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!

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

Bequia, Grenadines

Dear readers,

this morning in an early hour we arrived at Admiralty Bay, Bequia.
We had a good and quick passage over from Barbados, lots of rain and thunderstorms though... but they allowed us to make an average of about six knots.
it's the first caribbean island we've visited before and we're awaiting the arrival of our dear segel-ag fellows for the celebration of christmas eve.
unfortunately the digi-cam is broken, so no photos =(
we'll try to fix it for you!
have a nice and cosy christmas everybody but don't go out, you might freeze on the spot.
greets, your crew

More Material

Bridgetown, Barbados

More than glad to tell you: yesterday, the 13th of december we arrived at Barbados after 23 days out on sea.The sailing was quite easy for the weather was mainly good.

The first ten days we had rather weak winds from variable directions, sometimes no wind at all and we couldn't make big distances. But after this period (we really asked ourselves if there is such a thing as tradewinds) the passat picked up and except for the last two days we had great conditions and approached barbados very quickly.

We had a good time out on sea though it was really a long time on a small space. But we enjoyed it and ourselves most of the time.

Nd now we're here, finally at our destination and it is perfectly what we wished for and had hoped.

The water is still turquoise, the beaches are still white, palm trees and caribbean spirit still there!

At the moment we're only busy with enjoying, relaxing and recovering from the long time on sea.

Thanks to all of you for all kinds of support,
Yours truly, laszlo and Jan-Vincent

the big passage

it's the evening before a big adventure is about to happen. last preparations have been made and the last doubts have been erased.
we are sitting in a beautiful open bar enjoying the last breath of land and civilisation.
what has been so far away some weeks ago is now present and it feels great.
tomorrow we will start to face the sea for the longest time so far.
the distanced has become easier to imagine since the passage from the canaries to this place, it's a bit more than two times it.

we'll do our best to live a comfortable life out on sea, today we bought a lot of fruit and veggies, at least the first week will be a healthy one...

if the winds stay steady it will probably take us two to three weeks to reaach barbados, otherwise it might take a little longer... but we have food and water for probably three months so this would be no problem.

you'll hear from us when we arrive,
so long!
