Nice seeing you out and about on the chain, @sgt-dan. Any of us that's been here a while and particularly through the fork shit show knows what you're talkin' about. Word!. 🤟

It is great to hear from you, another HIVE old-timer. Yup, I am back and guess who else is back? Yes, you guessed it that younger version of myself: @sircork the infamous! On the blockchain longer than me, but one of my oldest friends and confidants on this little village of ours known as HIVE.
Ah, I give him the dickens. He does know I have a great deal of respect for him and am proud to call him a good friend!
Hope you and your folks are well. Busy trying to play catch up as I was pretty much in HIVE hibernation for a couple of years. As the Euros say CHEERS!
Yeah @sircork followed my sailing adventure pretty steadily while working on his HiveStreams.Live Project.
Then I got a real job (contract) and I've been busy with that for a few weeks now too. But I peek in, here and there.
Only 22 hours or so away from my destination, @sircork. Sitting out the winds for a few days.
Goin where the wind blows.... or not then :)
We're talking 65kms/hr gusts. Not fun.
40 MPH winds? Lord. Sounds like when I was an instructor at Landing Force Training Command Atlantic, TTWB (it is called something different now) and experience Noreasters! This was back in the early '90s. We would go outside the Chesapeake Bay. Navigation, ship to shore movement, caching of small boats, special operations; there was a great deal I did in that year.
I was one of the first Marine Corps Small boat coxswain instructors. I have been certified by the North Carolina Power Squadron and damn that test was hard!
We Marine coxswains had to be certified with the above civilian outfit, attend Instructors Management Course at Quantico, VA (I got bad marks for eye contact. Shit, what they want? There is a reason my call sign was Cyclops), then graduate the coxswain course itself. 🤣
