If you liked the photos of the Australian yacht trying to cross the Southport bar last week, you are going to LOVE the photos of the Spanish sailor who mistimed his entry into Zumaia harbour in this week's issue.
We received so many letters about the Southport bar incident that I thought it worthwhile posting them with the letter, but then so many more arrived I gave up – sorry to those who missed out....
From all over the world we again bring you tales of cruising yachties doing their thing, events happening to celebrate sailing, adventurers young and old setting off across oceans - and some of them getting into all sorts of trouble.
This week there are inspiring events happening, like the young quad sailor Hilary Lister, who is sailing solo round Great Britain with her mouth. There are warning events happening, like the skipper that ended up four months in a Mexican prison for having firearms aboard, and there are structured events featured - like the Blessing of the Fleet happening tomorrow in New York, and the Summer Sailstice, celebrated in 20 cruising nations of the world these days. So are YOU celebrating it?
Finally, if you have a diving and marine biologist background then there's a great sailing experience waiting for you in the South Pacific – in Vanuatu, helping OceansWatch in their reef saving ambitions.
Read on, enjoy, and...
Smooth sailing.
