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.

Usually when we prep a boat for listing, we ask the Sellers to take off their personal items. In this case, it was the exact opposite as "Sappho" is clearly a home on the water, displaying nothing but coziness and warmth! Built by Waterline Yachts in Sidney, these vessels are known for exceptional build quality as confirmed by the 2022 Survey. With an open-plan concept, Sappho is designed with pilothouse styled large windows for maximum natural light without taking up valuable interior space with a seldom used interior helm station. The galley and seating area are surrounded by amazing outside visibility and a step down takes you into the living space for privacy. Topside the decks are large and wide with tons of space for kayaks, paddleboards or bikes and the cockpit is protected from the elements with a custom hard dodger complete with 2 solar panels. Powered by a 55hp Yanmar diesel engine assisted with freshly serviced hydraulic steering, this boat is perfect for offshore sailing or comfortable PNW cruising and live-aboard. Available with a mooring buoy for sub-let in Maple Bay if needed, Sappho is available to view by appointment at our Sidney location. Please contact our Vancouver Island Sales Office at 250-656-5832 to schedule a showing.
