Didn’t you hear? The winds were gusting up to TWENTY THREE MILES PER HOUR! 🫣

They had been circumnavigating since 2022, and the captain has over 50 years of experience. Why should they not have been there?

@sparkeyjones6261 If you can not sail in 23 mph winds, you should not have been there. I have been sailing a 56 foot motorsailor for 15 years, have sailed in winds more than 23 mph quite a few times. That is JMHO

@@HaroldMartin-p3u Of course, where I live and sail, we get 23 mph winds pretty much every afternoon in the summer. That's not what they experienced. If you dig a little deeper, you'll find the crew of the Time-Aut saying it was 60 knot winds with swells approaching 10 meters. I think one misinformed writer put out an article about the event, and it was picked up by multiple news outlets.

Thanks! Took a few tries to get it right. Haha

Please tell the man in the Sail Local shirt that John Brown was hanged by the neck until he was dead. John W. Brown was the Canadian born American labor that the ship was named for. Art Wadsworth

Thats the point of an economy. To profit off another person. Money only exist for the power it has over others.

It means local communities can focus on working in better paying industries while still taking advantage of cheaper products.

@@taoliu3949 When employers hire immigrants on visas for lower wages instead of paying locals a living wage, several negatives arise: Depressed Wages: Local wage levels can stagnate or drop due to cheaper labor competition. Exploitation: Immigrant workers may face poor conditions, longer hours, or threats of deportation. Local Unemployment: Fewer job opportunities for local workers, leading to unemployment or underemployment. Erosion of Standards: Worker rights, safety, and benefits may be compromised as employers cut costs. Social Tension: Job competition can create resentment, increasing xenophobia. Economic Impact: Lower wages for locals reduce consumer spending and harm local economies. Lower Work Quality: Cheaper labor may result in less qualified workers and reduced productivity. Reputational Risk: Companies may face backlash for perceived exploitation or unethical practices.

Business greed? Maybe it was workers greed if they keep wanting more and more money. So it’s their fault when they don’t want to work we will fund someone else to do the job.

@survivalSC maybe you're not understanding. How is it negative to ask for a living wage, especially if that individual is local and will spend locally in their community? Paying someone else that isn't from that country/community isn't conductive, especially if the funds never make it back in the community their working out of.

It’s about ten feet. Goes to about 5 feet closer toward Thames Street.
