The Agincourt ribbon Reefs had a second coral spawning and it was magical. At the Quicksilver platform at Agincourt 3, our Marine Biologist, Russell Hore predicted the December coral spawn would be more spectacular, as the waters had been cooler in the lead up to the November spawn. Russell Hore, Quicksilver Reef Biosearch Manager said “While the Agincourt Reefs experienced a coral spawning in November, we always believed that the main coral spawn would happen after the full moon in December.“ Two of Quicksilver Reef Biosearch marine biologists, Dr Glen Burns and Graham Carroll, spent the night on Agincourt 3 last night (16 Dec), hopeful that the corals would spawn. “The current water temperature on the edge of the outer reefs was perfect for coral spawning, so we were pretty confident.” And better they were, with one of the better coral spawning events witnessed in the last decade. “We witnessed the branching staghorn coral, shrubby corals and a magnificent plate coral spawning. We were privileged to record this once yearly event at Agincourt Reef.” said Dr Burns The spawning is likely to continue for the next two nights.

Una giornata di navigazione. Era parecchio che non coprivamo 84 miglia di fila in una giornata sola. Questa mattina ci siamo svegliati alle 3:40, abbiamo tirato su l’ancora e ci siamo messi in marcia. Ci aspettano parecchie miglia e pare pure senza vento. Ben presto scopriamo che non è solo un’impressione, ma è proprio una giornata di calma piatta. Non proviamo nemmeno ad aprire le vele perché sarebbero come panni stesi al sole in un giorno torrido d’estate: cadenti e fermi. La pesca ci regala ben 2 PESCIONI!! Peccato fossero due barracuda e come vi abbiamo spiegato, qui ai Caraibi non è così sicuro mangiarli vista la cigutera. Li ributtiamo entrambi in acqua e li guardiamo nuotare via vispi. Meno male, almeno non abbiamo mietuto vittime inutili. La pesca è un tema abbastanza delicato per noi. Sì se per mangiare, no se per giocare. Julia corre, i suoi pistoni tornano a salire e scendere veloci generando una velocità al suolo di 6,4 nodi. Navighiamo solitamente a 1500 giri per non affaticare il motore. Oggi, non è diverso :) 1500 giri, 6,4 nodi di avanzamento. Prua su Saint Martin, isola in cui, udite udite, ci aspettano Chris e Maria, i nostri amici canadesi! Il destino ha voluto che ci salutassimo ancora, un’ultima volta. Prepariamoci ai saluti, quelli veri 🥹 Comunque, tutto da programma. Avanti che mancano ancora un po’ di miglia. Ci leggiamo domani!

Lake Lipno in the Czech Republic provided an unforgettable week of Olympic sailing as the best young sailors from across Europe gathered to compete for medals at the Junior European Championships. A wide variety of wind conditions and sunny weather ensured exciting racing and great experiences on and off the water. The 2024 European Junior Championships in the 49er and 49erFX classes, together with the Eurocup event in the 29er class, brought an exciting 4 days of intense racing to the Lake Lipno for over 140 competitors from 18 nations. The event was held under the auspices of the President of the Czech Republic Mr. Petr Pavel. On Thursday, despite a favourable forecast, there was only one race in the 49er and 49erFX classes as a storm thwarted the plans of the race committee. However, the opening ceremony on the iconic Windy Point beach brought smiles to the faces of the competitors. https://49er.org/exciting-junior-european-championships-2024-in-olympic-49er-and-49erfx-classes/
