Whale season in the Tropical North is in full swing with daily humpback sightings. This mother and calf put on a show for passengers and crew aboard dive and snorkel vessel Silverswift as they playfully breached repeatedly out of the water. Watch to see mamma show how it's done! The encounter occurred near Green Island as the vessel was returning from a day at the Outer Reefs. Quicksilver Group Environment and Compliance Manager, and cetacean expert, Phil Coulthard said “Whale season is in full swing and it’s always very exciting to see the humpbacks in our tropical waters. This mother and calf duo have been seen around the same location for several days. We’re seeing the humpbacks almost daily at this time of year. It’s part of their winter migration to our region from the southern oceans of Australia to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.” The sightings are recorded for the GBRMPA’s Eye on the Reef monitoring program. Humpbacks are generally seen at the Great Barrier Reef between the months of June to September with regular sightings near Green Island and at the Outer Reefs, bringing an added bonus for passengers at this time. Thanks to Silverswift marine biologist Teresa Souyet for the great footage.

ARROW was among the first of the West Solents to be built at Lymington in 1924, and the last of a lucky group of these ultra elegant and fast 1920s sports boats to be restored by Peter Brookes at Maldon through the 1990s. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/782/ARROW She has subsequently become arguably the best known of them, campaigned very successfully in two ownerships over 25 years in both Mediterranean and south and southeast of England classic regattas. ARROW is also unarguably the best equipped classic regatta package, optimised to compete under both CIM and IRC rules, and transported (and ‘dry sailed’ indoors) aboard her very own UK and EU-legal 19-tonne truck that is included in the sale. What is there not to like?!

Even with the very best of planning you may be surprised by what you encounter when sailing across the vast ocean. Join us aboard our Lagoon 42 for our post hurricane season sail from Curaçao onward towards the U.S. Virgin Islands as we run into some nasty storms and unexpected surprises from US Border Patrol. Experience life on the wind, join us for a sail 👉🏽 https://cruisenautic.com Do you love travel, does your urge for adventure leave you longing to break free to live the boat life? In 2017 we decided we would do just that, so we sold everything we owned and started out for a new life at sea. We are two USCG 100 Ton Captains who sailed our Lagoon 42 Catamaran out of France and over the last 5+ years we have crossed the Atlantic and completed several circumnavigations of the Caribbean. Our winter base is the Virgin Islands where we offer a variety of sailing and dive experiences aboard CruiseNautic. Music: Diabuleria by KaleidoSea - Artlist Licensed
