The new J/7 daysailer testing new A2 spinnaker sailing on Lake Wallersee, Austria. It was blowing 20+ knots and boatspeed was 10-11 knots planing across the lake quite easily!

Tough Tuesday having sundowners on dinghies, behind my yacht. Prickly Bay yachties know how to chill.

Citizen science forms a key part of our voyages, with guests contributing to global citizen science initiatives while travelling through remote and biodiverse regions. Each expedition features activities from our Science & Education programme, encouraging a deeper understanding of the places we explore. One of the projects highlighted is the Phytoplankton Monitoring Network, a NOAA-led initiative in North America that relies on volunteers to monitor phytoplankton communities and support the early detection of harmful algal blooms (HABs). In 2024, a sample collected aboard an HX vessel revealed elevated levels of a phytoplankton species of concern, later confirmed by NOAA and communicated to coastal communities. Citizen science continues to play an important role in expanding knowledge of marine ecosystems and supporting long‑term environmental research. Since 1896, HX has led mindful expeditions to some of the world’s most extraordinary places. 130 years on, we continue that legacy, taking curious adventurers to iconic destinations such as Greenland, Antarctica, and the Galápagos Islands aboard our modern expedition ships. Join us and change the way you see the world. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HXExpeditions Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hxexpeditions/ Website: https://www.travelhx.com/en/
