Drone footage approaching Glenarm village from the water – past the harbor, over the church and straight to the castle walls. This little village on the Antrim coast is one of those places you only find when you're traveling by sea. No roads lead you here quite like this angle does. #Shorts, #sailing, #Ireland, #droneshots, #sailinglife, #travelbyboat, #anchorage, #coastallife, #sailboat, #adventure

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.

Many people worry about how they can turn their catamaran hull over without damaging it. Furthermore, people tend to over estimate the loads and the number of people and equipment needed. But as this video shows, it is very easy and with some strategically placed car tyres can be done without damage It also shows the advantage of building one hull at a time! This Tamar 31 is being built by Seascape in Thailand. You can see more on the boat yard here www.seascape-asia.com And more on the Tamar 31 here http://sailingcatamarans.com/index.php/designs-2/5-catamarans-over-40ft/480-tamar-31
