Contender_sailing_dinghyWhat to Look Out For on Your Sailing Adventure

While sailing with Fun Cat, depending on the time of year, you will have the opportunity to view several different types of sea life. Fun Cat has the expertise and equipment to ensure you can get right up close to all of the marine life along the way. Some of the exciting sea life you might see on your Fun Cat cruise are:

  • Dolphins- The most commonly sighted dolphins are the common dolphin, bottlenose dolphin and Risso’s dolphin.
  • Common Dolphin- There is two types of Common Dolphin, both of which are medium-sized with adult dolphins ranging between six point two and eight point two feet. They can weigh between 80–235 kg (176–518 lb), although the range between 80–150 kg (180–330 lb) is more common. The male dolphins of this species are generally longer and heavier. The color pattern on their body is unusual. The back is dark and the belly is white, while on each side is an hourglass pattern colored light grey, yellow, or gold in front and dirty grey in back. They have long, thin rostra with up to 50–60 small, sharp, interlocking teeth on each side of each jaw.
  • Bottlenose Dolphin- There is also two types of Bottle nosed dolphin; the common bottlenose dolphin and the Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin. They typically live in groups of ten to thirty members called pods. The common bottlenose dolphin is found in most tropical to temperate oceans, and it has a grey color, with the shade of grey varying among populations, but it can be bluish-grey, brownish-grey, or even nearly black, and is often darker on the back from the rostrum to behind the dorsal fin.
  • Risso’s Dolphin- Risso’s dolphin has a relatively large front body and dorsal fin, while the latter tapers to a relatively narrow tail. The bulbous head has a vertical crease in front. Their infants are dorsally grey to brown and ventrally cream-colored, with a white anchor-shaped area between the pectorals and around the mouth. In older calves, the nonwhite areas darken to nearly black, and then lighten (except for the always dark dorsal fin). Older individuals appear mostly white.
  • Whales- The most commonly sighted whales are Fin Whales, Humpback whales and Gray Whales.
  • Fin Whales- The fin whales also called finback whale or razor back is the second largest species of whale after the blue whale. The fin whale’s body is long and slender and is colored brownish-grey with a paler underside. The fin whale is a large baleen whale that belongs to the cetacean order, which is composed of all species of whale, dolphin and porpoise.
  • Humpback Whales- Humpbacks can be identified by their stocky body, obvious hump, black dorsal coloring and elongated pectoral fins. The head and lower jaw are covered with knobs called tubercles, which are hair follicles and are characteristic of the species. Their tails are fluked and typically rise above the surface when diving. It also has wavy trailing edges.
  • Gray Whales- The gray whale is also known as the grey whale, gray back whale, Pacific gray whale, or California gray whale. They grew up to forty nine feet in length. The gray whale has a dark slate-grey colour and is covered by characteristic gray-white patterns, scars left by parasites which drop off in its cold feeding grounds. Individual whales are typically identified using photographs of their dorsal surface and matching the scars and patches associated with parasites that have fallen off the whale or are still attached. They have two blowholes on top of their head, which can create a distinctive V-shaped blow at the surface in calm wind conditions.
  • Californian Sea Lion -The Californian Sea Lion is one out of five in the sea lion species. It is sexually dimorphic, with the males being larger than females, and having a thicker neck and protruding crest. Differ in size, shape, and coloration between the sexes. Males are typically around seven point nine feet (7.9) long and weigh up to seven hundred and seventy pounds, while females are typically around five point nine feet (5.9) and weigh up to two hundred and twenty pounds. Females and juveniles have a tawny brown coat, although they may be temporarily light gray or silver after moulting. The coat of adult males can be anywhere from light brown to black, but is typically dark brown. The face of adult males may also be light tan in some areas. Pups have a black or dark brown pelage at birth. Although the species has a slender build, adult males have robust necks, chests, and shoulders. Adult males also have a protruding crest which gives them a “high, domed forehead”;[t is tufted with white hairs. They also have manes, which are less developed than those of adult male South American and Steller sea lions .Both sexes have long, narrow muzzles.

Cheapest Airline Tickets – How to Find Best Travel Deals

Travel Stories, Travel Tips - Shelia - August 9, 2016

With the access to the online booking sites and ease of booking tickets, travelling to another place is not as difficult as it used to be. Yet, most of us end up spending more on travelling expenses than what we should spend. All thanks to the airline companies, as there is no upper limit to what they would charge for tickets. However, if you plan your travels and boom tickets smartly, you can save huge money that you would have spent otherwise on the airfares.

Here are some of the best money-saving tricks that you can leverage to find the best travel deals and book the cheapest flights.

Use the 24 Hour Rule

When you have booked your ticket, check whether the price of the airfare fell or not the next morning or within the 24 hours. Most of the times it happens and if it has happened, you can give a call to the airline office to cancel your already booked ticket and often you get the opportunity to rebook the ticket without requiring to pay any penalty.

Avoid Travelling on the Weekends

Most of the airlines experience optimum occupancy on the weekends and weekdays are often not highly loaded. So, if saving money on air tickets is your agenda, try booking a flight in the weekdays instead of busy weekends.

Travel In the Least Busy Hours

Often, early mornings and late night flights are the ones which get the least number of passengers while the ones during the peak hours of the day are mostly fully occupied. Owing to the higher demand for the peak hour’s tickets and very lesser demand for tickets in the early or late hours, the airlines charge low airfares to attract passengers for these flights. So, it is a great opportunity to save money on air tickets.

Choose BYO Food on Airline

These days most of the airlines offer passengers the option to buy their own food while on the flight and opt out of mandatory meal expenses. As a result, the tickets without the meal inclusions are much cheaper than the ones that include the meals. Thus, it is another great way to save money on air fares.

Try Booking Tickets for Wednesday

As per farecompare.com, Wednesdays are the cheapest days of the weeks in terms of air ticket prices. So, whenever possible, plan your travel in such a way that you travel on this day of the week.

Book Tickets on Tuesday, 3 PM EST

While many would not believe, but, it has been observed by a plethora of airline ticket booking websites worldwide and even has been verified by a study carried out by fareCompare.com that the ticket prices at this time are the lowest in the entire week, especially for domestic travel.

8 of the World’s Most Disappointing Tourist Attractions

Travel Destination, Travel Stories - Shelia - July 24, 2016

Not everywhere the guidebook suggests to go is a winner. Here are eight of the most disappointing tourist attractions out there.

1.Four Corners Monument – USA

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Borders are effectively just made-up lines someone drew on a map once upon a time, so a monument recognising the point where four states of the US (Arizona, Utah, New Mexico and Colorado) meet, really isn’t that enthralling.

It becomes all the more underwhelming when you actually get a glimpse of the spot. Quite frankly, there’s nothing there. One stone slab in the ground marks the point, with a carpark and a toilet the only other constructs visible. Thrilling.

2.Carnival – RioCarnival_in_Rio_de_Janeiro

The bright lights and buzzing atmosphere might seem like endless fun at first, but after four days of the same few songs blasting out across the city you feel more akin to a psyche ward patient than a party goer.

There’s only so much partying most people can do, so unless you have a bizarre limitless store of energy – and don’t mind repetitive and ungodly loud samba music – you might want to give this a miss.

3.Mona Lisa – Paris

The Mona Lisa itself is as well-crafted as you’ve heard, but the real issue here is trying to get a glimpse of it among the thralls of tourists inside the Louvre.

If you don’t mind spending quite literally hours to get a 10-20 second shot of the world’s most famous painting, then you’ll be fine. However, if you’re like most people and don’t want sweaty people rubbing up against you, then it might be worth avoiding.

4.Prague – the Czech Republicprague-162550_960_720

Prague is slowly becoming something of a Mecca for hipsters, with any creative person who considers themselves an artist or a writer flocking to the Czech capital over the past few years.

That means the city has become woefully overcrowded, with the pretty, but not breath-taking or particularly unique, architecture of the area unable to justify such a cram.

5.The Leaning Tower of Pisa – Italy

“Hey, look; I’m pretending to hold up this massive tower by brute strength alone! Get a photo!” It was all fun and games at first, but now we’re bordering on unbearable levels of cringe.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a perfectly nice building that happens to rest slightly askew, because the foundations were placed in soft ground. That’s about it. The insane numbers of tourists that crowd the place on a daily basis do not justify the hype.

6.Stonehenge – UK

It’s a similar story for Stonehenge. While these Neolithic rocks are interesting from a wider perspective (how did they get there? Why did people carve them? etc.), the actual site isn’t all that fascinating.

With restrictions placed on approaching the rocks themselves, you’re literally just walking in a circle roughly 100 metres away from them at all times. Why not just hop down the local park and climb on some equally interesting (albeit newer) stones?

7.The Red Light District – Amsterdam

I’m not really sure why some people feel this should be a popular tourist destination in the first place, yet, bizarrely, they do.

Perhaps unsurprisingly this haven of debauchery possesses no end of smut, with drunken stag parties, the stench of urine and unsavoury sights through bedroom windows (you know what I’m talking about) the norm. Fun, fun, fun.

8.London Eye – UKLondon-Eye-2009

In principle the London Eye is a great concept. A bird’s eye view of one of the grandest cities in the world is certainly not something to criticise.

However, the problem lies in the fact that the process takes quite a long time and doesn’t offer you that much of a different view from the midpoint through to the end. That and the fact it is for all intents and purposes just a giant Ferris wheel.

Those are eight of the most overrated destinations in the world. Have you been to any?
