Today is Fish Amnesty Day. On this special day, we come together to learn about taking care of our #underwater pals. This day strives to raise awareness of marine life, particularly #fish. Fish are creatures that require our attention and care just like any other. The declining fish population is a result of overfishing, oil spills, climate change, and numerous other factors. Whether in lakes, rivers or #oceans, fish make up a sizable portion of #marinelife. They maintain the food chain and keep the biosphere in balance. We are reminded of the significance of fish in nature on #FishAmnestyDay. Let’s pause for a moment to enjoy the beautiful underwater world that we all need to protect such as this #marinebiodiversity hotspot in #RajaAmpat. As you may be aware, Raja Ampat is a prime location for marine biodiversity within the larger #CoralTriangle. Its waters are highly diverse, with more than 1,500 different fish species, 700 different mollusk species, and an astounding 600 different hard coral species. Every dive into the ocean in locations like Raja Ampat, reveals amazing #coralreef life that is home to unique marine animals. This amazing picture serves as a reminder of the incredible richness and beauty that reside beneath the seas. And also a reminder that this is worth protecting so that we can always witness the beauty of the underwater world. Tempted to go into this #underwater haven? With our experienced crew and knowledgeable dive guides, you’ll have the chance to witness the unparalleled richness of this #marinelife treasure. Secure your spots now on our #liveaboarddivingtrip and dive into these unexplored regions with payment deposits beginning at a mere of $337 for our Raja Ampat North expedition this year. 🔗Click the link below! https://linktr.ee/lagaligo_liveaboard ✉️ info@LaGaligoLiveaboard.com 💬 +62 812 2000 2025 (WhatsApp) 🌐 https://www.lagaligoliveaboard.com/ 🌐 https://www.lagaligoliveaboard.com/trips/ (Schedule & Rates) ~~~~ #scubadiving #scuba #diving #diver #liveaboard #divetrips #marinebiodiversity

The start of any sailing race is critically important to you over success in any race. With the pin end favoured and some smaller boats crossing the fleet on port to try and own the ping end of the line there was a lot on during the start of this race in the annual frosties regatta at Strangford Lough Yacht Club. The team on GTR got a leeward hook on What's the Rush II and forced to her to windward, as the two boats round up they nearly caught out an SB20 which was cross the two boats on port to try and line up at the pin end of the line. After a close cross with and SB20 who was caught out by the sudden round up the team on GTR pushed What's the Rush head to wind while closing the gauge to setup for a nice leebow position as the make their run for the line. The skipper on What's the Rush continue to turn up to try and get some gauge to windward to prevent the leebow. At one point What's the Rush went past head to wind, while this did give them some gauge to windward it slowed their boat speed significantly as the jib trimmer failed to release the sheet which resulted in the jib back winding which slowed them down and reduced the benefit of getting the additional gauge to windward. The Mumm 36 GTR maintain more speed, hitting the line as the gun went, this allowed them to pinch a little closer to What's the Rush while they bore off the accelerate. This put the Mumm 36 GTR in the controlling position and allowed them to setup for a leebow which enable them to control the first beat. If you would like to learn more about the leebow, check out one of our earlier videos which take you through the sailing science of won of the best attacking up wind manoeuvres. Master the Leebow https://youtu.be/LlOgtLfPjkw The team at bottom up boats hope you enjoyed this video where we show you how we owned the start but attacking from a leeward position while hitting the line with speed.

This is how we set and recovered our beautiful orange asymmetrical spinnaker built for us by Dolye Sails of Melbourne. We love using this sail downwind.
