A common question in our conversations with our friends back home is: „Do you still have enough money?“ — „Well… that’s a long story….“ Could be an answer. But it isn’t.

The family sailed six and a half days from Mexico to this tiny island in the West Caribbean, a hundred miles off the rough coast of Nicaragua. Provedencia is confined, and we are confined, too..

ARGI is currently anchored inside the warning cone of a potential hurricane. The abundance of information still requires a decision and bailout plans

When the CORONA virus hit the world, we have been forced to stop sailing, forced on anchor. Our family together with our fellow-cruisers went into an Retreat, to say the least. In the retreat iour ambitions sometimes develop afresh.

While the World is in lock-down, neither traveling nor cruising is possible, reasonable or advisable. We could move with our boat across the oceans, but getting from A to B in the shortest time is for freighters, delivery crews or regatta boats, but not the point of our Atlantic Circle, right?

Sailing with European passports to US waters involves a lot of guessing whether ESTA is applicable to European cruisers. There is no information on official US website, but we have researched, tested and proved a procedure, which is described here.

Genauso wie mit Seekrankheit muss man sich bei einer Langzeitsegelreise mit substanzieller finanziellen Unbill auseinandersetzen. Hier schreiben wir über Träume, ‚stop the bleeding‘ und Kostenstrukturen. Und die untergegangenen Träume in den Riffen von Le Marin/Martinique.

Am 100. Tag unserer Reise liegen wir eingeweht auf La Gomera. Unsere Abfahrt zu den Kapverden verzögert sich. Zeit für Reparaturen am Boot, Wanderungen an Land. Sowie ein erstes Resümee unserer Reise. Leben wir den Traum? Sind wir im „Traumleben“ angekommen? Haben die Reiseeindrücke uns verändert? Werden wir alte Gewohnheiten los?

We sail with the NE tradewinds to the westerly Canarian Islands and enjoy the relaxed Santa Cruz de Tenerifa. And we perform scheduled engine maintenance and reflect on engine costs.
