 Damn, cool to see you also sail. How’s that thing handle down there? I’m a New England/ North Atlantic experienced sailor, racing dinghies up to about 50’ Beneteaus offshore. Miss it, gotta stay away from sailing on the Black Sea… we’ve had a few sea mines that were cut loose from the Russia/ Ukraine thing wander into Romania’s waters, kind of a hazard 😂 I didn’t even think of a sailing community on here, so thanks for the enlightenment! 
 Yeah wow that’s a shame about the Black Sea! She’s a great little boat, really strong and solid, comfortable for two. The sailing motion can get a bit rough once a sea starts running, she can roll around quite a bit but I’ve sailed her 1200nm from NZ to Aus, and from Melbourne - Hobart - Sydney ⛵️ 
 Damn, that’s pretty awesome. Hell of a journey. Getting over the horizon from land is pretty insane the first few times. We have an 1850s historic shipyard near where I grew up (mystic seaport CT), couldn’t imagine doing it with a sextant like back in those days. 
 Yeah I’ve been searching the hashtags trying to discover some surf/sailing/photography communities 🤙🏽 
 That’s great, hopefully these communities keep filling out a bit
