The catamaran Cahaya Baru links West Island to Home Island several times a day. On Thursdays and Saturdays there's also service to/from Direction Island.
I'm sure we've all seen many stunts in action movies, but apparently this guy has performed this for free. I first thought he was trying to impress the ladies on the beach but kept observing him sailing on "two wheels" for over a minute. I've briefly scanned the beach for any movie crew presence. One never knows whether the new James Bond movie could possibly have a scene filmed in Cuba, right? ;-))) but since I haven't noticed any movie cameras nor helicopters flying above, I've decided to reach for my camera to immortalize the action. I've zoomed in all the way trying to figure out if he was having a blast out there or whether he was calling his mom for help ;-). The matter of fact is... he managed to land the catamaran safely and then walked away. I felt disappointed he wasn't in fact Daniel Craig nor Tom Cruise but hey... I must admit that he did a fantastic job controlling this contraption before hitting the neighboring rock formation (sharp as a swiss knife).
A Patrol-Torpedo variant of the Amphibious Attack Boat. This variant of the AAB is powered by a pair of gasoline engines, more reliable on the high seas than their more futuristic counterparts. The engines drive a pair of screws at the rear of the boat, allowing it to reach a maximum speed of 41 knots. The boat is armed with a pair of 533mm torpedos, as well as a pair of limited traverse machine guns. The boat is also equipped with a single deployable Gunship-Class Light Amphibious Frame. This variant of the Gunship is equipped with composite armor, enhanced propulsion and maneuvering systems, and a quad large bore heavy machine gun mount setup. Boats like these are often used to patrol coasts and claimed waters while based on an Amphibious Transport Dock. The boats can also be converted to hover propulsion to allow for amphibious operations and can be equipped with missiles, on both naval and amphibious variants.

Operating on behalf of Caledonian Macbrayne on a nine month charter from Pentland Ferries, May 2023.
On charter to Caledonian Macbrayne (Calmac) for nine months. This was the second day in service on the Ardrossan to Brodick (Isle of Arran) service.
An attempt at making watercraft for Mobile Frame Zero: Rapid Attack terrain. I actually had it built for quite a while before taking pictures, I'm not sure why it took me this long. It is 20' long, 20' wide, and 26' tall in 6P scale. This will take 3 Hits before no longer being Cover and a total of 5 before being destroyed.
After folding the box, I had to fold the tessellation and here it is.

Taken from a similar vessel amongst the islands on the approach to Bergen. A special day in my European travels. After an overnight journey to Myrdal, we connected with the train to Flåmsbana, a spectacular journey on a railway that was completed by the occupying Germans in WW2 for military purposes. From Flåmsbana, we boarded the standard ferry to Gudvangen but transferred to the catamaran literally, midfjord! We thought that 'midfjord' was a place until the catamaran came alongside and we hurriedly got our act together! In 1986 wandering around Europe, the £17 quid (each) that this journey cost represented a serious dent in the two week finances! A great experience, despite being dog tired from the overnights and snoozing several of the six hours on the catamaran! Our catamaran was called 'Førdefjord'.
The geotag is going to be a pretty rough estimate!
Tarifa. Municipio español de la provincia de Cádiz, Andalucía y perteneciente a La Comarca Del Campo de Gibraltar.
Divide las aguas del Mar Mediterráneo y del Océano Atlántico, que se cruzan justo enfrente de la propia ciudad, que por lo tanto está situada en la parte más angosta del canal o Estrecho de Gibraltar, a una distancia mínima de 14 kilómetros de las costas marroquíes, lo que la convierte en la ciudad europea más cercana al continente africano.
