tempest

This week's host, Ryan Foland, takes us behind-the-scenes as he gets his ASA 101 Certification on a Tempest at Alamitos Bay Yacht Club (ABYC). Ryan is an ABYC member and Jr Staff Commodore of the Blue Water Cruising Club (BWCC), and is getting his credentials to teach sailing, a longtime goal of his. Hear what’s unique about a Tempest, how to stay patient on (and off) the water, problem-solving at sea, how to handle low winds and high winds, and an impromptu Tempest race. Learn more about Ryan at https://ryan.online/ and learn more about ABYC’s adult sailing program at ABYC.org

In this episode - David set up his new burrow. Giovanni presses buttons. Tess has shape-based nostalgia. Greg explains sword logic.

This week's ATARI BYTES episode, 272 for those scoring at home, is totally tubular (that's for you Gen Xers)

Or is it? We're playing the unfinished 1984 effort TEMPEST, which tries to translate the 3D tubes the action plays out on on the arcade screen onto our home screens. Listen to find out if it works. We also talk about Shakespeare and say the word "panties". A lot. 

This week's short story from Bad Poetry Corner: Parched in a Tempest.

Thanks to Kevin McLeod at Incompetech.com for creative commons use of his songs "Take a Chance", "Reformat" and "Pinball Spring". 

Thanks to Sean Courtney for the Storytime theme.
