We voeren in 38 uur van Griekenland naar Zuid-Italie, en met nog zo'n 3 uur te varen, hoorde ik opeens naast me, een blazend geluid en opspattend water. Wat was dat? We zagen het spuitgat van een walvis op zo’n 100 meter naast de boot! Gilles gooide meteen het roer om en voer langzaam naar de walvis toe. Het bleek een potvis, de stompe neus was duidelijk zichtbaar. Het dier bleef nog zo’n 3 minuten naast ons zwemmen, op zo’n 50 meter. Bijna geruisloos en dook toen onder met de prachtige kenmerkende staart die in het water gleed. Ik heb het kunnen filmen. Dit was onze eerste walvis spotting vanaf ons eigen schip. En zo dichtbij, geweldig om te zien! Een potvis kan 16 meter worden, 45.000 kg wegen en 60 jaar oud worden. Het is de grootste tandwalvis ter wereld. En waarom zwom deze walvis dan hier? Ik keek op onze waterkaart. Meer dan 2.000 meter diep! Zo zeg, dan snap ik het wel. Wat meer onderzoek toonde aan dat de Ionische zee een belangrijk leefgebied voor walvissen is, omdat het water diep is langs de continentale hellingen, onder andere voor de westkust van Griekenland bij de Hellenic Trench en in het noordelijke deel van de Ionische Zee. De vermoeidheid van inmiddels meer dan 30 uur varen inclusief een nacht was op slag was. We waren helemaal enthousiast!

A quick tour of the laundry room on deck 2 of the Disney Wonder. There is also a laundry room on deck six as well. It is a cashless system so you will use your shipboard card to purchase the laundry detergent and softener. TIP: Bring the sheet laundry detergent, such as the Seventh Generation Laundry Detergent Sheets 32ct linked below. I bring a few of these in a Ziplock bag or keep them in the box for sharing.

What a remarkable christening for our Oceanis 37.1! We celebrated in style with champagne, violin melodies, and the company of our fellow enthusiasts. Don't miss the excitement— join us at the Annapolis Boat Show for a first look at our latest model. -- About BENETEAU -- The first BENETEAU boats sailed from the shipyards of Croix-de-Vie over 140 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.
