spinnaker, couple of lost fish that snapped their undersized gear, and a continuous fight to clear their rudders of seaweed that covered large areas of the ocean surface.<\/p>\n<p>This phenomenon has also been reported by other yachts and is presumably a consequence of climate change, as the ocean waters are getting increasingly warmer.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"
