The engineering of this vessel is simply unparalleled. Witnessing the primary engine setup alongside dual Northern Lights generators demonstrates an uncompromising commitment to reliability on the water. The redundancy extends effectively to the water makers, and the massive lazarette offers extensive storage, including dedicated space for dive tanks and a cockpit-mounted compressor. Every detail, from the extensive battery bank managed by high-quality Victron chargers, speaks to exceptional foresight in design and execution. It truly sets the absolute benchmark for mechanical spaces. #BoatTour #BoatLife #SarahBurleson #YachtTour #SeattleYachts #Yachting #LuxuryLifestyle #NorthernMarine #RickHoffman #Superyacht #LuxuryTravel #YachtLens #LuxuryYacht #ExpeditionYacht #Cheemaun #yacht #engine #marineengineering #boatmaintenance #luxuryyacht #clean #nautical #shorts #vessel #power
I really wanted to love this Bajang (also known as Zongzi). It’s a masterpiece of culinary engineering: sticky rice, savory fillings, and that iconic pyramidal shape, all bound by the ancient technology of the banana leaf. This dish dates back over 2,000 years to the Zhou Dynasty. Legend says it was born as a ritual offering to honor the poet Qu Yuan, thrown into rivers to prevent fish from eating his body. It’s a symbol of loyalty and survival, a portable meal designed for ancient travelers and warriors. As a researcher, I admire the craft. The leaf infuses the rice with polyphenols and a distinct grassy aroma, a perfect example of indigenous cuisine using nature as a pressure cooker. But strictly from a taste perspective? It didn’t click for me today. The flavor profile is complex, dense, and deeply traditional, but sometimes food heritage challenges our modern palates. And that’s okay. My mission isn’t to find "tasty" food, it’s to preserve the taste of history. Is this a masterpiece or just an acquired taste? Have you tried Bajang? Let’s talk in the comments. 👇 Culinary anthropologist tasting traditional Bajang (Zongzi) wrapped in banana leaves at Yaowarat, Bangkok’s Chinatown street food market.

The Rolex Middle Sea Race concluded on 27 October, marking the end of the 2018 Mediterranean yachting season. See the Rolex film trailer of this 606-nautical-mile offshore race from Malta’s Grand Harbour, taking in the Strait of Messina, Stromboli’s active volcano and the islands of Favignana, Pantelleria and Lampedusa. Among the record 130 yachts competing in the 50th anniversary edition, the 115-ft Nikita was the largest ever to participate. Rolex timepieces were awarded to George David’s Maxi Rambler 88 for taking Monohull Line Honours for the fourth consecutive year, and to Courrier Recommandé, from France, for the overall win.
