Quicksilver 875 SD The Activ 875 Sundeck is raising the bar. Or should we say: extending the sun lounge? It boasts the biggest sundeck in its category. So, go ahead and invite up to 12 people for a cruise in the sun or onboard BBQ. Friends can even join for multi-day trips, because the cabin sleeps 4.

When parrotfish sleep at night, they often secrete a mucus "sleeping bag" around themselves for protection from predators. The bags also have antibiotic properties that are beneficial for the fish. There are over 30 species of parrotfish on the Great Barrier Reef and you are usually guaranteed to see these magnificently coloured creatures swimming over the corals. They all share a few common traits, the most obvious being their teeth. Parrotfish evolved from the carnivorous wrasse family, but through the course of time, their teeth have moved forward on the jawbone and reduced in size. Eventually, the teeth fused together creating a very useful tool for scratching algae off the surface of the coral. Filmed at Norman Reef recently, check out this video clip of a parrotfish tucked away for the night while the coral spawns. Vision courtesy of Satoshi Kagimoto, Indepth Video.

With so few Pettersson launches for sale, particularly in the UK, VIRGO is a very attractive proposition for anyone looking to acquire an excellent example of C.G. Pettersson’s work, or simply a gorgeous ‘runabout’ or tender. http://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/553/VIRGO VIRGO is a classic wooden launch designed by the renowned C.G. Pettersson of Sweden in 1925 and fully restored to her former glory by the craftsmen of Clare Lallow’s boatyard at Cowes on the Isle of Wight. When one looks at her beautifully varnished hull and gleaming fittings, you would find it hard to appreciate that this vintage launch is nearly 90 years old. With her new Beta 60 Marine engine, ancillary gear and completely new electrical systems, VIRGO combines classic 1920s style - especially Pettersson’s trademark raised foredeck - with 21st Century technology.

Giorno 15 - IONIO Il nostro viaggio verso la Sicilia prosegue. Come dicevamo ieri, aumentano i giorni e aumentano le miglia. Per curiosità, finora ne abbiamo percorse 570, partendo da Lignano Sabbiadoro, in Friuli. Ci fermeremo in Sicilia? Neanche per sogno. Ma tempo al tempo. Ci sarà occasione di sederci a tavolino, guardarci bene negli occhi e raccontarci i progetti futuri. Per il momento godiamoci il presente. Il nostro ci vede a navigare nel mar ionio, durante una giornata calma, priva di vento, povera di onde e di grandi variazioni. Trovo avventure sbirciando nei libri. Per essere precisi, nelle avventure di Ulisse, narrate attraverso la penna di Valerio Massimo Manfredi, nel libro “Il mio nome è Nessuno”. Così, mentre Julia scivola su mari tranquilli e Odisseo si prepara alla guerra contro Priamo, io e Andrea prendiamo le misure di questa nuova vita, accompagnati dal nostro felino del cuore. A domani ❤️ C.
