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:

Panama Canal

We are now in Colón, sorting out all the paperwork and seeing and paying the officials for the Panama Canal transit. It all looks very good, the boat has been measured and inspected, linehandlers are found. On Tuesday we'll pay the fee and hopefully receive a date for the transit. We'll do it in two days and stay in the Gatun Lake overnight.

PS: There's a new load of photos in the San Blas post!



There's crocodiles in the marina!

    What are "linehandlers"? And how much is the fee? How long will you have to wait? And how long will the passage take approximately?
