The yellow stingray (Urobatis jamaicensis) is a species of stingray in the family Urotrygonidae, found in the tropical western Atlantic Ocean from North Carolina to Trinidad. This bottom-dwelling species inhabits sandy, muddy, or seagrass bottoms in shallow inshore waters, commonly near coral reefs. Reaching no more than 36 cm (14 in) across, the yellow stingray has a round pectoral fin disc and a short tail with a well-developed caudal fin. It has a highly variable but distinctive dorsal color pattern consisting of either light-on-dark or dark-on-light reticulations forming spots and blotches, and can rapidly change the tonality of this coloration to improve its camouflage. Relatively sedentary during the day, the yellow stingray feeds on small invertebrates and bony fishes. When hunting it may undulate its disc to uncover buried prey, or lift the front of its disc to form a "cave" attractive to shelter-seeking organisms. This species is aplacental viviparous, meaning that the developing embryos are sustained initially by yolk and later by histotroph ("uterine milk"). Females bear two litters of up to seven young per year in seagrass, following a gestation period of 5–6 months. Though innocuous towards humans, the yellow stingray can inflict a painful injury with its venomous tail spine. This species is taken as bycatch by commercial fisheries and collected for the aquarium trade; it may also be negatively affected by habitat degradation. Nevertheless, it remains common and widespread, which has led the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to list it under Least Concern.

In this final episode of our incredible motorcycle journey through Northern Norway and Sweden, we begin in Bodø and head south, closing the loop on an unforgettable adventure. We visit the, Saltstraumen, the world’s strongest tidal current and send the drone up for some great aerial views of this natural phenomenon. From a distance, we spot the Svartisen glacier (which is actually two glaciers) before crossing the Arctic Circle one last time — this time by ferry. As we return to Sweden we wild camp near a Sámi seasonal settlement, visit the beautiful Trappstegsforsen and send up the drone again, and continue along the unforgettable Vildmarksvägen/The Wilderness Road, stop at historic Fatmomakke and get an areal shot with the drone, and continue to the windswept Stekenjokk Plateau which is partly closed in the winter due to lots, lots of snow. After this we take some days in the cabin for Jeanette to get better from her stomach bug and then finally we head home and make a summary of all the kilometers and days spend on the road! #MotorcycleAdventure #BMWGSA1250 #ArcticRide

► X5 PLUS - Ready to take you... wherever you want to go ► Derived directly from the X5, the Plus retains an unconventional silhouette that may dissuade some from going beyond appearances... but that would be a shame: those frightened off would be missing out on a beautiful cruising machine with intelligent specifications. This new model benefits from the experience gained during 6 years of the X5: the bows have been modified, the displacement is lighter by two tons, the sail plan has increased in area and the equipment is even more complete. The X5 Plus is perfectly suited to the cruising families that have chosen it. Rigorous design by a team of experienced sailors (the seas off South Africa are an excellent learning environment), meticulous construction, exemplary deck plan, abundant and perfectly functional equipment, remarkable overall quality of execution, tempered glass skylights: these are the strong points of this catamaran that deserves to be recognized. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Xquisite Yachts Naval architect: Rudolf Jonker Length: 50’8” (15.44 m) Beam: 26’3” (8 m) Draft: 4’5” (1.35 m) Displacement: 36,375 lbs (16.5 t) Mainsail: 1,130 sq ft (105 m²) Jib: 420 sq ft (39 m²) Genoa: 700 sq ft (65 m²) Gennaker: 1,400 sq ft (130 m²) Engines: 2 x 80 HP ► 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!
