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:

Back to Barracuda

Our time in St. Maarten comes to an end, the flights back to Cartagena, Colombia are booked. We will be leaving on Saturday the 17th.
There's still some work on the boat to be done, we expect to fixing old Barracuda up for about two weeks and then head for Colón, Panamá and to the Canal straight away.

It won't be easy to leave all the good friends we've made here, but hopefully we'll meet all of you guys again in some corner of the earth! Thanks to you we had a really good time here!

We managed to save up a little bit of money here, hopefully it will get us to Australia, where we will try and find some work again.

You'll hear from us once we're back on the boat with some updates on the situation.
