This is what sailing in the Whitsundays is like. The Sacca family sent us this video, with Anthony Sacca filming.

Owing to their bright and colorful and beautiful body, plumage, and feathers in the wings they are extremely fancied by humans. Their colorful body as a result has been a curse for them as they are constantly sought by bird catchers and hunters. (Photos by George Baccaloni)

¿Cómo abrir un gennaker de calcetin? El gennaker es una vela intermedia entre la génova y el spinnaker, suele ser bastante más económica que un spinnaker y en muchas embarcaciones de vela es la única vela para vientos portantes. La versión con calcetín (una funda para la vela) facilita el despliegue y la recogida de la vela, haciendo mucho más sencillo su uso. Ofrecemos cursos de Gennaker en nuestra Escuela Náutica: 👉https://www.neptuno.es/salidas-y-practicas-del-club-de-navegacion/curso-gennaker/ En nuestro blog te explicamos qué es un gennaker 👉https://www.neptuno.es/que-es-un-gennaker/

Grocery shopping when you live on a boat can be a bit of a mission, so one of the most useful things we have aboard is our Tipke folding cart (link below). It's fantastic for grocery shopping and getting fuel when there's no fuel dock around. We've had ours since Gibraltar in March 2022 and haven't regretted it for a second - it makes provisioning at anchor or even a marina so much easier! See the Tipke Folding Cart here: https://amzn.to/3XirYe1 Now that we're in St Martin in the tropical Caribbean islands, we've been using it to visit the local SuperU and pick up provisions as well as a few French treats!

Smart vagga som jag fick med båten. Delad, så att en person ensam kan hantera delarna. Den går att transportera på takräcket på bilen. De två hälfterna (grindarna) hålls ihop med snedstag till kölstockarna och med plankor med klossar på. Spikar fast snedstagen med 100 mm spikar, som jag slår in en bit och sedan kröker så de är lätta att dra ut på våren. Två hål för spikar i varje stag. Plankorna under har bara klossar i ytteränden, de hindrar grindarna från att rotera runt snedstagen. Ena hållet håller klossen emot och andra hållet själva plankan genom grindens lutning. Enda kända bristen är att det inte finns någon snabbjustering av tryckplattorna. Vore smidigare att snabbt kunna grovjustera och sedan finjustera med den gängade delen.
