It was a time of friendship, discovery, camaraderie, learning new skills, and just plain fun. Needless to say, they were not in the office.

'Bonita', Marseille to Athens, 1925

"At 22, my biggest dream had taken shape: there were four of us girls on a sailboat sailing towards Greece. And nothing will ever equal that initiation into the wonders of discovery!" - Ella Maillart, Cruises and Caravans

#Photography #Sailing #EllaMaillart
The Bonita was a 51-year-old yawl (a classic sailing yacht built in 1873) that the Swiss adventurer and sail Ella Maillart used for an iconic, all-female Mediterranean cruise in 1925. Having departed Marseille on July 7th, their arrival in Athens was scheduled for two months later. In between, a series of stops awaited them: Porquerolles, to get their sea legs, then departure for the crossing to Corsica on July 11th. They arrived in Ajaccio on the 14th and in Bonifacio on the 15th, where they put in port. On July 18th, they set course for Sardinia, having decided to pass by the eastern coast, via the Maddalena archipelago, where they would encounter the Italian and British navies! From July 24th, they sailed along the Sardinian coast, arriving in Cagliari on the 28th. They departed during the night for the crossing to Sicily. A huge storm caught them by surprise. On July 31st, victory! The island of Marettimo was in sight despite the lack of a compass, and they arrived triumphantly in Palermo with a following wind at midday.

Our latest discovery of “lowest recorded temperature for eukaryotic cell motility” going all the way down to -15deg C. Come for the crazy cold Arctic & stay for diatoms. Will write longer thread - but enjoy video below of diatoms gliding on frozen ice surfaces. Congrats @zqing.bsky.social & team.

🪬🧿 A discovery from above. HMS DISCOVERY Dundee

#Dundee #HMSDiscovery #Scotland #Drone #History
An overhead drone view of the HMS Discovery docked in a triangular-shaped basin in Dundee, Scotland. The historic sailing ship has multiple masts, extensive rigging, and two lifeboats visible on the deck. It is surrounded by modern architecture, including the distinctive, angled, and folded concrete building of the V&A Dundee museum to the right. A paved street with a few cars and a roundabout is visible on the left, leading to the dock's edge. The scene is lit by warm, low-angle sunlight.

What the actual fuck is going on here
————— *Even as articulated by the Marshall Court, the discovery doctrine leaves much to be desired. If “discovering” a land is enough to secure certain rights over it, one might wonder why Native Americans hadn’t obtained those rights over their lands long before Europeans arrived. As one commentator had already asked by the time of the Nation’s founding: “If sailing along a coast can give a right to a country, then might the people of Japan become, as soon as they please, the proprietors of Britain”? R. Price, Observations on the Nature of Civil Liberty, the Principles of Government, and the Justice and Policy of the War with America 23 (1776) (emphasis deleted).

Paramount accuses Netflix of ‘scorched-earth campaign’ to torpedo Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition in letter to DOJ
The regulatory path towards approval of Paramount’s acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, at least at the federal level, has seemed relatively smooth sailing since the two sides formally agreed to a merger earlier this year. Last month, a report surfaced that the Department of Justice was “ready to approve” the transaction, which would see the…

Smooth Sailing Radio turns 1 🥳

Around this time last year we started an experiment: Could you have a yacht rock station that appealed to the normies, had enough deep cuts for the heads and without taking a dump on the term yacht rock? Balancing the familiarity, discovery and authenticity scales?

"What struck me most: the ease of access through what used to be a far more ice-covered region", expedition leader Jochen Knies tells us, "We had been sailing through open water at 6–8 knots, something unthinkable three decades ago."

I think I'll go exploring today. Nothing in a hurry. No plans for any great discovery. I'll just look around, wherever I am, and marvel at what there is to see.
