It's Day 2. Lots of boat movement through the night with the front of the fleet rounding Olympia Shoal and a major leader board shake up with Team JED Racing and Team Narwhal appearing to drop the dinner hook atop Anderson Island. The middle of the fleet now nears Olympia while the back half starts their day after an evening on Blake Island. Thanks to Team TBD @everydayexpedition for the sunrise drone shots. #wa360 #northwestmaritime #sailing #rainier #mountains #sunrise #beautiful
Pedro Fernandes de Queirós, navegador português, em 1606 foi o inventor da palavra Austrália e o primeiro europeu a chegar a Vanuatu, no Pacífico Sul. Dois feitos que se cruzam por acaso. Vanuatu, país independente desde 1980, antes chamado Novas Hébridas, foi visitado primeiramente pelo navegador português Pedro Fernandes de Queiroz em 1606, que ao chegar à ilha de Espírito Santo acreditou estar na Austrália, assim inventando o nome do maior país da Oceânia. Foi também ele o primeiro europeu a contactar com as tribos melanésias locais de #Vanuatu. Ao chegar à ilha vindo de oeste e sendo já esperada uma grande terra no hemisfério austral, antes descoberta pelo lado este e norte por expedições portuguesas, ele nomeou a ilha como Austrialia do Espírito Santo. Na época a dinastia filipina em Portugal e Espanha era dos Habsburgo, da Áustria, assim também homenageando a coroa vigente. Hoje em dia existem duas estátuas dele em Sydney e Camberra, e a maior ilha de Vanuatu é chamada Espiritu Santo, em sua homenagem. Vem conhecer este herói da história marítima mundial, estudado nas escolas de Vanuatu, e homenageado nas ruas da Austrália, mas tão pouco conhecido em Portugal.
-- About BENETEAU -- The first BENETEAU boats sailed from the shipyards of Croix-de-Vie over 135 years ago. Since that time, the BENETEAU brand has been synonymous with quality and innovation to all those who have taken to the water – first by the fishermen who made their livelihood from the sea and then by the legions of recreational boaters around the globe. Over the years, our commitment to innovating and embracing ideas, no matter how unconventional, has been at the forefront of who we are in order to bring you the best boat possible. BENETEAU was one of the first boatbuilders many years ago to use computer-aided design (CAD) as well as lighter, stronger composite building materials. We’ve also been at the cutting edge of using greener materials and processes to do our part in protecting the incredible world which we explore. However, all this innovation doesn’t mean we’ve turned our back on tradition. One thing we’ve discovered in over a century of boatbuilding is that new-world innovations work best with old-school craftsmanship. This combination has resulted in some of the most iconic sailboats and powerboats in the world – supremely seaworthy yachts renowned for their sense of style, luxury, and comfort along with their creative use of space and new technologies. -- Philosophy -- We’re a lot like you. We love the water in all its forms – the ocean, bays, lakes, and rivers. And we love sharing the boating lifestyle with our family and friends. This love manifests itself in every BENETEAU built in any one of our many manufacturing facilities worldwide. Every BENETEAU sailboat and powerboat on the water reflects the best efforts of the finest architects, designers, and craftsmen along with the highest quality materials and the latest innovations. When you purchase a BENETEAU, you become a valued member of our BENETEAU family. For this reason, our after-sale service is second to none as evidenced by the multitude of National Marine Manufacturers CSI Awards for Excellence in Customer Service. At the core of this outstanding service is our exceptional dealer network. Every one of our authorized BENETEAU dealers will be there for you – from choosing the right yacht to the handover and beyond. Your dealer will be your able guide when it comes to maintaining your boat properly and will help you maximize the return on your investment when it comes time to step up to another BENETEAU – and it usually does! We wouldn’t have it any other way.
