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:

Wakeboarding!

Some brothers from the east coast ( we met them at the bar at Soggie's, where else?) took us wakeboarding a couple of days ago. We met them a few weeks earlier and got good friends with them. They're working on a big motoryacht and have a tender that's perfectly equiped for wakeboarding. They are really good at it and showed us how it works ( see photos) on both wakeboard and wakeskate.
Since Olly and me both have some experience with skating and snowboarding we managed to get up quite quickly and had great fun.
Thank you very much for this great experience Liselott, Helen, Rolf and Wes!

PS: By the way: That's me on pics 2,3,5 and 6 and in the video.
