    What is the next Covid-19 phase?

    There's lots of talk about the second wave of illness/death from Covid-19. Some say it's coming. Some say we're in the second wave already because the first wave started in December '19 or even before. Irrespective of that, it seems there are two options coming up. One is there is a vaccine...

    Tale of Two Virus events

    In 1968-1969 the Hong Kong flu killed many more than Covid-19 has or is likely to and there was no lockdown. Many of us lived through it. Do you remember it? There’s the risk of human death from Covid-19, then there’s the risk of economic death from Covid-19. Currently the US has 57,505 deaths...

    Lessons from Covid-19 -- what do you think they are?

    Here's my 2c on it. Assumption: Lowering the curve only spreads the number of Covid-19 deaths out over time. It does not reduce Covid-19 deaths. If the assumption is correct, we should therefore open the economy, get people out of their homes and back to work. The exceptions are those...

    Plug-in Aston Martin -- NOT

There was an Aston Martin Advantage convertible backed up to one of the charging stations, next to a Tesla. Since an Aston Martin is my "win the lottery" car, this interested me. Turns out, the Aston was...

    Fun with thermometers

    We have 2 fridges and one freezer on board. We’re on the boat for an extended time and I had fun calibrating the settings with remote thermometers. What struck me was the impact of the stove and also how the fridge warmed after putting warm items. All expected, but fun to see it quantified. One...

    Hurricane wind speed -- measuring

    The wind speeds reported for determining the category of hurricanes are recorded by hurricane hunter aircraft at 1000 to 10,000 feet. They often drop instruments to measure the wind at lower elevations, and they have computer programs for estimating the wind speeds, too. Having gone through...

    Critters on swimplatform

    I used to have cormorants, great blue herons and even raccoons frequent my swimplatform at night. One lazy day I left the deck brush on the swimplatform with the handle tucked under the handrail. No critters since. Maybe it looks menacing to them.

    Swimming pool water & its effect on thru-hulls & bottom paint

    No, I didn't drive the boat into a swimming pool. Our neighbor is draining the water from the swimming pool into our salt water canal. We are very close by and the tide and wind have moved it our way. The water is all brown and a significant amount of it is under my boat. Will the chlorine and...
