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:

Nazaré

hey there,

yesterday we arrived in nazaré after another day on the engine...
but today there's northerly winds forecast, so we hope to be able to sail again, will be quite an experience.

our goal is peniche or maybe even cascais if we get our lights fixed- this will take a while.

then we're nearly in lisboa, where we want to stay a while.

one more very important thing, the swedish people we mentionend before, they have a website aswell (a pretty good one compared to ours), there you can see some pictures of the time we spent together too.
This is the link: 28fot.com

  2. Hi guys!
    Nice photos on the site of your Swedish friends! Are you planning to sail together for a while?
    You are getting along very well, it seems.
    Just a little hint: I met a friend some days ago - she spent some holidays in Marrakesh and on the Moroccan Atlantic coast. She said, Marrakesh is a beauty, but the Atlantic coast is not so nice: dirty and packed with beggars...
    Have a good time, whichever decision you take!
    Love, Mom

  3. Hallo Ihr Lieben,
    jetzt mal Butter bei die Fische...! Ich habe natürlich gerne was dafür getan damit Ihr eine Kühlung an Bord habt, aber den Champus hat Michael gesponsort. Wir sitzen gerade bei einen Gläschen Moselwein und verfolgen Euren Trip. Ihr seht es geht uns auch nicht so schlecht, aber beim Betrachten Eurer Fotos, beschleicht uns das heimliche Gefühl, dass es Euch besser geht. Wir Euch alles Gute und immer eine Handbreit Wasser unter dem Kiel. Liebe Grüße Chris, Pauline und Michael
