The Catamaran is a tri-lingual portal publishing work by journalists from all over Sri Lanka. Stories in English, Sinhalese and Tamil provide background and add analysis to the most interesting stories in the country. Original reporting is available for free syndication to Sri Lankan and international media, the aim being to give novice reporters exposure and help experienced local journalists reach a wider audience. Bringing journalists from different Sri Lankan communities together strengthens vital ties and increases opportunities for collaboration, as well as contributing to capacity building in the Sri Lankan media sector. The online-magazine The Catamaran.org is editorially run by the Berlin-based organization, Media in Cooperation and Transition.

Took a short 360 video of one of the seca yard here in San Carlos Sonora Mexico. Many abandoned boats owing storage fees and lots for sale. Most are in need of major tlc or a refit and some are too far gone and only good for salvage. An abandoned vessel could have document issues. Visit: https://cortezyachtsales.com/ and you will find many vessels for sale with documentation that can be processed as well as boats that can be splashed very quickly to project vessels worth putting time and money in to. I have new listings for sloops and ketches under 30 ft and $20k. A great Cheoy Lee 36 that is beautiful and a bargain. Be cautious of private sales and gypsy brokers, as in Mexico bad documentations such as multiple Temporary Import Permits or that are expired, passed on with questionable Captain's letters etc. can get your vessel seized by the Mex Navy or worse.

We had a break in the weather, so we decided to head off to Long Island. Although we had originally planned to head to the Ragged Islands, it's perhaps too early in the winter season to do so. The periodicity of the weather events down here is every week or so and the wind coming next Monday would have been a challenge in the Ragged Islands. There's so few anchorages with protection from winds out of the West. Winds were light and variable. We were mostly on a broad reach or run all day. We used every sail. Once we made the turn to starboard back to the Bahamas Bank, we dropped the main, the gennaker and got out the Oxley Levante Parasail. Love that sail. It's so fun to fly. So, we'll stay here for a bit and head back to George Town, Bahamas and wait out the next blow. Hopefully we can make it over to Dean's Blue Hole, but we'll have to rent a car for the day.
