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:

Bequia, Grenadines

Dear readers,

this morning in an early hour we arrived at Admiralty Bay, Bequia.
We had a good and quick passage over from Barbados, lots of rain and thunderstorms though... but they allowed us to make an average of about six knots.
it's the first caribbean island we've visited before and we're awaiting the arrival of our dear segel-ag fellows for the celebration of christmas eve.
unfortunately the digi-cam is broken, so no photos =(
we'll try to fix it for you!
have a nice and cosy christmas everybody but don't go out, you might freeze on the spot.
greets, your crew

    Hi crew,
    today we tried to join you on Skype - but no way... it didn't work. It seems, Skype are having problems with their server today. So we had a nice evening drinking Prosecco auf euer Wohl. We also wish you a beautiful Christmas - we'll be back from snowy Black Forest on 27. Then we'll try to join you once again. Never give up!
    Kisses, Mom + Micha

    hey, schon gewusst, dass es auf St. Vincent and the Grenadines eine "Unity Labour Party" gibt, die aktuelles Mitglied der Sozialistischen Internationale ist? Man lernt nie aus! :-)
