Held in Tanum, Sweden from March 23-28, Finnmaster showcased its fleet of 19 boats across its range- Grandezza, Finnmaster and Husky. From the annual dealer meeting, press day and exciting sea trials to new boat model launching, it was a celebration of "Made in Finland" craftsmanship at its finest.
We sailed to Lady Musgrave Island - one of our favourite coral cays at the southern tip of the Great Barrier Reef. 🏝️ Before we could explore, we had to navigate a narrow channel, dodge swirling eddies, and avoid a few coral bombies. Once inside the lagoon, we dropped anchor and jumped straight into our big blue backyard - swimming with sharks and whales, snorkeling the reef, and soaking up the off-grid sailing life aboard Mon Ami. 🌊🐋🦈
Finalmente abbiamo comprato la barca... di nuovo! Trovare qualcosa di giusto per noi, allineato al nostro budget con i prezzi delle barche usate alle stelle non è stata un'operazione facile... ma come sempre ci piace fare tutto quello che in generale le persone "sane di mente" considerano impossibile! Così eccoci qui! Qualcuno come noi si è scontrato con il rincaro dei prezzi dell'usato? Ehi e quasi dimenticavo! Abbiamo deciso di ricominciare a raccontarvi le nostre peripezie sul canale YouTube Valeila Sail. Scrivici la tua nei commenti! Ahoi marinai! #vivereinbarca #valeilasail #famigliainbarca
*READ CAPTION* We were travelling through country SA when we drove past a dead kangaroo (not unusual for this part of the world), it looked like it had been hit fairly recently, given the bright red blood on the road, so we turned around and checked the pouch. To our surprise, there was a (what seemed to be) uninjured, but likely in shock, baby Joey in the pouch. This is the first Joey we’ve come across so we weren’t entirely sure what to do, we thought it was best to wrap him in a towel (to act like a warm pouch) and find someone to help care for him. Unfortunately, we didn’t have any phone reception to contact anyone, so we drove 45 minutes to a visitor centre in the nearest town. Thankfully the lovely ladies knew exactly who to call and within 30 minutes we had taken the baby Joey to his new home. The wildlife carer who took in this new orphan had 4 other babies that she was caring for, each one needing fed 4 times per day with special marsupial milk and each having their own home made pouch. Joeys can be the size of a mandarin or a small puppy so make sure to have a good look within the pouch. If the Joey is attached to the tit don’t pull it off as it can damage it’s jaw, instead remove the tit. Moral of the story is, if you see a dead kangaroo on the road please please (safely) stop and check the pouch as you might find a tiny orphan looking for its new home.
