1/x As people on X were freaking out about a kite assisted ship (WOKE!!), I have another one: The rotor ship or Flettner ship. It uses large, spinning vertical cylinders called Flettner rotors to harness wind power and propel the vessel through the Magnus effect.

Happy to read Bart's knowledge on all stuff nautical. Was one of the few reads I really missed after moving here.
1/x So with the introduction of GPS and other GNSS, navigation became easier than before. But what did they use before GNSS? Some might immediately mention astronavigation with the sextant, but there was something else. Something quite precise. I'm talking about DECCA and LORANC

Today I had my grading to earn a black belt in Goju-Ryu karate. Thanks to a path of 12 years with sensei Geert I was able to pass. As often, the destination is only part of the journey. It has been a wonderful ride, and I hope to continue for many years to come.
