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:

Harwich project accomplished




after three days and two nights on the north sea, we arrived in harwich, england.
everything went good though we had the wind right against us. the waves were quite high but the boat took them very well. we didn't. at the beginning there was a time with more waves than wind and being inside navigating was quite a challenge.

cooking was impossible most of the time, the one who made food didn't have much hunger anymore...
but we better get used to it, don't we?

the big cargo ships were very impressing and they go very fast! luckily they're lit very well and you can't look around them, even at night.

friday in the afternoon we arrived in harwich and we're getting a first impression of england. it's rather downtown here or maybe we didn't find uptown yet...

but there won't be much time left, we only stayed for one night and will be heading for dover this afternoon.

we took a lot of pictures, they'll be posted from dover.

on we go, you'll hear from us!

ps: dank je wel joost voor de headlamps, they're in use every night most of the time!
en joop voor de zeilen en de reparatie-spullen, hadden we ook al nodig.
en heine voor de twee emers plamuur! en ook voor de andere dingen.
en dolf en jessica en ferry voor de boormachine en de boortjes,
en zo verder...
