Great Sailing Video

This is one of the best sailing videos that I've ever run across. There's a lot going on including trimarans, catamarans, monohulls, sail boarders, and kite surfers all interweaving each other at high speeds.



So, are there any CF_Sailors out there?

The Kingdom of Tonga just got bigger!

I like to sail, and have considered taking a trip to sail around the chain of islands that make up the Kingdom of Tonga in the South Pacific near Fiji, so this particular story caught my eye.

Apparently, two boats left Figi and sailed through what looked like a sand dune of pumus rock. They then realized that a volcano was erupting not too far away from them. Rumor has it that they actually discovered a new island that was just forming.
