Howdy y'all.

So I've been meditating for a pretty long time. On and off for years really, and I've always really struggled with it. My first few years were way too striving forward, and now I'm beginning to understand it all a bit more I think. I've read MI a few times, and I'm reading it again now. I'm not sure where I am on the levels; I think with my current issue I'm somewhere between a strong 2 and a low 4.

My big issue though for months (been going daily for 45minutes since september), is not only drowsiness, but a complete and very fast collapse of peripheral awareness. I know exactly when it happens, I see it happen, then I find the breath again. But it's quite uncomfortable. Like

Hey yall

Been meditating in and of for years but the past 65 days or so every day.

45 minutes. I set a few bells. First 10min is body scan. Next 20 is mindfulness and attention to breath. 10min for loving kindness. 5 minutes to allow my mind to wander and I see what happens.

I wanted to sort of share our all about something. On my out breath I don't feel much and often find myself falling into a very deep micro dream. I'll become other people and it'll feel like I've been them a lifetime, or I'll picture impossible shapes, or feelings as colors, or all sorts of other wild things, then come back my next in breath. My issue is that I feel like I can't concentrate or be mindful when I tota

I've got the mast down now, and I'm wondering if it'd be worth it to get a VHF/AIS antenna for future upgrade down the road to getting AIS. Does anyone know if those antennas are backwards compatible with old VHF radios?

I have old ST40 devices mounted on my companionway. The wind meter finally broke, and I think the rotavecta wind transducer is pretty bad, so I'm going to update. I have the p70s autopilot as well, but it's not getting the wind info as of right now (seatalk 1 isn't connected to the setalkng network).

I was thinking about getting the i60, keeping the old ST speed and depth meters, and mounting it above the companionway. That way I have all 3 visable, because it'll be out of reach. I'll probably install a seatalk 1 to ng converter so all info can get around.

The other option would be to get the i70. That'll be a complete system, I'll clear out all the seatalk 1 stuff, but the issue then wi

Anyone ever paint their hulls? I've got a 35ft Fiberglass sail and wondering if I could go blue

Hey everyone. I'm new to sailing. I'm wondering what everyone does with their boats when they leave it at the dock for the week? Seacocks, marine fridges, head, water tanks, electrical, all that stuff. Mine's a 35ft if that matters

Hey. I just stepped my mast after shipping my boat and now my raymarine st40 wind reads way too high. Like it will read 50kts in 5kts wind. Not sure what could've happened. If anyone's had this problem let me know. It came with the roveteca transducer and only has cups with one offset to give direction.

Hey, just wondering, I've been really struggling with any loving-kindness meditations for a long time. The feeling that I almost always have is a black hole where my heart is, and any loving kindness directed towards myself disappears there. I can sometimes muster some loving-kindness for others, like my loved ones, but I often find my mind wanders to how stressful they can be, and the ways they hurt me. Honestly I find loving-kindness easiest towards those I don't know, like general loving-kindness.

If anyone has any tips, or has been through something like this, I'd love to hear about it.

So I'm brand new to sailing. Just bought a 1986, 35 foot Mirage and had to have it shipped to my harbor. So if course had the mast stepped. Turns out place that stepped the mast was 'no service' meaning they step the mast and that's it. When I first connected the wiring the ratheon st40 wind meter was reading all over the place. Way too fast and wrong direction. I figured I could adjust the transducer later. Once I get out to the slip there's no reading at all. Anchor light pops the fuse now too. VHF can be really tough to make out now too but some songs are clear, and since it's new and I'm new in not sure what's normal. I called the port that did the step and they shrugged their shoulders
