Pilot on his phone while entering port, but wind a big factor: max allowable (20kn) when they entered then unexpected wind increase as they arrive. See the video and ATSB report.

Went to the beach to mark my favourite day of the year. When the days get warmer and feel longer. The first flowers blooming. The shift from Djilba to Kambarang as the locals call it. The beginning of Spring.

Picture from today in Boorloo (Perth). A bit of ironic juxtaposition here. Hope we can end the food blockade in #Gaza and feed the kids of #Palestine.

52 years ago S.S. Wilson's article "Bicycle Technology" based on data from VA Tucker's article "Energetic cost of locomotion in animals" included this graph. Surprised it wasn't in this article. I wonder how much the numbers have changed since then.

Recently took 'The Deathtrap' out for a range test.
She was built with mostly scrap and around $200 of used electrics.
17km before it gave me a low battery warning. Spent most of that time at ~40kmph. Not bad.

This is what it looks like when you add everything up. Gives the facade that something was achieved.
