The Agincourt ribbon Reefs had a second coral spawning and it was magical. At the Quicksilver platform at Agincourt 3, our Marine Biologist, Russell Hore predicted the December coral spawn would be more spectacular, as the waters had been cooler in the lead up to the November spawn. Russell Hore, Quicksilver Reef Biosearch Manager said “While the Agincourt Reefs experienced a coral spawning in November, we always believed that the main coral spawn would happen after the full moon in December.“ Two of Quicksilver Reef Biosearch marine biologists, Dr Glen Burns and Graham Carroll, spent the night on Agincourt 3 last night (16 Dec), hopeful that the corals would spawn. “The current water temperature on the edge of the outer reefs was perfect for coral spawning, so we were pretty confident.” And better they were, with one of the better coral spawning events witnessed in the last decade. “We witnessed the branching staghorn coral, shrubby corals and a magnificent plate coral spawning. We were privileged to record this once yearly event at Agincourt Reef.” said Dr Burns The spawning is likely to continue for the next two nights.

REVERSING INTO A BERTH: Singlehanded Docking Stern To with Lazy Lines Watch as Nick, step by step reverses into a berth. This is video 7 in Nicks step by step singlehanded Docking To/With Lazy Lines =========================== Watch the full training video here - https://youtu.be/-OPs960oR88 =========================== Transcript Going to put myself in a position here that I like to be in when I'm reversing into a berth. In this position here I can set myself up for my berth. I can see where I'm going here and at the bow because you use the bow and the movement on the bow to understand which way you're turning. And I can reach my gear lever. One thing I'm going to do before this berth, especially on a windy day is check to see if I've actually got the guy on the dock ready to take my lines. And I don't. But it looks like he's on his way. So I'm going to start this turn around now. Here's our man! Now ideally I do this without the bow thrusters or the stern thrusters just so that I know I've got control of that. I left this turn a little bit late because I was faffing around with the Drone and talking and things like that. =========================== Filmed and Edited by Mahina Hathaway and Nick Hathaway, 45 Degrees Sailing Looking to sail in Croatia?
