Field notes

Between explanation and experience.

Notes on sailing, learning, simulation, product decisions, and the small moments when an idea becomes useful.

01

The boat sailed away without me

What a small-lake mistake still says about the difference between explanation and experience.

02

What digital practice can—and cannot—do

A useful boundary for sailing education software, and why that boundary makes the work better.

03

Do you have the sea room to practice a jibe?

Why room changes the quality of practice, the questions we can ask, and the mistakes we can learn from.
