A visitor to Nome.. a re-creation of the Amundsen traverse of the NW passage. The Alma af Froya, a pretty close replica of Roald's ship. More here: amundsenadventure.com/alma-af-froya/
Stern view of magnificent old replicate sailboat moored on a floating dock in Nome Alaska. The Alma sailboat moored in Nome at the small boat harbor, next to some fishery buildings.

About to emerge!
#boatbuilding #boats #sailboat #catamaran #woodworking
my boat shed (not technically a shed) covered in faded Tyvek house wrap, with scaffolding set up and a ladder on the scaffolding. Green neighbor house to left. Gravel lot with some green plants..blue sky. A building with partially disassembled wall, showing weathered plywood and posts used as wall studs. Tyvek covers the rest of the red-roofed structure. Plywood debris litters the front foreground.. a ladder rests on scaffolding. Another shot of previous picture with scaffolding and posts removed.. essentially the whole front wall is removed. A catamaran boat has appeared.

Robert Smith married Mary Poole in 1988. In 1989, he released this as an ode to his love for her. "Love Song"

🎶However far away
I will always love you
However long I stay
I will always love you
Whatever words I say
I will always love you
I will always love you🎶

Going with fiber and the healthy bits of grinding our own flour and using ancient grains - einkorn and spelt. To get some gluten, 400 gms of winter wheat. 600 grams spelt here (2 loaves). These just don't rise like the white flours, not so much gluten. Tasty tho. #sourdough #bread
Two loaves of sourdough bread on a green counter A half loaf of sourdough cut into a couple slices on a wood cutting board.

Skiing in ptarmigan traffic'd snow with @hanners64n.bsky.social #NomeAlaska
A snowy scene in rolling hills, with willows and ptarmigan tracks all over. A figure skis ahead leaving a trail from the back country skis. Willows fill the valley.
