Sorry. Thanks PJ for drawing this to my attention. I believe I have now made it "public." Let me know if not

Over the years, many have enjoyed Carl Nolte's writing in the SF Chronicle At 88, Carl is San Francisco's oldest working journalist, and it was a pleasure to meet this character on Kilkenny beach at the annual Inverness YC cook and camp out the day after the 110 Nationals concluded...As Carl's tent neighbor, I'm sure Ants has more to say. But here is what Carl wrote about Kilkenny. It's a fun read:

Yes that works. Looking great, what fun! Did my previous answer win me more ice cream?
Someone is having fun!
PJ nails it. He just collected his winning Macapuno last week at CBC. Looks like more coming his way. Guess I'll have to make the trivia harder? We've made Macapuno the most popular flavor at Grady's corner market, across from Gayles. Frank can't keep it in stock.

Kilkenny and Inverness Yacht Club and TSCA and Carl Nolte and Skip and Milly and so many more. It was a smorgasbord of delight that moved from the beach to IYC to on the water, and repeat as many times as possible.
Carl Nolte is an iconic SF writer, publishing as the Native Son in the SF Chronicle. As I was getting background information about Carl, his one quote of never retiring stood out. It is safe the same comment can be applied to Skip and sailing. Carl was doing his ‘job’ and gathering information during the entire he was there. There were folks to talk with, details to observe, and photos to collect. The gathering began before sunrise while the clouds and sun made Tomales Bay a visual treat of changing conditions. There were tales to hear and tales to tell. I would imagine Carl’s pleasure as a writer is from the details of prior trips that come readily to mind. It doesn’t happen with me (darn).
When the ideas get put onto paper, the magic of verbally composing the picture takes place. Go Carl Go.

As long as Critter and Philpott are raiding the CBC freezer for Macapuno, we might as well offer them company. First to correctly answer the 2 questions below wins a bowl of Macapuno with a lemon bar topping. Go for it!

It seems to be a drone picture of the South Pole, with people playing the role of ants. The polar lights are fantastic.
I can not give the people any names since I know they are not my Bodfish neighbors.

PS. Oops, I guessed before I confirmed. The prize is still open.

The nightly news letter Scuttlebutt is currently having a "Guest Commentary" naming reader's "Coolest Yachts." Commodore Tompkins was first to write in, naming the America's Cup defender RELIANCE. Someone followed with DORADE. The number 3 choice is a bit of a surprise. Not SPRAY, AMERICA, SUHAILI, WINDWARD PASSAGE, IMP, TICONDERGOGA, SAGA, or MERLIN. If curious, you'll have to go see for yourself under "Guest Commentary" near the bottom of the Scuttlebutt page https://email.sailingscuttlebutt.co...3FF2EFBD8D12540EF23F30FEDED/C67FD2F38AC4859C/

Filmed 100 years ago, 1922, Nanook of the North made quite an impression on this writer. The kayak scene is epic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNTYxR445y8
Can't be claustrophobic to travel like that ...
Having crossed the Tommy Thompson trail numerous times on foot and bike, it is sad to see the bridge over Fidalgo Bay from Anacortes to March Point again burned by arsonists early yesterday morning. This is a big loss for the community and will put all the cyclists that used it up on busy Hiway 20 (not good). A similar incident occurred in 2009 and $300,000 in private donations repaired the damage. It took a couple of years.. This time all the damaged creosote pilings will have to be replaced with steel (environmental) so the total cost will be "up there". Why someone would do this, is the big question. It's pretty obvious we live in radically changing times.
If there is one thing aspirants to sail the Singlehanded Transpac usually run short of is time. We are now 10 months out from the start of the 2023 SHTP. If you are seriously giving thought to this endeavor, now, not next week, is the time to begin to act. Just completing the Qualifier can be a major chore. Getting hauled, rig checked, sails and electronics tested, etc. all take more time than anticipated...Word to the wise: You are racing now. Four Qualifier attempts is not unheard of.
To check your sanity, we still have some Macapuno for your delish. Just answer this question correctly: Why did the Laser dinghy sailor fill his air tank with marbles? Don't laugh too hard, this is serious, singlehanded stuff.

Marbles in the air tank - if it were for weight, another substance would be more effective, so it must be another purpose.
My WAG is the marbles provided a feedback sound that helped determining if proper hull trim was achieved.

Hi Ants, The "feedback sound" of marbles in the Laser air tank is on the right track. But not to add weight or determine "proper hull trim." Guess again. Anyone else?
