the Left - see: statues - and they are enjoying making everyone put their little gag on.

Is she the one they lobotomized and hid from the world or was that a different Camelot resident?

415 Yay, boats! I bought Trump flag yesterday. The parade is September 12. The only fly in the ointment is the size of the flag. It won't fit on the stern light pole of my baby boat.

416 You see the Trump boat parade of majestic schooners in the background. Meanwhile, Biden is trying to launch his own counter-parade in a wooden dinghy one the shore, with Kamala in the back of the boat attempting to start a nonexistent motor, and Ilhan Omar in the middle with only her left oar in the water.

417 Maybe calling for a boycott of a company that employs thousands of people in swing states isnt the greatest move a campaign can make. But thats just me.
