Sailing through orca territory isn’t something we take lightly and while preparing this post for you guys, we heard another sailboat calling for help on the radio..How we stay informed and reduce the risk as much as possible: 📍We monitor:• GT Orcas App – To stay updated about interactions, sightings and risk mapping. • www.orcas.pt – MMSI verified fellow sailors for live-updates. • Telegram groups – Live updates from fellow sailors. • Orca Facebook groups - to stay updated. • We listen to channel 16 (as always) and when we here something related to a orca situation we start recording the conversation so we can go back and listen to it again ex. if we didn’t get the position, name of the vessel etc. ⚠️Our precautions:• We have chosen to only sail in daylight – Which sometimes means early mornings to do a long leg. If something were to happen, we rather want to handle it in full visibility than in the dark. • We have chosen to stay in shallow water - inside the 20m depth counter when possible, but still keeping a safe distance from breaking waves and shallow hazards. • We carry a duffel bag full of sand on deck– The most humane way to try and deter orcas, should they approach the rudder. • We maintain constant lookout – For tall dorsal fins, but also for coastal fishing gear when close to shore. • We talk through roles and action plans - so everyone onboard knows what to do in case of an emergency. 🚨Our procedure in case of an orca interaction: 1: Engine on, max speed, turn boat towards shallows and/or land. 2: One person in charge of throwing sand in the water to hopefully prevent the orcas from damaging the rudder. 3: One person in charge of flipping the swimmingladder down in the water and banging it with a hammer to make loud noises in the water to deter the orcas. 4: Other important things is to issue a Pan-Pan call on the vhf, continuous lookout and video documentation of the interaction. N.B that this is simply the way we’ve chosen to handle the situation, not a detailed A–Z guide on how you should proceed. Always make sure to research the specific area you’re sailing in. Stay safe. #orca #sailing #shortoftheday #circumnavigation

Schlemmen für den Klimaschutz: Was zu schön klingt um wahr zu sein, kann tatsächlich funktionieren. Schließlich entstehen in Deutschland fast genauso viele Emissionen durch die Nahrungsmittelindustrie wie durch Mobilität. Ebenso wichtig erscheint die Frage, ob „C02-armes“ Essen schmeckt. Wir haben drei mutige Kollegen mit Besteck und Hunger in unsere Experimentalküche geschickt, um sich nachhaltige Produkte – oder das Essen der Zukunft – auf der Zunge zergehen zu lassen. In den sechs Folgen der Videoserie „Klimafreundlich – aber lecker?!“ verraten uns die kulinarischen Versuchskaninchen per Daumen, was ihnen geschmeckt hat und was sie nachkochen würden.

Full video - We're motoring into West Lake Cove for an overnight stay on our 1983 Catalina 30 sailboat. The bilge will be flooded when we get there, but we'll have to fix it later because we're having a date night! Just the two of us! We're a sailing couple, on Lewisville Lake, Texas, and we do love to be anchored in the cove and cook on the grill. We determined what needed to be done with the water leak on the boat, and when we get back to the marina we head to West Marine for boat parts! @SailingIntoNirvana Website: http://sailingintonirvana.com Social: https://facebook.com/sailingintonirvana Patreon: http://patreon.com/sailingintonirvana Fire Dragon Spices: http://piraterodneys.com Please leave a comment or reach out to us if interested in supporting what we do!

Asked to comment on the assertion from Grant Dalton, CEO of Emirates Team New Zealand that he thought Luna Rossa were ahead of the other Challengers, Max responded: “I think it's hard to tell where you are compared to the other teams, I mean the fact you are not able to line up, yes sometime we are doing some crossing tacks but when we are doing that you're doing like a 10 mile beat so it's almost impossible to get any feedback in terms of performance. I think everyone is pushing really hard and I mean look Alinghi (Red Bull Racing) after the big day they had couple days ago they were back in the water so good for them, everyone is pushing really hard and I think you will know where you are the day you will be able to line-up against another team inside of the racecourse because there is a quite a big difference to race, the boundary and so on, to compare in open water.” #AC37Recon #shorts SUBSCRIBE to the official America's Cup channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/americascup Like America’s Cup On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/americascup Follow America’s Cup On Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/americascup Follow America’s Cup On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/americascup Stay up to date with the America’s Cup newsletter: https://www.americascup.com/en/newsletter The 37th America's Cup will be Defended in Barcelona by four-time America's Cup winner, the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron represented by their team, Emirates Team New Zealand. #AmericasCup #AC37 #Barcelona2024
