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:

Update Panama Canal

Just paid our transit fee today and got an at least approximate date to go through, the 10th of May. So everything is sorted out now and all we can do is wait.
Until then we'll kill time around Colón, there's a rivermouth just a few miles east from here and we also might check out Portobelo too.

    Yo Yo Yo,

    How are things guys?

    Nice Boat. Are you sure that thing is going to make it across the Pacific?

    I hope all goes well. I will be checking in on your blog from time to time. When are you guys going to take off from Panama?

    I wish you the best of luck. I will burn one and think about both of you guys.

    Talk to you soon!

    Cheers - DJ

    Ey man,

    not too bad at all, just waiting for the canal transit now, we're scheduled for the 10th of April. So just killing time, there's far too many opportunities to get drunk here... We call it getting prepared for the crossing.
    And yeah, pretty sure that thing is gonna make it over!

    Say hello to all the good people over there, stay in touch,
    Laz
