Citizen science forms a key part of our voyages, with guests contributing to global citizen science initiatives while travelling through remote and biodiverse regions. Each expedition features activities from our Science & Education programme, encouraging a deeper understanding of the places we explore. One of the projects highlighted is the Phytoplankton Monitoring Network, a NOAA-led initiative in North America that relies on volunteers to monitor phytoplankton communities and support the early detection of harmful algal blooms (HABs). In 2024, a sample collected aboard an HX vessel revealed elevated levels of a phytoplankton species of concern, later confirmed by NOAA and communicated to coastal communities. Citizen science continues to play an important role in expanding knowledge of marine ecosystems and supporting long‑term environmental research. Since 1896, HX has led mindful expeditions to some of the world’s most extraordinary places. 130 years on, we continue that legacy, taking curious adventurers to iconic destinations such as Greenland, Antarctica, and the Galápagos Islands aboard our modern expedition ships. Join us and change the way you see the world. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HXExpeditions Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hxexpeditions/ Website: https://www.travelhx.com/en/

Peter Harburg’s RP 100 Black Jack continues to show good form in her preparations for the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, winning the SOLAS Big Boat Challenge on Sydney Harbour last week. In September this year the Bow Caddy Media was given the opportunity to join some of the luminaries of Australian sailing aboard Black Jack (including Tom Slingsby, Chris Nicholson and Tom Addis) for their early work-up campaign in the Whitsundays under skipper Mark Bradford. So, as a taster in the lead-up to the Boxing Day start of the great race south, here’s an on-board view of how the action unfolds on Black Jack when the breeze is up.

This winter is a La Niña season, which translates to a "secret summer" for locals: the winds are calm, the skies are clear, and the light is cinematic. It is the antithesis of the blustery, foggy summer. Come boating this winter - it's inviting, mild, and calm.
