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.

The Fishermans Knot is a simple but effective way to join two lengths of rope together. The knot is more secure than a sheet bend under light load as you can tighten the overhand knots around the main lines which prevent the knot from coming undone before load is put on the lines. The Fishermans knot is preferred to tying a sheet bend when the rope diameters are the same. If you are going to have constant high levels of load on the joined lines the Fishermans Knot will become hard to untie, if you are join ropes which will stay under constant load are Sheet Bend will work better. Learning how to tie a fisherman knot is easy, most people already know how to tie a overhand knot, the Fishermans knot is tied by combining two overhand knots. Click the link below to learn how to tie a overhand knot. https://youtu.be/5z3BR2vCTcc Some sailing use cases for the Fishermans Knot include :- * Joining Jib sheets together to make them continuous * Joining Spinnaker sheets together to make them continuous. * Joining rope that have broken together in an emergency * Making a short rope longer Thanks for visiting the Bottom Up Boats channel, we hope you enjoyed this short video and you learnt a new skill that will help you with your cruising or racing.

Jornada incrível de navegação em alto mar, percorrendo uma distância de 1000 km em um veleiro, desde Salvador, Bahia, até Vitória, Espírito Santo. Durante essa travessia, tivemos a incrível oportunidade de avistar mais de 40 baleias, adicionando um elemento extraordinário à experiência. Navegar por longas distâncias em um veleiro exige habilidades marítimas e coragem, e essa viagem parece ter proporcionado não apenas uma conquista física, mas também momentos de beleza e conexão com a natureza ao avistar esses majestosos animais marinhos. Foi uma experiência marcante que estou levando muitos aprendizados.
