================================ “Out of nowhere, we hear rumours from our skipper that a secret pop-up set with Marco and Wehbba was starting on one of the yachts with decks and sick speakers, so obviously we had to jump in the dinghy and get over there! It was just pure bliss! Intimate and so much energy from both the crowd and the DJs.” https://www.theyachtweek.com/ https://www.facebook.com/theyachtweek/ https://www.instagram.com/theyachtweek/ https://twitter.com/theyachtweek/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/day8/ https://www.tiktok.com/@theyachtweek/

A rogue wave from a different direction to the general wave train hits my boat while hove to (not sailing) in a storm, 100 miles off the Australian coast on passage from New Caledonia to Brisbane in November 2017. This was during my single-handed sailing circumnavigation in Fathom, my Vancouver 28. The tiller is not lashed completely to leeward as I was experimenting in keeping some way on. Conditions improved enough after 3 days that I was able to start sailing again and safely make landfall. If I had tried to close on the coast in these conditions it could have been a disaster in the shallow water and even bigger breaking waves found in the South Australian Current (another solo sailor was rescued at the time).
