Very cool! Nicely written too, I appreciate the technical depth and examples.

If you like Linux distributions/systems with an emphasis on a single language and custom init systems, I'd encourage you to take a peek at GUIX. It has an init system written in scheme called shepherd.

I'd say, per your definition which I agree with BTW, GUIX falls on the distribution side of things.

Looks beautiful. Where'd you go?

Excellent! Sounds like fun.

Love the figurehead. What's its name?

Where are you headed?

I saw one of these for the first time two weeks ago. So cool!

How'd she handle?

I imagine it depends on the type of battery and the usage, but if you have a battery meter you could measure it. Use the house bank for a day, measure the voltage, run the engine for an hour, measure it again. Looks like the number you want to get to is probably 12.8 V: https://naturesgenerator.com/blogs/news/lead-acid-battery-voltage-chart

 

Had to get out of the sun for a few moments while doing some boat work. Got a good long look at the mast.

 

Wrote some info on how to make those rope bags I posted earlier.

 

Learn about the man himself!

 

Stole this from another sub (don't know how to cross-post) but it's an interesting application of sailing.

 

Thar she blows!

Behold my knockoff Ronstan rope bag. Going to mount this with some SNADs to the back of the cockpit.
