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 in the water!!


We're back in the water!! All went well. Except for the engine which is still overheating...

So we had a very relaxing sail over to the anchorage, felt good to be sailing again after all this time on land.

We first thought this was a coral inside the engine, but turns out it is a zink anode!



Success!!


In the lift




Aaand on friday we're going to set sail for the San Blas islands off the panamese coast where we want to chill for a good week and recover from all the working before we head for the canal and eventually the Pacific!

    Nu is das Schiff wieder da, wo es hingehört! Viel Glück + Erfolg noch mit dem Motor, den werdet ihr ja noch brauchen... Und wenn ihr jetzt noch die Immigrationsmiezen bezirzt habt, kann's ja weiter gehen - lasst euren Charme spielen guys!
    Gute Reise, schöne Brisen und klares Wasser!
