  1. BTW, I predict you will lose power August 27th, 2022. Ans it will come back September 2nd, 2022. I would appreciate it if you can hold on to your cheese until I can cash in?
    Best of luck to You, Al, his wife, his place, your place, et. Al., et. Al., and his bicycle, which he left behind as not to piss you off, BFH!

  2. the map shows current wind but it also shows areas where there is no or little wind. I think those are what the old sailors called the “doldrums”. ships would get stuck there for weeks. Until an American came along and created charts from Captains logs in the early 1800’s showing captains how to avoid them saving weeks worth of time.

    That was a book on the Cutter ships. Next up the Spanish Main. fascinating

  3. “I think those are what the old sailors called the “doldrums”.”

    Also known as the “Horse latitudes” where they tossed the dead horses from being stuck there so long.

    That name stuck with me once I heard it. Explained a lot with just the name.

  4. Absolutely worth the click!
    I just finished reading “In The Heart of The Sea” about the Essex. The were stuck in the doldrums as well as fighting winds and whales. I came away from that book with at least two truths:
    1. You enter the food chain when you enter the sea
    2. Our collective ancestors were braver than we can ever imagine
