A sailboat made of water.
Located along the seafront in Valencia, Spain, the Water Boat Fountain uses carefully directed jets of water to create the illusion of a sailing boat.
Built in 1999 as a tribute to the city's maritime heritage, its metal framework forms the outline while flowing water creates the sail and hull.
At night, the illuminated water transforms the entire fountain into a glowing sculpture.

Starlink can download the weather. The harder question is whether your routing still works the night the dish goes dark offshore, and why I'd set up PredictWind Professional before buying the boat.

The first boat and crew safely across the finish line.
You have to be careful how you cross it.
There is a large boulder underwater that you have to avoid.
Also because the boats are handicapped, you still may not win the race.
Some boats are naturally faster than others so there has to be handicaps to reward good sailing.
It is quite a demanding sport. You would know this if you are at up on deck changing the foresail when the wind is bouncing the boat up and down on the wave.
Starlink's Global Roam is gone, and Roam Unlimited now caps you at 30 days abroad at a time. For a boat that isn't flying home every month, that's not a pricing tweak, it's a plan rewrite. Here's how the circumnavigation math changes:

🪸 In Egypt's northern Red Sea, dolphins line up at certain corals to rub their skin against them. This one at Tobia Kebir takes a piece along, and rises with it from the sand into a ceiling of light. #dolphin #TobiaKebir #Safaga #RedSea #bluewater

November 1, 1520 -- The Strait of Magellan, the passage immediately south of mainland South America connecting the Pacific and the Atlantic Oceans, is first discovered and navigated by European explorer Ferdinand Magellan during the first recorded circumnavigation voyage.
Galápagos to Nuku Hiva is close to 3,000 miles of open Pacific, and I keep rehearsing it from a desk with weather files. They keep handing back the same short answer.

The 115 sailors competing in the Route du Rhum set sail on Sunday off the coast of Saint-Malo, France in mild weather, aiming to conquer the Atlantic on a solo crossing that the fastest could complete in record time.

Kait takes the sloop out at dawn, sailing into the mystic with the foghorn calling and the sails catching the first light.
This is my first attempt at doing a music video style animation. It turned out pretty good, I think. All generated locally with 🖼️ Kreamania v6 and 🎥 MiniMax H3.

The legendary Route du Rhum is officially underway!
Over 110 solo skippers crossed the starting line off Saint-Malo today, November 1. Ahead lies the grueling 3,542 nm transatlantic course to Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe.

A used Catana 47 with a big list of recent upgrades and no new sails. What a refit receipt like that actually covers, what it quietly leaves out, and the number worth writing on an offer. bluewaternavigator.com/the-5…
