Animated Knots.

On one of the forums about cruising I frequent, I found the site Animated Knots. It’s the coolest site about knots I have ever seen. The contents of the site also can be purchased as a program, to run independent from the internet.

Hiking in Anhui

Posted in China, Outdoors, Travel at 10:08 am by Stranded Mariner

Last weekend we went hiking in Anhui province, not far from the Yellow Mountains. The name of the trail is ‘Hui Hang Gu Dao’, which means literally ‘The Old Path’. From Shanghai it is about 7 - 8 hours driving, which makes it ideal for a long weekend. I just had bought a lot of new hiking and camping equipment in the past months, and this was an excellent opportunity to break it in.

It’s great to be away from the city and enjoy clean air, blue skies and silence. I will definitely be back here soon.
