Is it likely that #paleolithic #clactonian deposits such as found in the channel fills in Clacton and at Jaywick Sands extend significant distances into the nearshore of the estuary? curious sailor here.

The sea has many many moods - today the water gently kissed the hull, hissing slightly as air and water blended in a quiet foam, rushing past Trilleen’s hull and swiftly settling astern, covering our path as if we had never been.

very sad and disturbed that the Health Services Safety Investigation Body is being scrapped. #HumanFactors bodies are a positive contributor to safety and desperately needed in the #NHS @hssib.bsky.social

a classic β€˜shetland boat’ with its wide midsection and symetrycak ends sits in a tarmac car park under a blue clouded sky in the harbourside.

a classic β€˜shetland boat’ with its wide midsection and symetrycak ends sits in a tarmac car park under a blue clouded sky in the harbourside.

this classic shetland boat form looks almost like a toy with its symmetrical bow and stern section and central mast. The ?yoal hull owes its origin to norse design and is specially suited to riding these harsh northern waters. #shetland #visitshetland #unst #baltasound

Muckle Flugga is the northernmost point of Shetland, and the whole United Kingdom. Looks can be deceiving, I shot this from Trilleen close hauled into 20kt and building. The raw video gives a better feel for the day

A lighthouse in white paint stands on a dark rock outcropping. Behind a sheer cliff with green soft foliage clinging to the slopes rises out of the sea

this is Muckle Flugga, the top mark of my circumnavigation of the United Kingdom. One broken mast, one failed engine and a whole lot of trouble later its great to be ticking off major headlands in the trip again

On Westray island in the north group in Orkney, buildings remain which are roofed vast stone slab - pointing to the islanders expertise with this unusual building material - from the self supported cantilever of the Maeshowe to the proposed roofing of Skara Brae #archeology #orkney #visitorkney

Noup Head, the westernmost outcropping of Westray in the north group in the Orkney Isles. Noup Hd is a horizontally stratified sandstone cliff rising sheer out of a calm blue sea, topped by Noup Head light which was the first to use a mercury bearing for the light #landscape #orkney #westray

A 41mm high delicate pink sandstone figurine with a wide base - perhaps singfying a female pelvis, with an elliptical head. Fine details in the head are thought to imply facial details. 3800 BC-2500 BC. Background pale pink and green, displayed on black plinth

The spectacular if diminutive neolithic figurine known as the Westray Wifey discovered at the links of Noltland, Orkney. The earliest neolithic figurine in Scotland 3800 BC-2500 BC. Perhaps female, perhaps not. #archeology #westray #orkney #neolithic #figurine

yep. Write the story. Be confident in the story, have your editor check everything and approve, get legaled. Funky.

and there is a proper progression in care. it’s a hard job breaking bodies and minds and people need to move up the skills ladder otherwise they will leave. Sadly I support your analysis and think this may in the rear view mark the start of deinstitutionalisation
