Crew-change

Dear followers of our Grand Tour, we have an announcement to make:
Jan-Vincent decided toend his travels for now. He left Barracuda and the Caribbean in order to go back to Europe and enlargen his knowledge at university. He flew on monday this week and arrived (after some complications) save home.
I'm very lucky that new crewmember Oliver joined Barracuda. He's an Englishman from London, an aspiring artist and photographer. We met him on Martinique, together with his mate Patrick who left for London earlier. After our common trip to Dominica we decided to join forces and to go to St. Maarten together.
Olly is going to stay on board for an unknown and unlimited amount of time.
Here's some pictures of him to get to know him a little better.
Check out his works on www.olivertc.blogspot.com

Heineken-Regatta 2011

Two weeks ago we joined the Heineken-Regatta on 100 foot swan "Varsovie".
It was three days of nice and fast sailing, a good change from our average speed of four to five knots...
Jan and me worked on the foredeck, Olly was the Photographer.
Here's some of his shots!

Flashback to Dominica

Finally there's some more photos!
We start with some pictures that Olly took during our trip to Dominica dated back to the time before St. Martin.

This was where we got to know Patrick and Olly.
Enjoy!

Sint Maarten

Hi there!

We arrived savely on Sint Maarten (Dutch side) a couple of days ago.
We had a good trip over and we're looking for some work now.

We hope our new crew member Olly will supply us with some nice photos!

update

dear friends and followers,

to keep you well-informed: after our short trip to dominica we're still in martinique but next week we are going to sail to st. martin/ st. maarten in our search for work.
if anyone has contacts there, please tell us!

you'll hear from us!

st vincent and the grenadines, st lucia

hello there, people we're still alive!

the last two weeks we were travelling together with our good friends who came to the caribbean for christmas and and new year's eve.

we visited a lot of our favourite places we knew from our school-trips and had a real good time together.

chrismas eve we spent at bequia and we made a great party of it, and you can say the same thing about new year's eve which we spent at basil's bar on mustique.

it's a pity they had to leave us this afternoon to catch their flight back to germany. we'll miss you!

right now we stay at martinique for a few days, then we'll head up north for dominica where we want to spend some time.

our friends took a lot of photos, here's some of them!

cheers, crew
