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:

Aitutaki, Cook Islands

Just got to Aitutaki this morning after nearly six days of sailing from Tahiti. The passage was alright, except for the fact that we're getting a little tired of passages altogether...
We'll stay here only for a couple of nights before we head off to Niue, another 580 miles to the west. The reason for this mad rush: We've got to be in Fiji in less than a month for a blissful event: Amelia arrives there by plane to join Barracuda once again - this time for good! - and comlete Team Barry, finally!!!

We'll make the very best of our brief stay and rent some scooters tomorrow for the more efficient way of exploring. And the best thing about it: We'll do it with our best cruiser friends ever, Henrik and Kiki from 'Birka', 'cause since this morning we're finally re-united! Guys, it's been far too long a time without you since Galapagos!

PS: The Photos will have to wait, the net's just too slow here, I'm afraid.
