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:

Carriacou, Grenadines

Yesterday we arrived in Carriacou with the last light. It was a long sail over from Dominica with far too little wind. And since unfortunately up in Dominica our gearbox broke down we couldn't use the engine. We hope the mecanics down in Tyrell Bay can help us out for a reasonnable price because we probably can't afford a new one imported from Europe.

At the moment we're staying on a mooring just in front of Sandy Island, the only spot we could reach before dark. Tomorrow we might check out the traditional regatta in Petite Martinique.
