The love, attention, and security only adults can offer liberates children from the need to make themselves invulnerable and restores to them that potential for life and adventure that can never come from risky activities, extreme sports, or drugs. Without that safety our children are forced to sacrifice their capacity to grow and mature psychologically, to enter into meaningful relationships, and to pursue their deepest and most powerful urges for self-expression. In the final anal-ysis, the flight from vulnerability is a flight from the self. If we do not hold our children close to us, the ultimate cost is the loss of their ability to hold on to their own truest selves. #healingonboard #healingjourney #mentalhealthawareness #traumarecovery #selfcare #resilience #childhoodtrauma #survivor #copingmechanisms

North Star and Clipperton were out on charter last week, showing off Scotland’s wild beauty under sail. From steady breezes to classic west-coast swells, both crews enjoyed the kind of conditions that remind you why these waters are a favourite among seasoned sailors. #SailingScotland #NorthStar #Clipperton #CharterSailing #GoWestSailing #SailorsLife #SailScotland #YachtCharterScotland

Catamarans are the perfect boats to dry out on a beach, or, as many do in tidal areas (including ourselves), use a half tide drying mooring. If the boat has daggerboards then sensibly the rudders should lift to avoid damage, especially if the tide/wind causes waves when refloating. I have used the method seen in this video for 40 years. Very simple and works easily. Please note that this boat is over 30 years old, and I had never tried to lift the rudders with one hand before! Hence the initial hesitation. They would lift more easily if the shafts were greased. A simple snap hook holds the rudder up. Some people use "dinghy style" lifting rudders but that means the blades stick out behind the boat, which has often led to breakages when in a crowded anchorage and unsuspecting dinghies pass in the night. This rudder system works exactly like a conventional semi-balanced rudder when it in the down position. And has the advantage that the whole rudder can be taken off the boat by simply undoing one bolt. And no shaft leaks either! The thin ropes led through blocks to a cleat on the tiller are connected to the outboard. So the engine turns with the rudders, significantly increasing manouverability! I write more about steering systems on my website, see here https://www.sailingcatamarans.com/index.php/19-faqs/sailing-and-performance-questions/109-which-steering-system-should-i-use

Zum Lernen, eine Idee ist die Funktion Zufallswiedergabe der Playlists zu nutzen. For learning, a good idea is to use the random functionality of the play lists. Per l'apprendimento, una buona idea è utilizzare la funzionalità casuale delle playlist.
