Last thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

    Came here to randomly give Dave appreciation for running this instance but seems like somebody beat me to it. Nice! Stuck in the cold due to an autopilot failure a couple of days ago and waiting to get that sorted before heading to warmer weather. Having trouble finding good weather windows to head offshore though. I’m so ready for the beach!

      Oh hey! Last time I heard from you I think you were on your way to the Bahamas, like a year ago lol. Sounds like you’re no longer in that region, but perhaps wishing you were!

        Yep east coast USA again. Heading to the Bahamas. Given the boat a good shake down over the past year so goal is to go through the Panama Canal early next year and start working our way across the Pacific. Lots of planning involved!

          Wow, that’s amazing! Must be pretty cool and/or scary to be going through the canal alongside giant oil tankers.

          Been anywhere good over the last year? Just up and down the east coast or have you been elsewhere?
