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:

sao vicente, cabo verde






hello folks!

on saturday we arrived at sao vicente to be precise mindelo.

it was a long but relaxing passage, we hope the crossing will be like it. we caught a lot of fish so we could eat very well.

the island is charming, the first time a caribbean feeling.

we met up with some swedish and norwegian friends and are having a great time.

on saturday we plan to leave for the big passage, the boat and we are ready for it (we think).

we'll try to give another report on friday but don't be mad on us if we don't succeed, we have a lot of things in our heads, especially enjoying...

otherwise you'll hear from us once we're in barbados or bequia.
don't worry if you hear nothing from us for a while, we expect some 3 to 4 weeks out on see.

sorry for there are no pictures,

there's a technical problem...

greets

  1. Die sieht ja richtig traurig aus, die Goldmakrele. Aber dafür hat sie bestimmt um so besser geschmeckt!
