? Sunday Boat Tip [2/52] ? I think you would be surprised by the number of boats we see with flapping sails as they try to motor against the wind ? I'm saying you should stop this now! Not only will you save the sails to last longer, you will also ? Increase your boat speed ? Decrease your fuel consumption ? Make the boat go smoother in the waves ? Less noise Motor sailing can have its benefits, and even though we prefer sailing it would be lying to say we never give a little support with the diesel engine, especially sailing behind islands where the wind is usually all over the place. By giving a little extra push with the engine we can go higher up towards the wind or sail over choppy waves in conditions that would normally be to light. If you still want to go dead straight into the wind? DROP YOUR SAILS!! They are not doing ANYTHING good by just flopping like that! Share this to someone who you think should be a little kinder to their sails ?

The best thing about diving into a deep shipwreck is you never know what amazing marine animals you might encounter. Suddenly you turn a corner of the shipwreck and you are face to face with a giant sea turtle. As a diver, a proper (friendly) stare down with our friend the giant Green Turtle is an amazing experience every time. I met this giant turtle on the Vandenberg shipwreck just outside of Key West, Florida. You too can experience diving with sea turtles in many places throughout the world, but numbers are decreasing. In fact 6 of the 7 sea turtle species are classified as threatened or endangered. There are many easy things you can do to help our sea turtle friends in surviving such as not using reusable plastics and not supporting the production/use of balloons which our friend mistakes for food when they end up in the oceans. If you'd like to meet a sea turtle and learn more about how you can help, join us for a dive. ?? Visit CruiseNautic.com to learn more about our dive experiences.
