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:

Pacific Side!

Yesterday, 11th of May, the Miraflores Locks opened up for us to let Barracuda pass and enter the big old Pacific Ocean.


 We are approaching the Canal, all locks still to come. With Andy and James, our Aussie linehandlers.


 For the Gatún Locks we rafted up with some French fellas.





 This is the guy we shared the lock with




First locks at dusk - exciting!!
