Years on land and sea
We're having a great time here. It was my birthday yesterday. That was fun. Because it started at sea and ended on land. And because of my birthday, I got lucky with a game. From the number of miles...
Crossing to Trinidad
The crossing to Trinidad is very smooth and fast. It is still quite a distance of over 500 miles, but due to the fact that a large part of the time there is a strong current (the Guyana current of such...
The Surinamese interior
What a great decision to include Suriname in our travel planning. The country has a rich and beautiful tropical rainforest, very green, a beautiful river with very clear water, beautiful villages along....
Holidays in Paramaribo
Suriname and Paramaribo exceed our expectations, it's fun and weird to hear Dutch so far away from home, because that's just the native language of Suriname, just like the Netherlands, but much more relaxed, very nice and ...
The second part of the Atlantic crossing to Suriname
The previous report ended after 7 days and about halfway across the crossing. In this report we pick up the thread there again. A few more hours and then we sail up the Suriname River; the end of the more than two...
Almost halfway across the Atlantic!
After exactly 7 days of sailing we are still about 200 miles away from the halfway point to Suriname. We had honestly expected that after 7 days we would be at half. That was also...

Dear class 6E
Today we are on our way to Surinam. It is two weeks sailing but we think two days longer. We have already caught a lot of fish. And the Barbarossa and the Valentine too. The bait has been bitten off by a giant...
Cape Verden - Mindelo
It's going to happen, we leave for Suriname today! A crossing of about 2000 miles that will take us somewhere between 13 and 15 days, so we will arrive in Paramaribo either just before or on Christmas....
ohoh
We were lying in an anchor bay. The anchor of the barbarossa broke off. They were blown to the rocks. There were very big waves. They were stuck there. And there were very big waves. A wave chattering inside. Everything...
Cape Verden - Sal and Sinterklaas
We are currently in the marina of Mindelo, on the island of Sao Vincent, the most developed island of the Cape Verden, and it is full of other departures (many nationalities) who all have the plan to make the next...
Marinthe on the Cape Verden
When we went there were a little high waves. I was a little nauseous. The second day was a bit calmer. But the third day was very busy. But I wasn't nauseous. That's because I was...
On the Cape Verden and the crossing
The crossing was 3 days sailing. The first day we had a fish on the hook in the afternoon. He was about 30 cm long. And had a white color. In the evening we ate him. He was very tasty....
Crossing to the Cape Verden
So, we arrived yesterday morning on the island of Sal, part of the Cape Verden. Sal is the most northeastern island of the Cape Verden. It is flat, 30 km long and 12 km wide, with lots of beach and tourism...
Farewell to The Gambia
