A strong start today for the 49er teams at the Olympic qualifier in Lanzarote. Robert Dickson and Sean Waddilove Team Dickson Waddilove 49er Ireland topped the Day 1 leader-board with Ryan Seaton and Séafra Guilfoyle Out2Win Ryan & Séafra placing an 11-8-8 for the day. Conditions off Playa Blanca in the straits between Lanzarote and Fuerteventura were very unpredictable in the fresh trade-wind conditions with added ocean swell. “It was very tricky with the wind coming off the mountains so a ‘head out of the boat’ day but all-in-all, a great start to the regatta,” commented James O’Callaghan, Irish Sailing’s Performance Director. “There’s a long way to go in this regatta but we couldn’t have asked for a better start.” We'll be posting updates here daily. Go Ireland ! Filming by David Branigan | Photographer

LA NOTTE E L’OCEANO Julia plana sulle onde che nell’oscurità sembrano palazzi minacciosi. La notte è quel momento in cui il tempo si ferma e anche lo spazio lo fa. Procedi ma ti sembra di restare sempre fermo, perché intorno a te c’è solo oscurità e non hai punti di riferimento. I minuti diventano ore, le ore si fermano sospese nel tempo. Quanto tempo è passato? Da quanto tempo sto fissando l’acqua nera senza vederla? Nella notte il tempo diventa mio. Solo a me appartiene quell’eterno momento in cui il cielo e il mare s’incontrano in una danza senza fine. #ilmioatlantico

Mangroves exist all over the world, however, most of the time the mangroves occupy estuaries and murky bays. Raja Amapt is the exception, many of it's mangroves are in clear blue water and full of lovely coral and unique fish species. Since mangroves only grow in very shallow water, this makes them ideal for snorkeling. Mangroves are a highly unique area to explore as it's an entirely different ecosystem from your typical reefscape. The roots from the mangrove create serpentine structures where a myriad of juvenile fish seek refuge, including baby black tips. One fish you wont see on an ordinary reef is the archer fish. This unassuming little fish swims close to the surface looking for terestrial insects climbing on the roots above water. When it spots one, it takes aim and shoots a precise stream of water at the insect knocking it into the water where it can then devour it. Regardless of the interesting marine life who call the mangroves home, the overall scenery is enough to take your breath away, particualy at that special time of the day when the sun's light pierces the dense canopy above creating a totally surreal environment as you float along in the placid waters.
