Some positive news & beautiful photography of horseshoe crabs thriving in the Pangatalan Island Marine Protected Areas in the #Philippines. Did you know that these ancient invertebrates been around for over 450 million years? #Nature #30x30 #Protection https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/dazzling-photos-show-horseshoe-crabs-thriving-in-protected-area
A boat producing hydrogen out at sea using just the power of the wind? It's a first! This catamaran spins a propeller beneath the waves, which in turn drives a turbine & produces electricity to split water into hydrogen & oxygen. Incredible!#Sports #Nature https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/cc725dbe-fee4-11ec-b9c1-d737fca5ec6a?shareToken=86093d9e4376e033f42866876c9c83c5
Last weekend, the @BoldOrMirabaud reunited #sports & #nature lovers in the absolutely stunning location that is Lake Leman, Switzerland. Tag @sailsofchange if you saw the TF35 on the water! #30x30
Although we had to stop our race prematurely, we'll keep in memory the pleasure of having participated in this 83rd #BOM22 & the excitement of having been at the forefront during the 1st part of the race. Congratulations to the organization to all the participants & to the winner
Yesterday, the Bol d'Or Mirabaud took place: the 4th leg of our #TF35 circuit. Our crew was among the first 4 in the general ranking & the 1st of the TF35 fleet. Unfortunately, the team had to abandon the race due to a technical failure.
Relive the race, as if you were there.
Tomorrow, over 500 boats will be sailing on Europe's largest lake, #LakeLeman in Switzerland, for the Bol d'Or Mirabaud. Our flying #TF35 catamaran will be carrying the #30x30 message of highly or fully protecting at least 30% of our ocean and land by 2030. #Sports #Nature
The 83th edition of the Bol d'Or Mirabaud starts tomorrow! I've participated to it 12 consecutive times, winning in 2010 & 2014 on board my D35 catamaran Ladycat– moments I will never forget! Let's hope tomorrow will also call for unforgettable moments for those involved! #BOM22
