off duty.
The rest of this site is the operator — boards, incidents, credentials. This corner is the part with no risk register: what gets flown, what gets dived, what gets sailed, what gets raced, and the code that isn't client work. A short version of most of it already lives on the about page; this is where it gets room to breathe.
Five things that aren't work.
Each gets the long version — the short version is on the about page.
Flying
Standard aerobatic rating, and a slower, more deliberate habit of VFR cross-country flying. Same discipline as the day job, better view.
Diving
Weekends in Gibraltar, Instructor in Oban, a year captaining a Caribbean liveaboard, a winter teaching in Kefalonia, then Scapa Flow and the Lusitania on a rebreather — every site, and the log rebuilt from memory.
Maritime
The licences, SV Linea, five Atlantic crossings, two ships commanded, three years as RNLI crew at West Mersea, and five years running the Yacht Checkin Service.
Motorsport
Two seasons of Monoposto single-seaters, runner-up in Mono 1800 in 2013, then a year in a Ginetta G55: the GT4 SuperCup on the BTCC bill, and Britcar class wins in the dark at Brands Hatch. Every race, from the timing sheets.
Open source
The code that isn't client work — including an open threat-intelligence project running quietly in the background.
