Hoping for the best for all of our friends in the path of Beryl, but also glad we decided to not go to Grenada this hurricane season. It's crazy how many boats are heading south at the same time, it looks like a race or rally.

Did You Know: Lobsters Were Once So Common That They Were Fed to Inmates & Servants

During the American colonial period, lobsters were not valued as food and were mainly eaten by the poor, prisoners, and indentured servants. Native tribes near the coasts used lobsters as fertilizer or bait rather than food.

People even hid lobster shells to avoid the stigma of poverty. In Massachusetts, indentured servants sued to limit their lobster meals to three times a week, winning the case.

Lobsters were abundant, easy to collect from the shore, and considered bottom feeders. They were often consumed as a paste or stew. In the early 19th century, lobsters were cheaper than Boston baked beans, sometimes even fed to cats.

However, by the late 19th century, as railroads spread and lobsters were served on trains, people who were unfamiliar with them found them delicious.

This led to increased demand and the start of lobster canning. By the 1920s, with lobsters becoming less plentiful but demand growing, lobsters transitioned to a delicacy, popular among celebrities and the wealthy by the 1950s.

BOOMER HATE (written by a Gen X'r).
I think the reason that millennials have the freedom to pursue their dreams is because many have the safety net of their Boomer or GenX parents who did the 9-5 thing for 30-40 years, and/or the ability to work a less tethered career (ie. remote work). On top of that, there are more ways to make money "fast" with the world at your fingertips and in your pocket (in your phone).
I know all millenials disparage Boomers, but many do. Millennials need to definitely respect Boomers more than they do, because Boomers made all of this possible by inventing computers, the internet, cell phones, etc. before millenials were even born. By the way, I'm not a Boomer, I'm GenX....I just think millenials look down on Boomers and I see a lot of disparaging comments towards them by millennials all over socal media. I will say thank you from my generation, GenX to the Boomers....I know who paved the way for us.

On a cool day after the rolly, wavy, rainy 36 hours on the boat, we needed some inspiration, so we turn to our fellow YouTube Sailors to get us back in the groove. SV Honu Time has a new vido out, so we checked it out.

Look at the 2 pictures. The first is the 3 panels with just a tiny bit of shadow on the corner; then look at second picture and compare the output vs the ones in complete sun. are not good, no matter how small.
