Email To A Friend   Back To Boating Stories

The yacht "Maiken" was traveling in the South Pacific when the crew came across a weird sight - it was sand in the water, and the sand was floating on top of the waves!

Look at the following photos and try to imagine the feeling, the thrill of experiencing this phenomenon close-up.
