I can not believe this is the final step on replacing the rotten deck! I've made it! I am so excited, I waited for this day for such a long time. All the hard work, and finally the deck will get finished :) I know I know it's only a small part of the whole boat progress and there is still so much more work that needs to be done, the list is long: new bulwarks, sanding-welding-painting the rail, fiberglass repairs on the main cabin, fixing leaking hatches, installing one new hatch, repainting the whole boat, underwater repairs on the prop shaft once the boat gets lifted again, changing the switchboard for the electronics and so much more. But this huge job, the deck, is finally coming to an END! IG:yvonnemarianna.travels Patreon: SailingStromy

I couldn't believe how well it sailed. You could have some serious fun with this, especially in big breeze." -------------------------- ** The Tiwal story ** * The Birth of Tiwal * As a girl, the first time our founder Marion Excoffon was told, “No!” by her father when she asked to use the family boat, her life as an inventor began. It was then she started dreaming of building her own craft, an ambitious feat that would come true years later. On the road to creating an innovative high-speed vessel for everyone from kids and first timers to expert sailors who want to test limits, there were a number of prototypes, failures, challenges and headaches. But, if there’s one thing Marion’s known for, it’s her sailor’s grit! * Combining Fun & Technology * The award winning Tiwal concept is easy assembly and storage - maximum fun and performance for watersports and activities. A Tiwal isn’t your average dinghy! Our design is the result of tons of coordination, talent, and technological savvy. * A Growing Global Community * For our community of Tiwal skippers (more than 2,500 worldwide!) all this innovative design means their focus is fixed on the pleasures of watersports and having tons of fun on a responsive sailing craft. With excellent upwind and downwind abilities combined with high-speeds, Tiwals are a part of both fun and professional performance. The Tiwal 3 received the Boat of the Year (Best innovation) Award 2014 from Sailing World in the USA and the Red Dot Award, with recognitions, accolades, and smiling faces continuing to join together on the waves worldwide.

Eunice dharastii - A Bobbitt Worm named after a Marnie Conservation Pioneer Hidden beneath the sand lies one of the oceans most astonishing ambush predators. This is *Eunice dharastii* — a species of Bobbit worm named in honour of marine conservation pioneer Dr Dave Harasti. Though rarely seen in full, the creatures presence is unmistakable: iridescent plates, feathered antennae sensing the current, and a lightning-fast strike that has earned these worms a legendary reputation among divers and scientists. In this short film, youll glimpse the world of a hunter that relies on patience, precision and the cover of darkness. It waits in silence, anchored beneath the seabed, rising only when the moment is right. The contrast between its delicate colours and formidable behaviour makes this worm one of the oceans most fascinating contradictions. Slow your pace, watch closely and discover the secretive life of a creature whose story now carries the name of someone who has devoted his own to understanding and protecting the sea. www: https://solitude.world/issue-2-explorer-ocean-escapes/
