Infinity Expedition is now in Mexico, our second stop of the current EarthFlag journey from Panama to Brazil. Once in Brazil, we will sail into the heart of the Amazon rainforest and back from there directly to the UN Climate Change Conferences COP30 in Belem. To increase impact, we launched Sail4Earth and a whole Flotilla4Change of sailing ships are joining us at COP30 to help protect nature with uon.Earth, promote the EarthFlag, and raise awareness for the importance of including Indigenous people and their knowledge of the world's largest rainforest when making decisions about Earth's climate and the environment. Our old sails, which remember Antarctica well, are worn out beyond repair and we need new sails to keep the EarthFlag sailing; North (Northwest Passage 2018), South (Antarctica 2022), West (Amazonas 2025), East (Oceania 2026). Sailmaker Doyle generously offered to produce sails for Infinity at only 55% of the usual cost, but we still can’t fund new sails alone. We need your support to raise US$ 30 000 for a new mainsail, mizzensail, and headsail. Every penny, share, comment & like means the world to us, literally! More about Infinity Expedition: Infinity Expedition has a rich 20-year history of wild expeditions around the world. Since 2018, we carry the EarthFlag to the farthest reaches of our planet on a mission to raise awareness for its beauty and need for protection. We established uon.Earth, enabling everyone on the planet with a smartphone to protect m² of nature with ease. We explore some of the wildest and most remote places on Earth showcasing the fascination and fragility of their various incredible ecosystems. Over the years we have produced several TV shows & films, co-created projects like EarthFlag, EarthToday, Uon.Earth, Sail4Earth, and we have joined forces with many more to amplify our message. Amazonas Expedition After raising the EarthFlag North (2018) and South (2022), we are now sailing towards Brazil. There, we will venture deep into the mighty rivers of the largest rainforests left on Earth, the Amazon. We will meet with Indigeneous people from there, listen to their stories and wisdom about this over 55 million-year-old rainforest and bring their voices to the COP30 Climate Change Conference. Sailing to the Global Climate Change Conference with Flotilla4Change Flotilla4Change, an initiative supported by their global ambassador Greta Thunberg, organizes a flotilla of boats sailing to COP30. Infinity is the flagship of this flotilla, symbolizing the mission with the EarthFlag. Sails4Infinity Our sails are worn out beyond repair and we were offered generous support for a new mainsail, mizzensail, and headsail for Infinity. Doyle Sails, known for durable & technologically advanced sails, supports Infinity Expedition by generously offering a 45% discount for a new mainsail, mizzensail, and headsail. After discount, the sails still cost US$ 34 680. Luckily, our amazing community already raised US$ 4 744 through our own support page. We need your help to fund the remaining US$ 29 936 due by June 1st so that Doyle can start producing the sails in time for us to pick them up on our way to Brazil before hurricane season begins in June. Be part of the mission Every penny, share, comment & like count towards success! Our sails could be funded tomorrow if everyone following our journey would contribute $ 6, the same amount that it costs to protect 5 m² of nature together on our app uon.Earth. Please share this fundraiser with your friends, family and through social media. The more interaction and engagement our posts receive in form of likes, shares or comments, the more the algorithms will start showing our fundraiser to a bigger audience. Join us for Mission Earth. We are all in this together - when we belong, we protect what we love.

Cyclist doored on Market near Montgomery BART this morning just after 8:00 am, when a rear passenger suddenly got out at a red light. Unfortunately, my RideEye doesn't capture details at distance--or any time I hit a bump--so you can't really see it happen. Rider said she's ok.

As always the Cork 1720's were out in force for Volvo Cork Week 2024 this orange kite followed Going to Red the majority of the way down the run after rounding the top mark With over 100 boats on the start line everyone was fighting for air shortly after the start, with the tide coming in all day it paid to get right early to find both clear air and some relief from the stronger tide out in the main channel. On the way back in the trick was to find the deepest part of the channel to ensure you were in maximum tide to increase your speed over ground. The team at Bottom Up Boats hope you like this short clip from our week of racing at Volvo Cork Week 2024
