🥶 Nope… Not Sailing in 45°! 🎙️ Clips & Full Episodes here: https://saltypodcastplaylist.saltyabandon.com Good morning from Cape Haze, Florida 🌴 It was windy earlier this week, but now it’s calm — just cold. About 45°, and that’s not my kind of sailing weather. Some sailors love the Southern Ocean and cold-weather runs, but I’m a *warm-weather sailor* through and through. Waiting it out until things heat up again ☀️ Would you sail in 45-degree weather?

We anchored in the bay of Laganas and while we were anchoring, we suddenly heard a puff coming from the water. It turned out to be a sea turtle that swam at the back of the ship and came up for a moment. We were surprised, because we knew that this bay was famous for sea turtles, but we did not expect to see one right away. And it was impressive, because the sea turtle was at least 1 meter long and weighed 80kg, which means that she is certainly more than 50 years old. The sea turtles have become the symbol of Zakynthos, they are called Caretta caretta and can grow up to 1.20 meters and weigh 100 kg. They mainly eat jellyfish, shellfish and seaweed. The breeding season runs from May to August. Females come ashore at night to lay their eggs in holes, after which they cover them with sand. A nest can contain up to 100 eggs. After about 60 days the young turtles hatch. They navigate to the sea by following the moonlight. The caretta caretta is very threatened by pollution, fishing and tourism. We spent 3 days in the bay, saw a sea turtle behind our boat a few times every day, but often 8 tourist boats immediately came to see the turtle very close as it tried to swim to the beach.
