The skipper on GTR is a little too casual going into a gybe resulting in a massive wipe out that nearly took his head off. While the wind is light, just below 10 knots, the boom on this Mumm 36 racing yacht still gets up too a fast speed with plenty of power as the boom moves from one side of the boat to the the other. The mistake made by the skipper was not getting setup correctly for the gybe. The running back stay was not correctly setup outside the boom prior to the Gybe. The skipper was too worried about fixing this, failed to do so, which result in in both the back stay and the main sheet getting wrapped around his neck which in turn picked him up and deposited him down to leeward after the gybe was completed. The skipper was OK after the wipe out, he regained his breath, the bruised ribs healed in time as did his pride.

This is the Italian pool area area of the South Coast resort in Jamaica. This is a quiet area and you can see the views of the beach from here - gorgeous! Here you can relax with a libation and a good book, take a dip in the pool to cool off, or enjoy the beach just steps away. At Sandals South Coast every room faces the ocean for great views.

After renting out their house in New Zealand, Renee and Lynette pushed off aboard their steel sailboat Tekaihau to sail around the world. They have sailed over 30,000 nautical miles and visited 16 countries so far. Just another 8000 miles to go... We interviewed Renee and Lynette aboard their 1968 Moody Halberdier sailboat on the hard in Bobby's boat yard in Sint Maarten in February 2012...

An amazing sighting from the Freebird One, a humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae), which was beating its fins against the water, probably as a way of communicating with other whales. The humpback whales measure 16m and weigh 36 Tons. Impresionante avistamiento desde el Freebird One, una ballena jorobada, también conocida como ballena yubarta (Megaptera novaeangliae), que estaba golpeando sus aletas contra el agua, probablemente como una forma de comunicación con otras ballenas. Las ballenas jorobadas llegan a medir 16m y pesar 36 Toneladas.
