Immersion hypothermia chart for all your fic writing needs. Sharing is caring :) Note this is number of hours a person may survive (obviously mileage may vary) not number of hours to hypothermia onset (also consciousness changes due to hypothermia could affect this).

70 degree water - wearing lifejacket: 18 hours, treading water: 13 hours, swimming: 10 hours.

55 degree water - lifejacket: 3.5 hours, treading water: 3 hours, swimming: 2 hours.

35 degree water - lifejacket: 1.75 hours, treading water: 1.25 hours, swimming: 1.75 hours.

Hello! I love your sailing posts and have started trying to work towards my long time goal of working on/with ships. I took a sailing class, started volunteering with historic wooden boats, and am planning to work towards my keelboat certification in the coming year. I would love to eventually work on a schooner but I have a cat and would just need to do day trips or shorter week long trips and not live on board. If you have any tips or advice around finding a space like that I would greatly appreciate it! I've found one schooner on Lake Superior that looks attractive and a few sailing education orgs here in the PNW though they don't have schooners...

Oh congratulations! And good luck with the certification!

Day sailors are probably the way to go, whether commercial or educational - they’ll be back at the docks every night. (Windjammers have to fit as many multi-day trips as they can into the season, so living on board is mandatory and the turn around between trips is about ~24 hours max).

My experience with day sailing is that the hours more forgiving (you often start at 9-10ish), you can go home at night, and you have days of/work a specific schedule/ can potentially get a day covered if you have to. I had crew who worked one day a week and crew who worked five; some were full time career sailors and some had picked it up for a fun summer job or a side gig. It seems like that might be a good fit!

Finding boats that could work: in addition to searching ‘location you’d like+tall ships/sailing tours’ (usually my go to lmao), check out Tall Ships America Billet Bank! Filter by Deck Unlicensed for deckhand/educator jobs that don’t require official certification, which is the majority of deckhand jobs on day sailors. Marlinspike Magazine has job postings too. This is a good time of year for it, since everyone’s working on getting a 2023 crew together! I know in New England especially, just about every coastal town with some tourism draw has a few traditionally rigged boats that do day tours.

#schooner bum life #i'm not familiar with the pnw in particular but it does seem that the schooner zodiac out of bellingham #does a mix of overnight and day sails #my friend worked on a while back and enjoyed it #idk what balance of day/overnight would work for you exactly #so it seems worth mentioning!

a week until i can (kind of) start writing clementine full time

so here’s a tease of the coming chapter 🕺

Ch 4 coming soon I swear

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oscar finally caught Logan on his way out of the dock with his student. Logan giving him a shy wave and Oscar asking him to ‘Wait up, you’re next!’ It was half a joke, really, when Oscar said it, but as Logan looks at him from his vantage point of the stable wood, he realizes that Logan had actually listened.  

“As I’ll ever be.” Logan answers, shrugging, making the wide step to land on board of the keelboat. When he gets on deck, his hands flounder about in the air by his sides, looking unsure of what to do with himself now that he’s on the deck, settling for shoving them into the pockets of his shorts eventually. 

Oscar leans down, unknotting the line attaching them to the dock, “So, first we’ve gotta untie that bow cleat-”

“-Oh we’re like, going straight into this, okay.” Logan’s eyes widen a bit with nerves as he comes up behind Oscar, watching his movements and listening to his words as he explains the steps to get them moving.

“Oh yeah,” Oscar says, matter of factly, “If he could do it, you can do it.”

“Okay. Uh, okay- yeah. Undo the what now?” 

“Bow cleat, the line up there attaching us to the dock?” Oscar points, and Logan’s eyes follow the line of his finger.

“Got you, bow cleat.” Logan enunciates the name more than he needs, and snaps his fingers, making them into a little finger gun pointing at it as well, before moving up to undo it. 

“Use your leg to push us off a bit after you untie it.” 

“Okay, done.” 

Oscar moves towards the motor at the back of the sailboat as Logan unties the knot holding them to the dock, adjusting it to propel them in the right direction as Logan pushes them off, cruising their way out of the marina slowly. 

Oscar lets his eyes linger on the other boy’s frame, the polarized sunglasses covering his eyes keeping the other boy oblivious. Logan is crouched on the bow, eyes crinkling at the sides as he squints, light gleaming off the metal. He puts up a hand in an attempt to see, before Oscar interrupts his investigation. “Gonna get us a ways out before we do anything, alright?” Oscar calls. 

Logan nods, moving towards Oscar to sit closer by. Oscar can see his attention flick about, from the water to the ship, the sails, and where Oscar is positioning the rudder. He takes his sunglasses off, wiping the lenses off as he thinks about what course of action he wants to take. Where it would be easiest to start, and build from. The curriculum Oscar knows the inside and out of for their courses is for someone much younger than Logan. At least, this section of the curriculum is. He makes the proper adjustments mentally to Logan’s high likelihood of picking the steps up faster than your average eight year old, and the thought makes him snort. Oscar ensures the lenses of the sunglasses are clean, before holding them out, offering them to Logan silently. “You’re lucky, the wind is playing nice today.” Oscar muses.

“Good to hear.” Logan laughs. He looks at the pair of sunglasses, still hanging from Oscar’s fingers, before taking them from his grasp. “Thanks.”

Oscar shrugs, not acknowledging the gift further, “Alright, let's get started.”

i don’t ship characters but i do boat them. i very frequently raft them, or keelboat them, or ketch them. do you have any idea how many characters i’ve slooped?

anyway my point is i would’ve killed for an arc in which Thom, Juilin, Bayle, Gaul, and Faile all have to carry a boatload of cargo from Tar Valon to Tear.

Mignonne (my cat) just started on 1ml of liquid gabapentin every eight hours orally because she's got some possible nerve over sensitivity at the base of her tail causing her to over-groom.

And I'm very nervous to leave her alone at home while she's on it in case it makes her super sedated. But I have to go back into work Tuesday and also have to practice for my basic keelboat test at the end of September. And I am le stressed.

Does anyone have experience they would be willing to share?

2024-04-16: Flatboat Annie (NPC)

Flatboat Annie is the regional equivalent of Paul Bunyan and Pecos Bill. In the stories that tell of her exploits, she's primarily based out of New Orleans; however, she has a connection to the Delta. Depending on the telling, she was either born in the Delta, lived in the Delta later in life, or simply hauled cargo into the Delta because of her work as a flatboat operator on the Mississippi River.

Other tellings use her given name of Annie Christmas, and she is often described as being 6'7" and 250 pounds with her hair in an updo and also wearing a neatly-trimmed mustache. Her boat was a keelboat named Big River's Daughter, and it was crewed by her 12 sons (who legends say were all born in a single birth). Annie is supernaturally strong and doesn't take kindly to bullying. Those who make the mistake of disrespecting her don't get a chance to repeat the mistake.

She wears a long necklace of freshwater pearls, and she adds new pearls for every time she beats up someone for disrespecting her or bullying someone else. The number of pearls added depends on how she won in combat. If she gouged out their eyes, she adds two pearls. If she chews off their nose or ears, she only adds one pearl. By the time she supposedly died, her necklace was over 30 feet long.

However, the content of the legend places the story quite a bit earlier than 1934. That's because keelboats fell out of favor in the 19th century as a popular means of transporting cargo up and down the river. Such a fact leaves several possibilities for how she can appear in game:

She died with the keelboats and prowls the river as a ghost, looking to pick a fight with bullies or misogynists.

Annie was born relatively near the turn of the century and picked up a keelboat for cheap. She is so strong and her endurance so great that her keelboat can keep up with (or pass!) more modern ships.

Annie died in the early part of the 20th century and her 12 sons ply their trade on the river as crewmen of more modern ships.

News of Annie's death is greatly exaggerated. She's over a hundred years old, but still working the river and is still as strong as (or stronger than) an ox. Her original keelboat has since been retired for a new barge called Big River's Granddaughter.

Or perhaps you have another idea for Flatboat Annie in your game. That's fine, too!

DnD 5e is THE WORST TTRPG EVER

Like it doesn't even tell me how big a cart or chariot is. It doesn't tell me how much stuff I can fit in a wagon or how much I can load onto a carriage before it can't move anymore.

It doesn't even say how big a rowboat is, or how many people are needed to crew a galleon, or how much you can carry in a keelboat either! Not to mention the fact the only boat with a given weight is the rowboat, despite the fact the rules point out horses can be used to drag river boats (including keelboats) upstream faster! Let me know how many horses I need to drag my keelboat upstream!

How am I supposed to handle the logistics of adventuring without this information!

Come on you can tell me how many people are needed to operate a siege ram and how big a siege tower is, but you've got nothing for boats other than their price and top speed???

Sailfaster Podcast with Pete Boland - Episode 1 - Doug Stryker

Doug’s a highly-accomplished sailor from the Annapolis area; I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that Doug is obsessed with how to make Mayhem, his J/105, sail faster.  As you’re going to hear.

Doug’s always at the front of the j/105 fleet, despite being relatively new to the design.  I suppose it’s not that surprising that he sailed his way to the front given his formidable achievements in windsurfing earlier in his sailing career – including  two-time winner of US Sailing Youth Championships and the Major Hall Trophy (windsurfing),  he’s a two time US Sailing Rolex Junior Team member, he represented the US at the ‘95 and ‘96 IYRU Youth World Championships and ‘99 World University Summer Games.  What’s more, Dough was the 1995 Olympic Festival Bronze Medalist and member of the US national Sailing Team in 1998 and 1999.

Switching to keelboats, Doug picked up the 2017 Healy Trophy for Overall Cruising One Design.  He was also the 2019 J30 North American Champion and most recently won the 2022 Charles Day Trophy - Best Performance in Fleet (AYC WNR) 

Doug’s always at or close to the front of the J/105 fleet, which as you’ll hear he puts down to his deep knowledge of the J/105 design, relentless preparation and a constant quest for improvement gained both by on the water experience and through learning from others.   As you’ll hear, he’s very willing to share what’s been working for him and his team, a formula that he puts into practice with considerable success.
