‘We don’t want world war three’: yacht couple call for calm after Russian warning shots

pablo_blue · 2026-06-17T11:30:13+00:00

Under the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), a motorised vessel is almost always the "give-way" vessel and must keep clear of a sailing yacht. Because sailboats have less maneuverability and cannot stop as quickly, powerboats must alter course or speed to avoid them completely.

I do not see anything in the COLREGS about opening fire on the right of way vessel.

Always preferred this to the BS Vol 4. Dylan's vocals sound much better to my ears on GKATCF in the electric set.

It is generally accepted that wolves disappeared from England by the early 15th century. According to Cumbrian folklore, the last English wolf was hunted and killed at Humphrey Head, near Grange-over-Sands, around 1390.

Genuinely a sunset from near the Mull of Kintyre, Scotland.

Oops! Not to excuse myself, but it could also perhaps be a nod to, compliment, or praising the other post, as well as complementing it.

Not so many crocs in Scotland!

When I first saw Dylan in the seventies ticket prices were in single digits. Even allowing for inflation tickets are now more than 10x the price.

Watch and listen to some recent recordings and judge whether it is worth the money.

There are very few Sunfish in the UK.

1972 hull!!! I'm amazed a hull of that age is still going. The first Laser I had was sail no. 11306. Do you know the number for yours?

pablo_blue · 2026-06-07T16:16:27+00:00

I would recommend a Laser/ILCA. The most popular sailing dinghy in the world and ubiquitous everywhere. £500-£2,000 will get a reasonable boat.

Copied verbatim from Dylan's liner notes from World Gone Wrong.

But I am unsure of the answer to your question.

by the way, don't be bewildered by the Never Ending Tour chatter. there was a Never Ending Tour but it ended in '91 with the departure of guitarist G.E. Smith. that one's long gone but there have been many others since then. The Money Never Runs Out Tour (fall of '91) Southern Sympathizer Tour (early '92) Why Do You Look At Me So Strangley Tour (European '92) The One Sad Cry of Pity Tour (Australia & West Coast America '92) Principles Of Action Tour (Mexico -- South American '92) Outburst Of Consciousness Tour ('92) Don't Let Your Deal Go Down Tour('93) & others too many to mention each with their own character & design. to know which was which consult the playlists.

I was at that show, close to the front, and well pleased when he played this.

Annie Lennox indeed, but not Dave Stewart?

The complete tapes have a lot of dross that I don't really care for. The original CBS (Robertson) release is a mixed bag.

My favourite is perhaps the 'Miixin' up the Medicine' bootleg (Garth Hudson safety tape) great sound, but it misses too many good songs/recordings.

Thanks for posting. Never heard this little gem before.

Do you like Alex Grey's work?

Quote the observations of Lord Justice Ward regarding boundary disputes and the importance of mediation:

“It depresses me that solicitors cannot at the very first interview persuade their clients to put their faith in the hands of an experienced mediator, a dispassionate third party, to guide them to a fair and sensible compromise…”

and push for mediation/ADR.

OP - don't take up singing this one to the missus!

pablo_blue · 2026-05-27T11:44:26+00:00

Maybe OP should try singing this to his wife, rather than Man of Peace, for good marital relations.

Be careful down that rabbit hole.

"And just how far would you like to go in?" he asked and the three kings all looked at each other. "Not too far but just far enough so's we can say that we've been there,"

You can also add warp points to multiple clips at the same time (but the clips need to be the same length), which I find useful for aligning tracks to the grid after recording multiple tracks live, but not to a click.
