Facing adversity became a reality for Tyler Turner long before 2020 rolled around. Ty lost both his feet in a skydiving accident 3 years ago. Since then he’s become a pro at living “a new normal.” His injuries altered the course of his life dramatically, taking away many of his choices, while simultaneously opening up incredible opportunities. This year alone Ty competed in the ISA World Para Surf championship; he joined the NextGen Canadian Para Snowboard team and is trying to qualify for the next Olympics (whenever they may be…); he bought a live-aboard sailboat with his girlfriend, Kayleen, and started a YouTube channel about it; and with the support of High Fives Foundation and Project Uprising he became the first bilateral amputee to fly a wingsuit. If you ask Ty, he’ll tell you that he spends a lot of time on the couch in pain and that he isn’t trying to inspire anyone. He’s just doing what he’s always done: trying to enjoy life, pushing boundaries, and seeing what’s possible. What unites skiers and snowboarders, including guys like Ty, is a spirit of perseverance and adaptability. These sports are a constant practice of balancing risk and joy within shifting conditions, and ultimately picking the best route. Some days we ride huge lines of deep powder, other times the mountains tell us to stay home and to wait for a better day. All the while the goal is never adjusted: feel alive and have fun with the people you love! We are stoked to support Ty's journey.

Building beautiful boats is second nature to Spirit yachts, but applying their skills to a dedicated racer takes them into very different territory

Face to huge lipped face with a giant. Peeking under and within wrecks always brings the best surprises and this guy made our day. At 6ft (1.83m) long and roughly 400lb (181kg) this Goliath Grouper was large but not the largest of his pals. Growing on up to 1,000lb (454kg) and 8ft (2.5m) long, these dudes could have up to 57 million siblings from one mama in a single spawning aggregation and can live up to 37 years. We met this dude on the deep wrecks of Butler Bay in beautiful St Croix. Encrusted in live coral, surrounded in fish and voted one of the Best Caribbean Dive Sites by USA Today, The Deep Wrecks feature two wrecks in one dive. The Rosa Maria, a 177′ steel freighter in 70-110′ and The Coakley Bay, an oil refinery tug boat in 55-70′

This was my 1st time using a pipe cutter tool! This Husky Pipe Cutter Tool made it a breeze. Cutting pipe for our solar arch for Gypsea Explorer, our Sceptre 41 Sailboat. We are a new sailing couple. If you dig the journey, as we purchase a boat, refit her and begin to sail; check out our blog at: https://gypseaexplorer.com/
