Doing a rig check before offshore sailing? Here’s how we inspect our rigging before every passage. From the top of the mast, we check for cracked fittings, loose pins, corrosion, and halyard chafe — the small things that can turn into big problems at sea. We use a climbing harness (or a bosun’s chair works too), a figure 8 knot for extra security, and always a backup halyard. Clear communication and double-checking gear are key when one of you is literally hoisting the other up the mast. This is part of our pre-passage checklist — and it’s one of the most important safety steps we take before any long sail. ⛵ Want more sailing tips, rigging know-how, and liveaboard life?

Look at this #remorafish cleaning the tank of our #divebuddy, such generous fish! Glad he doesn't have to clean the tank by himself since he has his own private #underwater cleaning assistance! The remora fish, also known as #suckerfish are a group of fish species belonging to the family #Echeneidae. These unique and interesting fish are known for their specialized adaptations that allow them to hitch rides to larger marine animals such as sharks, #whales, #seaturtles, and even #Mantarays. The modified dorsal fin possessed by these fish acts like a suction pad and is so unique, it is called a “sucker disc.” With this sucker disc, they attach themselves to their host’s body and eat parasites and dead skin, providing a cleaning service that benefits the host. Interesting! Wanna see them attached to #manta rays or #sharks for yourself? Join us on an extraordinary diving trip in #Komodo or #RajaAmpat this year.

#CatamaranSunreef60 - Edited and produced by #Way2Sea, cinematography by Mario Jelavic. MORE INFO & LINKS : WEB http://www.mariojelavic.com/ FACEBOOK https://m.facebook.com/way2sea/ INSTAGRAM https://instagram.com/mariojelavic?igshid=gf9kjk1irthl As never before, this time is ideal for sailing in Croatia. No crowds. Empty bays. Restaurants are more than happy to host you. Usually the Croatian coast and islands are pre-booked at this time. This is no accident because the Croatian side of the Adriatic is one of the most beautiful in the world. Now you can be among the few who enjoy this beauty if you are able to come to Croatia. Sometimes the downsides have their advantages. This video is a small overview of what can be experienced at Sunreff 60.
