It's getting warmer and greener and nature seems at peace with all flowers blossoming and birds flying and singing all day long.. At night there's an orchestra from the frogs 🐸 and crickets 🦗, sometimes I think they compete for the loudest singer trophy 🏆 😂😂 This place is so reach in biodiversity that it's painful to believe that it's surrounded by marinas from which a lot of pollution, toxicity is generated. But that wouldn't be enough, so there are fish farms at every corner of each bay along the channel and next to villages and towns (please give thoughts on swimming in this area or any swimming area that's packed with fish farms...even hotels put on signs that you are swimming at your own responsibility...and they don't mean "bodyguardless" beaches) . We humans are really something. Getting back to happy thoughts now... Some flamingos 🦩🦩 were also paying some occasional visits behind the marina when we were at the yard (they are like me, when the temperatures drop they fly back to the south..only I don't have wings to follow..if I had 😂😂) and some cows 🐄 too would take their turn to model by Oshun's spot and grace us with their presence... The land turtles no longer felt intimidated by our presence and stay still expecting to become invisible 😅 now they even walk towards me, if the fence wasn't there they would walk to my lap I guess 😁🥰 Now in the water, we see dolphins 🐬 too messing with the work of the fishermen around the bay (these two will be enemies for infinity and beyond I guess 🤷🏿‍♀️). Sweet life, it's all around us, let's take care of it. #shorts

► Las Palmas, almost an unavoidable stopover on the Atlantic route from Europe, welcomed thousands of sailors during the month of November, when the north-easterly trade winds begin to set in. These crews included a total of 1,300 sailors flying the ARC colors (ARC and ARC +) aboard 253 sailboats. During our visits to the pontoons, we got a measure of the Starlink revolution: only one entrant was equipped last year, compared with 80% of the fleet today... The quality of the connections offered by this satellite operator makes it possible to efficiently follow weather developments, keep in touch those ashore and even work as if at the office! For the first time since we’ve been following ocean-going crews, Vincent, aboard Outremer 51 Piment Rouge, will be sharing his transatlantic passage with us via his videos, which we’ll be relaying. Another special feature of this 2023 edition will be the large number of diesel cans strapped to the guardwires: in a context of very light winds, unusual for the season, the engines (authorized with a penalty for the Multihull category) are likely to be much in demand aboard many of the multihulls. After two weeks of seminars, meetings and safety inspections, the atmosphere on the docks was becoming truly electric during the last three days running up to the start. Studying the weather, stocking up on fresh supplies, washing fruit and vegetables - everyone realized that there was an ocean to cross... Some crew members are more Zen than others: the oldest sailor in the ARC, Joff Hutchinson, 89, declared: “I’ve been sailing for 82 years and I’ve always wanted to cross the Atlantic. Now that my sons have retired, there’s no better time”. The start was relaxed, with the fleet setting off in a light southerly breeze and glorious sunshine, guaranteeing a smooth start for everyone to get their sea legs. ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!
