Imagine coming face to face with the biggest fish in the sea – the whale shark. That’s just what happened to a group of lucky passengers with Great Adventures in a very rare encounter while they were seated in the semi-submarine at Moore Reef. This vision was captured by one of the lucky passengers. The whale shark, estimated to be 4 - 5 metres in length swam up close and alongside the semi-sub window as excited passengers looked on in awe. Quicksilver Group Environment and Compliance Manager Doug Baird said. “For what is the world’s largest fish, we really do know very little about them and their behaviour here on the east coast of Australia.” More often associated with the northern waters of Western Australia, whale shark encounters on the Great Barrier Reef are quite sporadic. This sighting is of great interest to researchers who have been working to identify a potential whale shark aggregation site in the far north regions of the Reef. As the largest fish in the sea reaching lengths of over 12 metres, whale sharks are docile fish feeding mostly on plankton, crab larvae and jellyfish, which they scoop up with their colossal gaping mouths while swimming close to the water’s surface. They are listed as a vulnerable species and prior to the mid 1980s there were less than 350 confirmed reports of whale sharks world-wide. Researchers are able to identify individuals from photographs by analysing the patterns of markings on their bodies - a bit like fingerprints.

Ce lo chiede praticamente chiunque incroci i nostri video, sempre con gradita gentilezza. Noi rispondiamo ogni volta con piacere perché siamo felici di questo interesse. Un lavoro in 100% remote working non solo è possibile nel 2024 ma è anche consigliabile a chi sta un po’ stretto l’ufficio. Abbiamo lavorato da casa per tre anni, in una piccola stanza che usavamo da studio nella nostra piccola e bella casetta a Torino. Come diceva Andre ieri, la vicinanza a noi non pesa, anzi è parte della quotidianità ed è una gradevole compagna, salvo davvero qualche episodio che possiamo contare sulla punta delle dita. Fortunatamente i nostri lavori sono compatibili (nessuno dei due suona e deve esercitarsi 7 ore al giorno) quindi l’unico scoglio che abbiamo dovuto oltrepassare è stato organizzare le call e i momenti “rumorosi”. Insomma niente che un paio di cuffie (e qualche rumore bianco) non possano risolvere. Quest’anno tutto è cambiato. La nostre routine, le nostre abitudini, ogni cosa ha iniziato a orbitare intorno alla barca. Un’esperienza incredibile e si, anche faticosa, perché il video è molto bello ma noi non vogliamo alimentare la FOMO di una vita perfetta perciò ecco una frase poco acchiappalike ma molto autentica: la vita in barca è stancante. La vita con un lavoro è stancante. La vita in barca mantenendo un lavoro è stremante. Non oso immaginare chi a questa equazione aggiunge dei figli. Quindi testa sulle spalle, perché tutto è fattibile con la giusta consapevolezza. Naturalmente la fatica viene addolcita da tutto ciò che viviamo qui. Con questo video vogliamo mostrare tutto il bello che portiamo nel cuore e nei ricordi, che speriamo rimanga indelebile allo scorrere degli anni. Servono anche a questo dopotutto i video del giorno. Ci aiuteranno, quando saremo davanti a un caminetto a scaldarci i piedi, mentre la neve cadrà sui prati, a ricordare l’avventura straordinaria che stiamo vivendo quaggiù, nell’angolo del mondo che l’inverno non raggiunge. Ci leggiamo domani 🙋‍♀️ Camilla

► In Cape Town, where the largest production center of sailmaker Ullman Sails is now located, we discovered not just one sail-loft floor, but five or six! However, the story didn't begin in South Africa: it was in Newport Beach, California, that David Ullman, at the time aged just 21, built his first sail loft. The year was 1967. 12 years later, a second site was opened in Dallas, and growth continued throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Today, Ullman Sails is represented in 25 countries and has 75 sites. The largest of these is in Cape Town, South Africa, and this is the one we got to visit. There is a staff of 120, and sails of all materials are made here. There's one workshop dedicated to the manufacture of FiberParth membranes. It's also on these floors that the sails for the Leopard range - and many other catamarans built in South Africa - are made. Over the past 30 years, more than 100,000 sails have been produced here! The sailmaker is also diversifying its activities with a clothing range, Six Seven by Ullman. ► 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!
