If you liked the photos of the Gold Coast yacht trying to cross the Southport bar last week, you are going to LOVE the photos this week of the Spanish sailor who mistimed his entry into Zumaia harbour.
We received so many letters about the Southport bar incident that I thought it worthwhile posting them with the story, 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 four young Keppel Bay sailors who rescued the baby dolphin and gave her back to mum, and the young quad sailor Hilary Lister, who is sailing solo round Great Britain with her mouth.
There are sobering events happening, like the skipper that ended up four months in a Mexican prison for having firearms aboard, and how Australia is going to help the war against Somali pirates.
There are also other stories - about the new cruising boat from Bavaria, the Bavaria 32, about Australian yacht Balvenie in Turkey, and of the Great Tropical Jazz Party for sailors at Magnetic Island week.
Finally, if you have a diving and marine biologist background then there's a great sailing experience waiting for you in Vanuatu, helping OceansWatch in their reef saving ambitions.
Read on, enjoy, and...
Smooth sailing.
