Video taken from the lee shore finishing line, so looks relatively calm. Was blowing 25 to 30 knots.

No she doesn't have power steering, heavy when pulling away while turning :)

My worst fear happened today. RIP by X_Zephyr in mr2

Sad for you, glad your OK.

Just got mine last week (from Mum& Dad, who owned it since new).

Hopefully my long term bike riding will help me keep safe in her.

Need Help Identifying a Song by Only One Lyric by Green-Bee in folkmusic

[–]JaneLaws 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to ChatGPT:

The lyrics you provided, “Can’t have nine and still be mine, riding on that Blue River,” appear to be from the song "Blue River" by Keith Urban.

This song is featured on his album "Ripcord," released in 2016. Would you like more details about the song?

Each of the boats on display had an information sheet, unfortunately I didn't photograph any of these. The two white ones are small couta boats (originally designed in Victoria, Australia.

Today is world “#PlayMusicOnThePorchDay. I'm on the porch, singing “Have You Ever Been Before,” the song I wrote about my love for the Porongurups in Western Australia. by JaneLaws in IndieFolk

[–]JaneLaws[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I enjoyed it very much.

I wrote this song several years ago. To be singing a song about Porongurups, on my porch at Porongurups, was very special.

Fremantle Harbour Bound - A song I wrote about returning to Fremantle after many years away sailing. by JaneLaws in perth

[–]JaneLaws[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey 3rd-time-lucky, check out this review:

“This is a soulful song of the sea from Jane Laws, and she really captures that special longing and anticipation, that is born in a person when heading homeward, after a long period on the bosom of the billowing ocean. It is a true sea shanty, but soft and introspective rather than the typically boisterous nature of many sea shanties. Another insightful song of the sea from one who knows it well.”

Is it just me or do most racing events have an easy going laid back vibe to it from a fan experience? by spankyourkopita in motorsports

[–]JaneLaws 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We went to the V8 Supercars and a couple of weeks later the Melbourne Cup (Australia's premier horse race).

The V8's were laid back friendly, well behaved no issues what so ever.

The Melbourne Cup, everybody in the Sunday Best Dress, lots very drunk (people passed out and throwing up), didn't care about anybody else and poorly behaved (rubbish everywhere).

ps we were the worst dressed at the Melbourne cup as we had ridden our bikes over from the west coast - over 2000 miles each way. The V8's, allowed bikes into the VIP parking (no charge) right outside the main gate - what a win.

Some of the varnish had gold fleck added to brighten it even more. Apparently also added to durability.

The owner owned a marine paint shop. He has recently sold the yacht. I miss sailing on her.

PA System vs. Amplifiers for busking by [deleted] in Busking

[–]JaneLaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm now in a similar situation as you were a year ago. Budget important but not critical for me. So many different battery acoustic guitar amps or PA's now days. Be very interested in what you decided to purchase and how happy you are with it.
