What is funny is to mouse over the links and see where they actually go to. The latest one that made it through the university spam blocker was to a .br address. I think that is Brazil

Sounds like a great way to get in some sea time and a little income too, Symon. As a landlubber thought-what does "pipe berth" as in "a pipe berth kind of guy" mean?

Basically a hammock stretched over a frame of aluminum pipes. Reeaaal comfy. Racing machines are stripped down for weight, so no beds or soft bunks, or any of that. I've been on a couple where the owner has a setee bunk, but that's about it. Here's the inside of a Nelson Marek offshore racer. This one actually has some pads on top of the canvas.

Danke!

Why not remove them in their entirety in those craft stripped down for weight considerations, Symon? Or are these still kept 'just in case' the craft was used for some overnight trip?

My wife is a veterinary radiologist and regularly reads cases from your neck of the woods. The interwebs is a wonderful thing.

Anyways, she's reading a case from some clearly Scandinavian town (it's got all the long vowel sounds and the circle thingy over the letter A too). They use radioopaque markers to indicate the animal's sides on the radiograph marked with "H" on the animal's right side (we would use an "R" here). H? What's that?

H="Höger", Swedish for "Right". Left side would be "Vänster".

Transpac takes a week and PV is 4-5 days, then schlepping it from Long Beach to SFO or Seattle. Gotta sleep somewhere. After a race, some of the crew sleep on-board so they don't have to pay for hotel rooms. There's also racing rules that mandate certain equipment and accommodations; berths (so ya use pipe berths), a head (portapotty), a stove (2 burner Coleman campstove), a working auxiliary (well it's installed anyway), safety gear (taken very seriously) ... food is sometimes a loaf of bread, a jar of peanut butter and a knife

Would the Finns use "S" and "D" for their markers? That's "Dexter" and "Sinister" for right and left, but I think this is a Latin origin convention used in N. Europe, but maybe not for the Finns.

I have no idea if they use that. Otherwise, the Finnish words for left is "vasen" and right is "oikea".
