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:

Figueira da Foz





hey friends,

we're right now in figueira, a rather small and touristic town but with a nice pub...
we arrived yesterday in the afternoon after another day without wind. the most spectacular thing of the trip was the catch of a quite small bonito that we cooked lateron. for the rest it was a lot of sun and reading for the one that did not steer.

the weather doesn't look too bad today either so probably we'll head further south to peniche.

we're very much thinking about whether to go straight to madeira from lisboa or to follow the coast and see morocco as well.
if any experienced oceansailor reads this, what do you think, what are your experiences, especially about the moroccan coast?

sorry for there are no pictures again, forgot the camera...

greets

    ihr habt einfach das falsche Boot gewählt -> http://www.loic-pochet.com :-D

    aber im Ernst: schon die Foren probiert? Z.B. http://forum.yacht.de ? Man muss ja nicht jedes Rad neu erfinden.

    LG M.
