Was this a debate about tennis balls? My spouse and I have had this exact disagreement!

They also have the Clog Boot if you are specifically after a boot look.

Are jelly platforms something you’d consider?

I recommend looking into raw denim communities if there are any on lemmy. Japanese denim might give you what you are looking for. I have a pair of Edwin 503s that sound a lot like what you are asking about.

If we did a straight shot from here it would be around 2.7 days. Weather is looking better to do a couple of hops down the coast though and then cross to the Bahamas so hopefully by the end of the week.

Thanks! It’s going great. It’s definitely a big change but we are loving it. Currently in Charleston and we anchored right beside a huge warship (the Yorktown) when we first got here. It’s getting too cold here so we need to head to warmer climates.

My parents flew in to visit and help us sail to the Bahamas today. They are used to sailing on lake Taupo so this will be a bit different for them, hopefully in a good way. We’ve been living on the boat and sailing around the US east coast for a few months now. It was nice to finally show them our new home!

We got underway and did a 3 night passage to head up to the Annapolis boat show. Weather made us tuck in before cape Hatteras though so we have been exploring North Carolina. I guess Blackbeard’s ship wrecked at the inlet here so they are still pulling up artefacts from it and you can see them at the local museum. Pretty cool. Back to sea tomorrow!

I sent this to my doctor friend and she thought it was really cool too. She said she used to practice on pigs. Kombucha scoby is a way better option!

Wow that is so interesting!

My work place has an app to open the front door. I refuse to use it and will continue to inconvenience myself by using my key.
