*Wait For It*
Sailors aboard Southern Cross were treated to a whale of a tale yesterday. Pun intended. Location: About a mile off the coast, more or less in line with the last of the Gordon's Bay residences up on Mountainside. WOW!
Two whales were spotted today very close to the shore, off Bikini Beach close to the look out side. Anybody parked at Whales Way or pedestrians walking over the bridge would have seen them, unfortunately time unknown.
Footage courtesty Pieter Louw.
The spray of water coming from their blow holes is actually just them breathing out. They aren't actually "spraying water". Because their breath is so powerful, it creates the water around the hole to create a cloud of mist. The blow hole is essentially an internal nostril, connected to the mammals lungs and allows them to take in the air quickly when they come to the surface for breath. Wow. Nature is great!

A man in Southern China, was on a boat trip with this friend, when the saw a Bryde Whale with its huge open jaws "catching a meal". By treading water, and keeping the corners of the mouth below the surface, a flow is created pulling the fish in to the whale's mouth. Nature is amazing!

Despite winter setting upon us in vengeance this last week with a CRAZY storm, torrential down pours and a dip in temperature, we had 4 eager and committed sailors braving the elements, as they completed their level 3 SA sailing, level of competency which included reefing, man over board and sailing on all points of sail.
One of the sailors got their level 4. Well done Matt! Fairwinds as you continue your journey 👏.
Neil and I are so grateful (and happy) to see students every week going through their levels. SO proud of all of you!

A guy and his girl, were kayaking somewhere off the coast of Argentinia, when suddenly 3 whales made their presence known by swimming very close to their boat.
How would you have felt? "Poep in your pants", stare in amazement, or "Smile and Wave" 😮😄😜

While we have no idea what these Sperm Whales are saying, we know they are having quite an in depth conversation. These Sperm Whales were resting below the surface of the water, and as they ascended for a breath of air, their chatter became more audible, and they became very social and physical with each other. Whales are mammals like us, and very protective of their off spring. Maybe it was a family having a "family meeting"? Either way the more I discover about whales and dolphins, the more I realise they are extremely SPECIAL sentient beings! Highly intelligent too.

The Sailing Community were absolutely delighted when our very own Kirsten Neuschafer was awarded the Sportswoman of the year award, at the SA Sports Awards on Sunday night.
She has already won other prestigious awards, among them the first woman to win the Golden Globe Award round the world last year in April 2023. It's been in inception since 1968 and no modern on board nautical equipment are utilised, making sailing even more challenging.
She was also named 2023 Rolex World Sailor Of The Year by World Sailing. A most remarkable achievement!
Her favourite award however is her most recent from her very own home country, South African. Thank you Kirsten you have made us so proud too!!

On the 6th of February in 2024, a guy went walking on the beach in Galicia, Spain when he saw a Swan surfing the waves. Yes I kid you not. A SURFING SWAN! Luckily he had his camera on him and managed to get some footage. Footage courtesy: World of windsurf on FaceBook.
So incredible! Ocean life is amazing and so are the animals. Never a dull moment! 😄😄😄

**Turn up the volume**
The sound of the ocean below and around you, as the waves splash around the bow and keel of the boat. The wind flapping through the sails, and an exquisite sunset on the horizon. It doesn't get much better than this.🌅

Dolphins are intelligent animals, who appear to be friendly and curious. We LOVED the way they swam alongside our boat. Such a special experience.
