May 25 - Mai 26, 2019; 652 nm and 63 days after departure from La Rochelle OMG what a ride! We had two unbelievable perfect sailing days. Downwind sailing with the swell pushing us and the sun warming our bodies. I think, that must be sailors delight as I can't think of better conditions for …
May 13 - Mai 25, 2019; 549 nm and 62 days after departure from La Rochelle A Coruña is located at the north western tip of Galicia and thereby as well of Spain. It is a modern town with a lot of history and with its approximately 250.000 inhabitants quite big. It has a picturesque …
April 29 - Mai 13, 2019; 484 nm and 50 days after departure from La Rochelle Two weeks at anchor in a beautiful bay almost on our own. It sets your soul free and gives you a lot of privacy! Just great! However, before we reached Viveiro we had a rough ride. The wind was …
April 22 - April 28, 2019; 388 nm and 35 days after departure from La Rochelle The people in Gijón love their "sidra" and we loved how they served it. So funny to watch. Why that? To get more air in the drink?! Amazing that they don't spill half of it :-), thumbs up and …

Leaving San Sebástian was a bit sad as we had to say good bye to this beautiful scenic city with it's delicious food. On the other hand we were looking forward to discover more of the Basque Country. The passage was unspectacular. The most exciting part was the unexpected heavy winds in the beginning of …
Wow! Almost 3 weeks have been gone since our last entry. Time has been flying; probably because of so many impressions and new adaptions. I need to keep up better with the blog! We loved San Sebastián. It is a beautiful cosy town with a lot of historical buildings and very sociable people. The pintxos …
Very excited on March 23rd, 2019 at 6:45 am we lifted our anchor at Ile de Ré heading south to Spain after the winter. 180 nm through the Biscay alongside the French atlantic coast. It was a beautiful day. The weather god was definitely in a good mood. 10 knots of wind, no clouds and …
Yes,yes,yes we finaly made it! We left La Rochelle. But before we were ready to leave we had to cope with our last major project - the renewal of the antifouling. It turned out to be an ugly, unhealthy, dirty work which nobody likes doing but it is managable. The good part is, you can …
Sorry guys for all the notification e-mails you might have received (we do not know who did get notificaitons and who didn't). We discovered that our entries were getting to big and will become even more bulky if we continue in the same way as we have done. So we tried to restructure the website …
