We anchored in the bay of Laganas and while we were anchoring, we suddenly heard a puff coming from the water. It turned out to be a sea turtle that swam at the back of the ship and came up for a moment. We were surprised, because we knew that this bay was famous for sea turtles, but we did not expect to see one right away. And it was impressive, because the sea turtle was at least 1 meter long and weighed 80kg, which means that she is certainly more than 50 years old. The sea turtles have become the symbol of Zakynthos, they are called Caretta caretta and can grow up to 1.20 meters and weigh 100 kg. They mainly eat jellyfish, shellfish and seaweed. The breeding season runs from May to August. Females come ashore at night to lay their eggs in holes, after which they cover them with sand. A nest can contain up to 100 eggs. After about 60 days the young turtles hatch. They navigate to the sea by following the moonlight. The caretta caretta is very threatened by pollution, fishing and tourism. We spent 3 days in the bay, saw a sea turtle behind our boat a few times every day, but often 8 tourist boats immediately came to see the turtle very close as it tried to swim to the beach.
Week 3 of the season ending Frosties Regatta at Strangford Lough Yacht Club was very different to the first 2 weeks. The crews were greated with with 8 to 12 knots of breeze from the West which would eventually fade before doing a 180 degree flip as it died out to 4 to 5 knots from the East. The J109 Going To Red and the A35 Le Bascular continued there matching racing series to see who would take the title of Frosties Champion 2023. The team on J109 GTR broke to the right of the course at the start which turned out to be the wrong decision as the Island end of the line was favoured. The A35 was leading at the first mark after a couple of close crosses but the J109 got a better set while to leeward which allowed them to push the A35 up to windward which caused them to momentarily round up letting the J109 jump out in front and gybe on the inside. The A35 came back in the second half of the run to lead at the bottom mark before stretching out their lead on the last beat. The team at Bottom Up Boats hope you liked this video and it encourages you to want watch more.
