Der Plan
This is the blog of our travels with s/y Barracuda.
The trip started in August 2010 from Harlingen in the Netherlands as a young man's adventure by Jan-Vincent Nickl and Laszlo Schöffer, both born of the year '89 (also the owners of 'Barracuda').
After crossing the Atlantic Ocean and cruising the Eastern Caribbean islands for a while, Jan left the boat and Oliver Clasper, a young artist and photographer (born of '88) from London joined in. We plan for this year to cross the South Pacific.
The boat is a dutch-built sloop,ten metres long, year of construction 1975. She's a Cumulant 3 to be more precise, designed by 'Van-der-Vlis'.
Most of the photos will be posted on Olly's blog, check it out:

Brighton
right now we're in brighton, a lovely city with lots of young people ( many students said the taxi driver).
it was quite a nice passage from dover although we had the wind against us most of the time again.
the lighthouse at beachy head in front of the white cliffs there was a very pretty sight. but more spectacular was an airshow performed by several jetplanes performed right over our heads.
luckily we're getting used to the life on the water, we didn't get seasick for a long time now.
as the weather- forecast is good for the following days we will be heading fo plymouth this afternoon and, if it stays fair, we'll try to get to spain as quick as possible.
