Despite its name, the #FlyingGurnard does not actually fly in the air like a bird or insect. Its specialised pectoral fins are actually enlarged and resemble wings. These "wings" are brightly coloured and have intricate patterns, making them visually striking. When threatened or startled, the Flying Gurnard spreads its pectoral fins wide open, creating the illusion of flight as it glides through the #water. This display serves as a defence mechanism to intimidate potential predators and deter them from attacking. While it may not truly fly, the Flying Gurnard's unique adaptation allows it to move gracefully and swiftly #underwater. Come find this weird #SeaCreature in #Komodo with us, reserve your spot from only $191. ✉️ info@LaGaligoLiveaboard.com 💬 +62 812 2000 2025 (WhatsApp) 🌐 www.LaGaligoLiveaboard.com 🌐 Trip.LaGaligoLiveaboard.com (Schedule & Rates) ~~~~ #scubadiving #scuba #diving #diver #liveaboard #divetrips

A staysail is a type of sail on a sailboat that is set on a stay, or a support wire or rod that helps support the mast. A staysail can be found on the forward section of the boat, between the mast and the bow of the boat. Staysails are smaller than the main sail and can be triangular or jib-shaped. Depending on the design, the staysail can be attached to the stay with hanks or a furling system, which allows for easy deployment and stowing. A staysail can be used in various wind conditions and can be adjusted to provide more or less power depending on the wind speed and direction. Often, the staysail is used in combination with the main sail to optimize sail trim and help the boat sail more efficiently. Sailboats with staysails typically have a rigging plan that includes multiple stays or shrouds that provide support to the mast. This rigging is more complex than the simple fore-and-aft rigging found on smaller sailboats, but it allows for greater sail area and better performance in a wider range of wind conditions. #sailingexperience #sailinglife #sailingadventure

Leg 4 to Auckland. Day 12. Doldrums’ light airs are usually a burden, but Dongfeng Race Team made the most of it, using this downtime to work on their mast track issue. Check out this amazing drone footage from the middle of the Pacific Ocean!

A beach that requires you go down two Ladders, through a narrow opening and pull yourself up with a rope, this is Tsigrado Beach. The beach itself is small but beautiful with a stunning outlook, one of a kind. It's the most remote beach on Milos and worth the adventure finding it! @SailingKawai #shorts #subscribe #shortvideo #sailing #greece #greekislands #sail #summer #europe #milos #bestgreekisland #fun #isolatedbeach #tsigrado #tsigradobeach #sailingkawai #sail #sailgreece Music 1.
