March 14th...giornata della matematica, Pi Greco day. Perchè non utilizzare le cifre di π per costruire una spirale, la spirale di Archimede, da appendere in classe o nel corridoio? Se appesa sopra un termosifone o un'altra fonte di calore, diventa una divertente attività ed esperimento con cui scoprire alcune caratteristiche dell'aria: la spirale ruota e si muove perchè spostata dall'aria calda. L’aria calda è più leggera dell’aria fredda perché meno densa e sale verso l’alto. https://maestramonica.it/pi-greco-day-la-spirale-di-archimede-matematica/

Ok so it isn't sailing, but imagine chasing foiling boats with this! 657hp engines from Seven Marine - the world's largest outboards, and there are two of them on the back of this Intrepid powerboat. Absolutely insane, and we reached 65 knots!

Falmouth, Cornwall | The West Country of England is a sailor’s dream. Small, picturesque and historic ports and harbours pepper the coast, many with deep water berths, long navigable rivers and excellent pubs. Falmouth in Cornwall is one of our favourites, where we stopped off for a few days to visit a good friend. This was one of the major ports for Britain’s shipping trade from the 18th to the early 20thCentury, with ships from all around the world anchoring in the harbour to await instructions from their agents as to which port in the British Isles had the best market at that moment. It was also a major fishing port, especially for Pilchards. As a consequence, the town has a rich maritime heritage which lives on to this day, with serious racing for the fine historic Falmouth work boats (with their distinctive coloured tops’ls) and six sailing clubs throughout the Falmouth Estuary. It is also a popular cruise ship destination. The National Maritime Museum in Falmouth is a gem, with exhibits ranging from the first Mirror Dinghy, to a workshop demonstrating traditional boatbuilding and a 1.68m long ‘boat’ called Fathers’ Day that crossed the Atlantic in 1993! There was even a surf exhibition when we visited, as this part of the UK has a strong surf culture, borne of the Atlantic rollers and swell that land on the exposed Cornish and Devon coasts. The shanty-style music that accompanies this video is called ‘The Wellerman’ and has its origins in the whaling industry in Otago, New Zealand.
