There is so much disinformation about the "Super El Nino" floating around the internet b/c mentioning any sort of mechanism that affects weather seems to start a shouting match. So here's a good video that gives you JUST the info you need in under 2 minutes.

Yesterday, when entering the Sound off #Copenhagen at Helsingoer, this freighter let out white smoke. At first I thought it was on fire, but after 5 minutes it stopped. Presumably it was burning heavy fuel oil that it is no longer allowed to use to enter the harbour. #sailing #Zero #pollution

Tucholsky veröffentlichte "Rosen auf den Weg gestreut" unter seinem Pseudonym Theobald Tiger am 31. März 1931 in "Die Weltbühne" Tucholsky richtet seinen Angriff deshalb nicht nur gegen die Faschisten selbst. Er verspottet vor allem den beschwichtigenden Umgang mit ihnen.

I had to change the manual water pump at the pantry because it was leaking. A comparison of the two pumps on the foto shows that the seals of the old pump had retracted. That's why it was leaking. #zero #sailingwork #waterpump #sailboat #sailingsoonagain #repairaftercafe

We had a reasonable sailing day with a stern wind and waves that rocked the boat quite a bit. Fortunately, nobody got sick. Have you ever felt sick while sailing? In the evening we were rewarded with a fantastic sunset. I love the endless northern summer light. #zero #sailing #sunset #sweden
