The Yacht Delivery of a Rustler 42 - Falmouth to Southampton
The yacht delivery of a Rustler 42 from Falmouth to Southampton.
We had the pleasure of delivering a beautiful new Rustler 42 for Rustler Yachts from Falmouth to the Southampton Boatshow.
The Skipper is a commercially endorsed Ocean Yachtmaster. The Crew are also commercially endorsed Yachtmasters.

A Trans Atlantic Yacht Delivery - Rustler 42
The Trans Atlantic yacht delivery of a beautiful Rustler 42 from Tortola, BVI to St Mawes (near Falmouth) Cornwall, UK.
The trip covered 4000 Nautical Miles and involved stops in Bermuda and La Coruna, Spain.
Mor Toad, a lovely and well equipped yacht (with generator , water maker, satellite phone, espresso machine etc) looked after her 4 crew impeccably.
This film was recorded and edited by one of the crew, and he says:
The water temperature started at 28c and at the end was 14 c!
Good winds. Enough diesel for 500 miles. Lots of wildlife. Whales dolphins, turtles, flying fish, sunfish, sharks. At night luminous squid. The stars were amazing!!! - when moonless we saw the Milky Way.
We met some amazing people. For 4 guys sharing a 42 ft yacht for 40 days we all got on great. A brilliant trip!!!

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The technological and industrial history of Canada encompasses the country's development in the areas of transportation, communication, energy, materials, public works, public services (health care), domestic/consumer and defense technologies. Most technologies diffused in Canada came from other places; only a small number actually originated in Canada. For more about those with a Canadian origin, see Invention in Canada.
The terms chosen for the age described below are both literal and metaphorical. They describe the technology that dominated the period in question but are also representative of a large number of other technologies introduced during the same period. Also of note is the fact that the period of diffusion of a technology can begin modestly and can extend well beyond the age of its introduction. To maintain continuity, the treatment of its diffusion is dealt with in the context of its dominant age. For example, the Steam Age here is defined as being from 1840 to 1880. However, steam-powered boats were introduced in 1809, the CPR was completed in 1885 and railway construction in Canada continued well into the 20th century. To preserve continuity, the development of steam, in the early and later years, is therefore considered within the Steam Age.
Technology is a major cultural determinant, no less important in shaping human lives than philosophy, religion, social organization, or political systems. In the broadest sense, these forces are also aspects of technology. The French sociologist Jacques Ellul defined la technique as the totality of all rational methods in every field of human activity so that, for example, education, law, sports, propaganda, and the social sciences are all technologies in that sense. At the other end of the scale, common parlance limits the term's meaning to specific industrial arts.
