This Hanse 385 is a boat that I have crewed on as a 1st Mate, during her delivery from UK to Canaries few years ago. She is basically still a brand new boat and her owner takes care of her well with good attention to detail and safety.
The biggest flying fish I’ve ever seen, unfortunately found dead floating in the marina. These spectacular species can jump out of the water and glide in the air even for a couple hundred meters bouncing of the waves to extend their flight even more…
