The Lassithi Plateau at the island of Crete is a wide, fertile plain over 800 meters above sea level, surrounded by peaks, dotted with villages and fields as far as the eye could see. One of the first things we noticed was a row of stone windmills. There were about 20 in view, but once, there were over 10,000 of them! These windmills used to pump water from the ground for irrigation – a lifeline for agriculture here. The Lassithi Plateau has long been the agricultural heart of eastern Crete, with a unique microclimate and plenty of groundwater. Even today, the 18 villages around the plateau live primarily from farming. We flew our drone to capture this sweeping valley from above – the perfect blend of natural beauty and human ingenuity.

The bowmen and woman are a made of tuff stuff. Life at the pointy end of any yacht is never dull, from call the distance to the start to setting up for sail changes they are always on the go. Light, fast on there feet and always their to figure any issue that you get into make the bow man or woman one of if not the most valuable members of any yacht racing crew. When you get a hold of a good bowman be sure to feed them just enough beer after each race to keep the sharp for the next days racing and keen enough to come back for more. This was a bottom up boats Mumm 36 memory for the the annual frosties series on Strangford lough.
