Step into the treacherous world of "The Lion of Crete," the enigmatic and ruthless pirate who ruled the Mediterranean in the 18th century. Discover the captivating stories of this mysterious figure, whose real name remains a mystery to this day. Commanding a fleet of pirate ships, he unleashed audacious attacks on unsuspecting merchant vessels, striking fear into the hearts of sailors across the region. Don't miss this thrilling glimpse into the audacity and ferocity of Cretan pirates that will leave you on the edge of your seat! Piracy in the Aegean Sea was a sophisticated operation that involved a network of pirates, merchants, and other collaborators. The pirates had bases on various islands and the mainland, from where they launched their attacks. They used fast and maneuverable ships, armed with cannons and other weapons, to overpower their targets. Once they captured a ship, they would loot its cargo, including money, precious metals, and slaves. They would then sell the loot to merchants and other traders, who were willing to buy them at a lower price. #shorts #pirates #piratesoftheaegean

J109 "Going to Red" beating to windward had a fine line to thread the gap between Jellybaby and another IRC Zero entry on day two of racing of Cork Week 2024. Race 6 ended up being the trickiest race of the day with the wind getting light and variable towards the top mark before a 30 degree shift on the last beat turned the race on it head. The race committee did a good job to finish the IRC 1 boats at the top mark to limit the damage from the variable winds. The team at Bottom Up Boats hope you like this short clip from our week of racing at Volvo Cork Week 2024
