    Saddler 26 osmosis

    Great boats. We had one for 9 years until 2020. Solid and sea kindly for their size. Enjoy!

    Orca attack

    It's an interesting thought, but I suspect that you would need to play those sounds with thumping bass and serious wattage to emulate a sperm whale in any meaningful way.

    Now it's Sharks

    There was an update to this. It was a cookie cutter shark, apparently: Pencils with teeth: meet the tiny cookiecutter shark that attacked a catamaran off Cairns Now the only mystery about this story is why anyone would sail offshore on an inflatable catamaran.

    Working on the assumption that sand, suspended in the water, disrupts the orcas' sonar, how long do we need to keep chucking it before they get bored and wander off? How do we distribute it effectively? And why doesn't this wonder material deter them from chasing seals up beaches? I sincerely...

    Rockall and St Kilda

    I read somewhere that he was planning to attach himself directly to the rock, so that he would remain attached even if his survival pod was swept away. I don't know if that report was true, but I wouldn't judge it a great tactic to be dashed against the rock with no shelter. Anyway, seems...

    Rockall and St Kilda

    I heard Cam was in for a bit of a blow, coming from his side of the rock. Fingers crossed he's faring well.
