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:

st vincent and the grenadines, st lucia





hello there, people we're still alive!

the last two weeks we were travelling together with our good friends who came to the caribbean for christmas and and new year's eve.

we visited a lot of our favourite places we knew from our school-trips and had a real good time together.

chrismas eve we spent at bequia and we made a great party of it, and you can say the same thing about new year's eve which we spent at basil's bar on mustique.

it's a pity they had to leave us this afternoon to catch their flight back to germany. we'll miss you!

right now we stay at martinique for a few days, then we'll head up north for dominica where we want to spend some time.

our friends took a lot of photos, here's some of them!

cheers, crew

  1. Hey crew, good to hear from you again! And to see that you are having a beautiful start into the new year 2011! What nice weather you have... Here, all the snow and ice has thawed and it's raining at 10°C. I'm really looking forward to springtime - but I'm afraid it will take a few days to come...
    Wishing you lots of luck and may all your days go on like the ones you are living now :))

  6. Hi guys
    Im glad to see you are OK but I miss you! We (Allie, Fri Inspirasjon and Mare Liberum are all on Tobago right now. We will probably head north toward the end of the week. I'm thinking Grenada and then the Grenadines. Would be great to see you again!

  8. Already heading north? What's your plans now, going back to Europe or go with the flow through Panama? We're still in Bridgetown after 33 days crossing and heading for the Grenadines in a few days. Would be really nice to meet up again, we miss you! Best wishes / Henrik, Kerstin & Calle

  10. Go south, go south, go south. We're at Union Island now, after cruising the Grenadines. Hopefully we'll meet up with the guys at Allie somewhere around, would be nice to meet you again. What are your plans now? Are you going back (boring) or will you go thru Panama (fun fun fun)?
