► Las Palmas, almost an unavoidable stopover on the Atlantic route from Europe, welcomed thousands of sailors during the month of November, when the north-easterly trade winds begin to set in. These crews included a total of 1,300 sailors flying the ARC colors (ARC and ARC +) aboard 253 sailboats. During our visits to the pontoons, we got a measure of the Starlink revolution: only one entrant was equipped last year, compared with 80% of the fleet today... The quality of the connections offered by this satellite operator makes it possible to efficiently follow weather developments, keep in touch those ashore and even work as if at the office! For the first time since we’ve been following ocean-going crews, Vincent, aboard Outremer 51 Piment Rouge, will be sharing his transatlantic passage with us via his videos, which we’ll be relaying. Another special feature of this 2023 edition will be the large number of diesel cans strapped to the guardwires: in a context of very light winds, unusual for the season, the engines (authorized with a penalty for the Multihull category) are likely to be much in demand aboard many of the multihulls. After two weeks of seminars, meetings and safety inspections, the atmosphere on the docks was becoming truly electric during the last three days running up to the start. Studying the weather, stocking up on fresh supplies, washing fruit and vegetables - everyone realized that there was an ocean to cross... Some crew members are more Zen than others: the oldest sailor in the ARC, Joff Hutchinson, 89, declared: “I’ve been sailing for 82 years and I’ve always wanted to cross the Atlantic. Now that my sons have retired, there’s no better time”. The start was relaxed, with the fleet setting off in a light southerly breeze and glorious sunshine, guaranteeing a smooth start for everyone to get their sea legs. ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!

Aliens do live among us! The #PeacockMantisShrimp, in spite of its name, belongs to a different class of organisms called #stomatopods and is neither a true mantis nor a #shrimp. They are common in Southeast Asia and Australia as well as the warm coastal waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The vibrant appearance of #MantisShrimps is what draws in prey, and they are well-recognized for their remarkable hunting skills. Their unique limbs are referred to as "raptorial claws" or "smashers." These claws have a tremendous amount of strength and can strike with remarkable force and speed. They are indeed thought to be among the fastest and most potent striking appendages in the animal kingdom. Come find this mesmerising #SeaCreature in #RajaAmpat with us.

Was it a mistake to leave behind our land life? We don’t think so! For the past 18 months, we've been living full-time on our 42-ft sailboat, embracing an off-grid, slow travel lifestyle. We've met hundreds of incredible people around the world who’ve chosen a similar alternate path—and we’re here to share what it's really like. Through The Reeva Project, we’re documenting our sailing journey as an Indian family at sea—hoping to inspire more Indians to consider life beyond the land. 🌊 Subscribe to follow our adventures: Indian family sailing , ocean living, and the ups and downs of this wild, beautiful lifestyle. #sailinglife #indianfamily #liveaboard #offgridliving #lifeatsea #slowtravel #sailingindia #thereevaproject #worldschooling #sailingadventures
