The Strait Reality!

Professional Maritime Traffic watchers say that over the past month about 5M barrels of oil transited out of the Strait of Hormuz - that is about 1/3 prewar amounts.

There are ~ 70 large oil tankers that comprise the core fleet attempting routine runs in and out of the Strait.

~ 65% of the oil is going to China, with ~10% going to Russia. It remains to be seen if Iran and Oman can cut a co-operation agreement. https://www.semafor.com/newsletter/08/13/2026/semafor-energy-hormuz-reality-check #Oil #USA-Iran-War #StraitOfHurmoz #OilTankers #MaritimeTraffic #Windward #SatelliteImagery #Intelligence

Since I am both a nerd, and a #kitesurfer with a previous life in the aviation industry, I was really interested in a #tabletop board game that I stumbled across a few years ago, called “Windward.”

It takes a little bit to get going and learn the rules, but once you get it, it is a really engaging game and story.

We’ve been playing it on and off for a few years now, and I finally snagged the “Treacherous Skies” expansion on eBay.

It adds an entirely new level of strategy, and I dare say this might be me and my sons’ favorite board game at this point.

I know this post is probably interesting to like 3 people, but if that’s you, you gotta check it out. #windward #boardgames

Played #windward for the first time today. Reminded me a bit of #scythe, but a bit lighter. The rules could definitely use some clarifications #boardgames
