were you like in a coma for 2008 or do you just not realize that gen x was the last generation that was generally allowed enough money for hobbies?

A lot of the young people with money would rather spend boat money on setting up their streaming rig, streaming office, streaming chair, streaming indoor fireworks, etc. There really has been a cultural change. And all the lakes are drying up, so uhhhh

Sailing through 6 Bft wind with proper gear and letting the wind blow the dust out of your skull is a great experience, there's just something about being between the waves that makes you forget about "multiple inheritance" and "constructors" and "containers" and other irrelevant garbage.

boating can be pretty yospos. i remember having to get these daily wind/weather updates via a old school motorola satellite phone that was plugged into an ipad using some wacky usb modem.

GRIB files is what i remember them being called.




HF weather fax is still a thing too.

That depends if you're at the north pole and whether you're talking about heading or course.

What a weird language.

If I have a compass with me, does that count as navigating the circumference of the island instead of ambulating it?

you can literally literally only navigate on sea (let's allow for rivers and lakes because some fucker is bound to try that too smhd), on land faffing about with a compass is orienteering
