L’Association #Jlij pour l’ #Environnement#Marin a annoncé aujourd’hui qu’une #tortue#marine secourue à #Djerba le samedi 30 décembre 2023 a atteint aujourd’hui la réserve marine de #Salloum sur les côtes #égyptiennes en passant par toutes les côtes #libyennes. Elle a été localisée et repérée grâce à un émetteur placé sur son dos.
On the boat towards Travemünde \o/ It's been a few hectic days getting everything ready, but finally on the way. Now it's 30 hours of looking at the sea, and possibly hacking on things a bit to pass the time.
Having spent an hour queuing into the boat in hot sunshine with no shelter, kind of looking forward to the what looks like a bit cooler temperatures in Germany - at least for now :P Once I arrive, my plan is to do a night ride from Lübeck to Hamburg, and catch the early morning train towards the south. Weather forecast says I'll be getting wet.
Also, I managed to get rid of the clicking noise on my bike, yay! It seems on the Marin DSX 1, the saddle post is too long for the frame. If you lower it to the lowest it will go (which I did when I installed my saddle, which has a slightly higher profile than the original one), the seatpost will actually hit the bottom of the tube 🤯. I really hope I've not damaged the frame by riding it like this for months. After raising the saddle by 1cm, the worst of the clicking noise disappeared instantly. There is still a little bit of noise when putting a lot of pressure on the pedals, so something to check up on later, but mostly it's now quiet to ride.
Zmiany zmiany zmiany ;). Sprzedałem rower #Marin Bobcat Trail 5. Dzielnie służył przez ponad 3 lata. Zmieniłem na #Marin Four Corners, jednak wolę po szuterku względnie po asfalcie. A jak mi się zechce to i w lesie sobie poradzi. Pierwszy raz rower z barankiem.

The folks at Muttville are seeing unprecedented rates of senior dogs being euthanized at other shelters, and they’re responding with a huge push to take in and find homes for 100 of those adorable mutts.

📷 There's a beach in Marin, at Rancho Sausalito where I worked with dozens of models in the 90s.
The tide had to be out to reach that small, horseshoe-shaped beach, and even then, we got wet. But the spot was unlike any other—hundred-foot red stone cliffs, giant boulders and sand that glinted like diamonds in pictures.
My secret.
A nude, bald man approached one Sunday before sunset, and I offered to photograph him and swap prints for our privacy. He'd have to leave after.
The spot where I worked is two coves/beaches behind this one on Tennessee Beach, the name it was given by the National Park Service. Rancho Saucelito is the name of the original Mexican land grant, made in 1838 to and eventually lost by William Anthony Richardson. Richardson, a Brit, was a key developer of Yerba Buena, the original name of what is now San Francisco.
Lots of #speedLimit signs in #Marin County also show the speed of the vehicle. Sometimes it curtails speeds as people don't realize how fast they are going.
