Australian beaches play in a different league. Cannot put my finger on it, but it is a different vibe #Queensland #beach

I found my place for this winter. A bit earlier than planned, but that’s life, hey. Scoglitti, a small town on the south side of Sicily. Very cute and most important safe for our Cooee. The owners of the marina are very supportive and always have an eye out for their stuff and the boats. #sailing

quite a fascinating creature, but not funny to touch.
🚨 Swimming ban in Guardamar del Segura (Costa Blanca, Spain) after poisonous Blue Dragon (Glaucus Atlanticus) molluscs spotted. Red flags raised along 11 km of beaches until further notice. Authorities warn: do NOT touch them. 🌊🐉

To protect the ocean, we need one thing above all: data. But collecting this data, especially in remote ocean regions, is anything but easy. Many areas are still a blank spot on the scientific map. So the aim is to enable non-scientists to make ocean observations. #TheOceanRaceEurope

Almost 600 nm, what an experience and learning curve. I feel I added some barnacles to my back 😆.

Finally we arrived in Malta. What an inspiring spot. Cannot wait to dive deeper into people and culture.

A downwind passage to Malta. I mean honestly can it get sweeter?

This one really surprises me. A modern pirate village 😆🤣. Only accessible by boat. #Girolata #Corsica. Despite loads of boats a gem.

Some gorgeous anchorages around Cannes. I am very delighted by French anchoring and boating. The most respectful I have seen in the Med.
