In our book on Sustainable Sailing I've grouped some changes as "The big wins", so far I have:
- Abandon New
- Right Sizing
- Sorting out your poop
- Adding more simplicity
- Add more DIY
- Add more time
- Stop Flying
- Pareto VeganOf these "Stop Flying" seems incredibly significant (as a way of cutting #emissions); a challenge to a huge temptation when world cruising; and incredibly controversial.
What is your take on #StopFlying ? Do we push it?

@cwebber wow that is brilliant!
Suitable for @SustainableSailing for boat systems such as navigation (add a waterproof touch screen display).
Also would be great for my #PrayerOfHannah project to run worship in Churches with no broadband and where everything has to be packed away.
Pity about the cost though. -
@governa very useful for those of us looking to use #RaspberryPi5 on boats for navigation etc with #OpenCPN
It does mean that for @SustainableSailing we will be using #Debian as our first choice distribution. -
If you are interested in our boat refit and journey towards a Sustainable retirement sailing around the world then @SustainableSailing is where we are putting progress, photos and more.

I've just bought #DesignJustice "Community-Led Practices to Build the Worlds We Need" by @schock https://designjustice.mitpress.mit.edu/
I think there are valuable connections in various threads of my life:
- my work as a #Methodist Minister in #Wythenshawe
- my planning for retirement passion of @SustainableSailing
- my programming side interest with #PrayerOfHannah https://codeberg.org/Dave42W/PrayerOfHannahDesign is everywhere and far too often disconnected from justice by the privileged

I have a weird body clock. Couldn't stay awake at 8pm. In bed well before 9pm. Now at 2am wide awake, wanting some great coffee and going to do some #RustLang coding on #PrayerOfHannah for a few hours.
This is why @SustainableSailing is on a boat with an aft cabin and why I use a hand coffee grinder - it means @Jane can sleep uninterrupted 😍 -
Two very different days Countdown day 78 vs 77 of 100 day Launch Challenge
Mixed progress on our Forecabin and Forward heads compartment. Just 77 days left of our 100 day to launch challenge.

All change for Forward heads.
Big changes and progress in our forward heads compartment. Just 79 days left of our 100 day to launch challenge. -
Adapting a loan ladder for boat jobs.
We have 82 days left of our 100 day to launch challenge. Busy day. Returned hire car this morning and did food shopping. Then adapted a fantastic loan ladder - more like a staircase :-) The goal is to be able to move it around the boat to give great access for jobs.

Awesome window progress, more horrible weather. Countdown day 86/100
Despite many heavy hail showers we made great progress. Both forecabin windows are fully bolted in. The first forward heads window is fully dry fitted. The boards to hold in the insulation are marked. Also we have had a big clear up and the forecabin is full as organised storage.

Countdown Day 91 of our "100 days to launch" challenge.
Window frames Progress. -
Countdown Day 92 of our "100 days to launch" challenge.
A big start on the interior window frames. Worked on the two for the forecabin and preparation for others. This should stop the gel coat crazing by adding stiffness. Plus it edges and supports the insulation. -
Countdown Day 93 of our "100 days to launch" challenge.
We really struggle with applying fibreglass to the underside of things, especially when the shapes are awkward and space is tight. So today was difficult but is done - glassing in the the new deck beam to strengthen the bulkhead where for the inner forestay and windlass loads. -
Countdown Day 94 of our "100 days to launch" challenge.
A big job today as we fit the new deck beam to strengthen the bulkhead where for the inner forestay and windlass loads. -
Countdown Day 95 of our "100 days to launch" challenge.
Back to insulating the forecabin. Today we are adding the second layer which is 40mm of XPS sheet -
Countdown Day 97 of our "100 day to launch" challenge.
Today we have finished a job!! The hot box for composting the solids from our composting toilet is done. -
Day 98 of our "100 day to launch" challenge.
Cracking on with the jobs.Jane is preparing to insulate the aft cabin entrance. Dave is working on the Electric Motor Battery Box and the hot box for composting the solids from our composting toilet. Plus he has found a cheating way to get taps in the galley

Jane is insulating the forecabin. Dave is working on the Electric Motor Battery Box and during a storm with gusts up to 60mph thinking about hacking our Calypso Wind Instrument.
