Introduction/Definition/etc
DullDrums probably not spelled
that way,
but why not phonetically?
(On the Dole works too,
Pun intended)
What to do with little power/
with sailing:
it's without wind,
and not running the motor,
and just basically
a really big bathtub...
Some of how I pass(ed)
the landlubber
time...

JackAss Boater aka Sam's Key(es) Trip
There's always living vicariously
YouTube channel
has the tracking information
mentioned on a live chat
after some technical boat work video(s):
winches, motor, dinghy part 2, 1, etc
Live and got on that
with how ever many
4? hundreds? of people
I got worried, said 30 hours, and
daily chat/ video(s),
but not what happened
24 hours is a Day,
add 6 and should be there, right?
Well, known for no plan B,
and overly optimistic
(As a depressive,
i find it rather annoyingly
unrealistic, non pragmatic,
and sometimes just plain dangerous,
small boat, go LA to Hawaii,
first video,
then sailing down there
think he will make the point,
high swell, high winds
(his blog explains the conditions better)
but no Plan B,
so what if he doesn't make it
crash into the rocks
and getting bored,
not employed
was a Disney Imagineer,
or something
contract gigs it seemed,
and Disney
may have laid people off,
the resorts closed
with ConVid19, etc...
So I'm posting comments
on the track data
up on YouTube
watching negative elevation numbers,
like he's underwater,
had heard some things after the
(second)
abrupt live chat ending
gotta go,
somethings happening
(colostemy (sp?) bag?),
(Today's Live
his mom gets on chat?
You don't call your mother?
/Ducks)
Pre/As Departing late in day
(Prep takes longer than planned
then Autopilot get an overnight
makeup/next day headstart?)
maybe on this end, idk,
take this bird,
like Coast Guard, boarding,
return this now we'll bird 🐦,
anywhere,
will have tracking on it,
the longer you delay
our boarding
the more we think you have
SomeThing to hide,
and other we are coming aboard,
or sink your boat type stuff,
not pleasant, but never know
May be like traffic stops
texting while boating v.
drunk boating, etc
seems like inattentive at the helm...
Plus some odd flame like light on transom,
I'd not seen required running lights,
not sure about Radar Reflector,
and some other nice to have
on to may be required,
certainly recommended,
but likely costly,
alarms for large ships,
seen on other videos,
not sure about on his
he's like ultralight camping,
JetBoil camp stove, etc
you will be StateDepartment,
show papers,
have rights to,
maybe ConVid19 waiver like,
have friends in high places,
their boss seemed to be on chat,
etc
Thinking on what it might be,
mechanical problems,
others mention engine problems,
cliff hanger, suspense,
did he try to commit?,
some think it's so reckless to sail
in such a small boat on the ocean,
i'm guessing some harmonics,
the swell and wave size
compared to boat length,
ride it out, v crash into
frequency, etc,
but waves over the bow
and all sorts of disaster like videos
exist of big waves, little boats,
seen tsunami and a guy around
one warned of it, but didn't happen,
like destroyed entire towns,
type news broadcasts,
seen must have been on line...
Live County YouTube video
seems to memorializing a former
and now deceased board member...
In addition to the unexpected
memorial, i don't go to funerals,
gave them up for lent/
joke, too down, and don't
do well pretending to be
sympathetic, understanding,
somehow it's incongruent (sp?),
all the losses i've had,
and more of others...
Laugh or cry, i go to laugh,
and don't like the reaction
when i do, gallows humor and all..
Plus i'm not sure if camera on
my smart device is on,
put my finger over where i think it is,
seems like privacy problem,
not knowing if you are being recorded,
official government business
v prerecorded, live chat, is text
would not expect, but not sure what
the other end sees...
On Zoom you can bounce
around, but these are much bigger
supposedly one way things,
public comment and sign up to speak
processes, not sure about online distancing
versions of the same, and it was quickly
rushed to so not sure they really thought it
through, much less accessible...
Previously was FaceBook
and not on that,
but watched a TBH training like video,
so can view after, but not be on while,
live, and other live experiences, but
parameters, even searching after
didn't tell me anything (useful)...
Outing Friday? Exercise/ Shopping
Likely nap, as way of shutting down,
typing drivel on YT Comments
only goes so far, sometimes,
just take a break,
so
some outing ( Friday?)
PostHolidayTreats2020
for Easter
I'd seen then wait for sales/clearance
and buy decide to buy
oddly Swedish Fish Minis
with Eggs ,
(Swedish Fish is the name of
Sam's First Boat)
other Easter Candy, cookies,
misc chocolate(s)
really cheap,
but hit the closing time,
AldiBXRdsGrandOpening2019
has gone to a line, limited number of
people in the store, for Distancing,
plus an ego boost to clerks/ etc
playing Bouncers/ Exclusive Club
Private Party only list(s)...
(but Harbour Freight
is moving in next door
tore down a wall, for an entrance,
old BabiesRUs (sp?) was too big
for just an Aldi,
they need less floor space
as only have one
(house brand) of things, mostly)
and 5 minutes before close
got sweated for entry,
after a > 30 min attempt to
get there in time, decided late,
and momentum to get going,
an object at rest stays at rest,
(lock in like orders)
an object in motion stays in motion
until acted upon by an outside force
(physics law of momentum? /
conservation of energy,
forget exact name)
So it took a bit to get me going out...
Jimmy Buffet ReBroadCast Live Chat
So Saturday Night got notice of a
Jimmy Buffet concert rebroadcast,
some outlets are making stuff available
to help people stuck in with Shelter in Place/
Stay at Home orders, etc...
Chat of 4k people, someone doing hitting m
key, like hmmm? or just rocking to the beat,
maybe Mute, and it stops, blocked?
some intervention, not sure the
host, or what?
MargarittaVille reminding me
of Spring Break 2013
motorcycling to Daytona Beach's
BikeWeek
then on down to Key West,
my first times in Florida
(Flat, sunBurned,
only burned money faster...)
Mostly good memories,
my mother wanted me to look into
Flagler (?), as a relative had
done photography for him
and might have been buried
down there?
I was between places,
and short on time and money
so didn't, she later died,
but didn't mention it again,
just some of those things
that come up
after the fact...
/NostalgiaControl?
/Ruminating?
Misc
I give up on worrying/
doing something about it,
many times,
not my place, he has family,
it's the Coast Guard's jurisdiction,
leave decisions to others,
I can suggest,
but bounce off others too,
as may be missing a lot of information,
even if not the only one wondering why
no word?
I had caught up on some of the old
videos and replied to what seems
like Sam's mom responding to
it's not his Dad's, it's Her workshop,
she did a stool upholstering,
on his build a dinghie/ dinghy,
folding kind of stacking inside,
two parts bolted? together,
and steam bending (ribs like),
sanding, epoxy resin,
and fabric like shell,
interesting some building tech,
some design,
not inflatable, as first one(s)
he's upgraded a few feet
since his Ranger 23'
to Hawaii sold there,
and flew back,
(as i had guessed he might
before even seeing other videos)
Met a similar cruising girl,
with a bigger boat,
Sam got some work in Japan,
video there, disjointed to me,
jump one place to anther like a
video game, little intro, background,
drop, just action footage,
I've been getting some
personal attacks
by some online,
Some examples:
Shut Up, you're boring,
even
corrected on Person First terminology
on WheelChair and VICE ConVid19
effecting disabled...
and reporting harassment,
on others, some into Pot,
i'm supposedly just a weed hater,
after 3+ tours of Substance Abuse
(2 detox, one dual diagnosis treatment
internships, and it's not something
i support, while some may now be medicinal,
but likely not something good for most,
imnsho, so oddly Virginia is legalizing
which seems to mean second hand
smoke problems, and all sorts of others...
what are you saying,
EmailListRoadKill2018
like but not mod privs...
later
Sam just pops up a tech video
i guess backlog of processing the trip
he's on now...
Like viewers worrying is nothing,
It's seemingly Autistic Spectrum like?
which might explain a lot...
And today another LiveChat...
including the trip down,
but not much on that,
soliciting money?
Busking on line?
Might be how it's done,
not much, maybe $30 in advertising
revenue from posting a video
with a lot of followers
subbed and views...

What Can Be Found?
What Can Not Be Found?
How To Analyze?
Lenses
Assumptions
Sailing is risky...
Catastrophizing is more an anxiety
disorder, which isn't me...
BeWare of the Ides of March
sometimes is another
Zero problem,
March turns into April,
15 and tax time,
all sorts of shit happens
this time of year too...
Time Limits
Eventually find someone,
either the boat,
body, wreckage (post sharks ate
their fill, etc)
and/or search abandoned...
like the Kennedy's...

well, maybe

or

closer to originally thought of,
though probably more a story line
version without much of the
concert footage...
(perhaps acting out celebrity
breakups?)
Trains version
Close but no cigar,
Well, Hasselhoff
with ears of corn
It is Corny...
