Not really having fun here – nasty sea and swell, no wind, Berri rolling and pitching and flopping into a 2 knot-- Speed: definition of speed at sea. One knot is one nautical mile per hour. The nautical mile is about 1.15 % longer than the "statute" mile used on land. A knot is about half a metre per second.
-- A knot is also the result of winding a rope around itself or another rope to make a join or a loop .
current and horribly uncomfortable. I want my teddy bear. We have the engine running but not going anywhere much. At about the same speed as CookBritish explorer, navigator, cartographer, and captain in the Royal Navy. He made 3 voyages to the Pacific Ocean, during which he achieved the first recorded European contact with the eastern coastline of Australia and the Hawaiian Islands, and the first recorded circumnavigation of New Zealand. More on wikipedia. and the early explorers must have done the same voyage.
But the sheer joy of being able to see and almost feel the sweep of the Milky Way nearly – nearly – makes up for it all.
Ships everywhere, Must have seen over 100 since Newcastle. Parked, milling around, going places, but lots of them. Must go up and look.
Happy partying – we’ll be thinking of you…
