Snorkeling with the largest fish/shark in the ocean is a truly mind blowing experience. The giant polka-dotted sharks can measure up to eighteen meters and feed entirely on plankton. All over the world there are different spots where whale sharks congregate in large numbers to feed on the nutrient rich waters. Just off the coast of Cancun in Mexico is one of the largest whale shark congregations sites in the world—where you can literally see hundreds of these gentle giants slowing swimming about on the surface as they siphon up their meal. Since they are right on the surface the best way to approach the sharks is by snorkeling!
All of the 500m World Speed Sailing Records that have been set since 1988. Paul Larsen on Sail Rocket 2 still holds the record at an average of 65.45 kts over half a kilometre, but there are a couple of teams that are challenging for the honours. The current target? 80 knots. ▫️ Do you think they can do it? Which do you think was the most impressive record breaker? ▫️ Was it Paul Larsen smashing the previous record by almost 10 knots? Or maybe Alain Thébault, the first guy over 50 knots? All of these guys must have nerves of steel. Or they're crazy. ▫️ #world #speed #sailing #record #nerves
