Tracing the lines felt like a practice of knowing transfer, from the Polynesian seafarers who inspired these designs through to James Wharram who dreamt up this design, the women who drew this ideas into self-build plans, and those now guiding and advising us, to us, our kids, the volunteers.
We reached a milestone, drawing the lines of our 41ft wooden catamaran.

Three women crossed the North Atlantic Ocean on a 50-year-old wooden catamaran they spent a year renovating themselves. They filmed the 30-day crossing and collected data on ocean plastics. I’m privileged to have produced the film. Watch it on Kinema until July 27th: kinema.com/events/Women...

FYI people, these hyper-litigious thin-skinned wastrels burn through public resources at a far greater rate than scientific grants. In case you’re wondering where to shove that “refund” DOGE is (never) going to give you.
So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Please, please archive your work. Please. I’ve recently been saving lots of my essays as pdfs just so the Internet doesn’t suddenly delete them all (this happened to a whole load of blogs I wrote for The Independent years ago). I don’t want you to wake up and suddenly find your work gone like I did.
