With a mast of 28m high, the sails are beasts! We immediately get an average speed of 7 knots, which unfortunately also involves a lot of leaning and bumping into waves so I'm a bit seasick most ofWeiterlesen

The first days out of Gibraltar we get to experience the Atlantic at it's best: it's sunny and the waves are very long and smooth. We get time to chill on the bow mattresses for the first time andWeiterlesen

It's a weird feeling to disembark, knowing that we won't see land for three weeks.

New Year's Eve in the middle of the ocean! We set aside the usual boat rules and celebrated with one glass of champagne and a flare (similar enough to fireworks 🎇). Otherwise, it's business asWeiterlesen

I was told that the north is greener and wilder so I said goodbye to Dawid and set out on my own. I hitchhiked to the cheapest accommodation on the whole island and was pleasantly surprised. The viewWeiterlesen

Yet another hitchhiking adventure brought me to the capital, where I stayed at Joby's place (a Rasta I met while on the road a few days earlier). Fort-de-France itself is not that interesting but itWeiterlesen
