easy he is heading west till the ice melts
,then turning south till the butter melts,
then west again till he can smell banananas and reefer

Oh clappy clappy clap. This is gonna keep me occupied 24/7.

Speculations! O I can't wait!!

Up a bit.. then hang a hard left and down a bit.. then hang a right and tie up for the night..

Ann.. plan on heading S down to Cap Verdes.. then hang a right.. should be below and E of any developments around mid Nov when I plan on the last leg.. so theoretically I'll be following on behind the last biggie..
Storm management...?
What's that...??

Boatie,

I think that would be a very nice trip, because of the boat and the character of the skipper.

When I saw that boat I thought it would make a great boat for Antiqua Race Week. Or for casual cruising.

As I recall, it had a very nice interior put in, much better looking than some of the other old 12 meter race boats.

Lucky crew.

Best wishes for a safe voyage for you and your crew!

Its a nice layout.. think she'll make a great Caribbean cruiser for the new owner once he's upgraded her stuff.. and apart from the trim tab pole running down the middle I love her to bits.. toy engine and all..
Mind.. I have not actually sailed her yet but I've a good feeling about her..

[boatman61]

Weavis.. if I did that I'd take the fun out of it all... suffice it to say S as far as Cap Verde.. then W + a few degrees to make Antigua..
This way you lot get to choose what you would do.. given latest weather etc.. which I don't have on board.. and then see what I actually do..
Then everyone goes WTF... and the threads up and running off its own momentum..

When you do others, it will be "Boaties another Grand Adventure"

lol..........


It could be Blackpool to Lytham St Annes and it would be a "Grand Adventure"

Hmmmm.....

I am not sure I want to read the CF comments when Boatie takes off with Shaun the Sheep as the crew...






Later,
Dan

Just like in Febuary... also.. to make it even more interesting this is going to be my first E to W crossing.. prefer the other way.. more fun and less boring

[IdoraKeeper]

All good news, I was worried he would make Lena sleep on sail bags.

Well boaty, if you need a tow into the Azores, I know this bloke…

On the move:

[CarstenWL]

... if he is not too fast this webcam might catch him next: kielmonitor.de | Webcam | Webcam Laboe

This is Laboe at the east shore of Kiel Bay facing westerly ...
Wind is pretty light (Aktuelle Wind- & Wettermesswerte Kiel/Leuchtturm - Windfinder) but he might have a layline into the bay ...

There are webcams in the locks too, also in Kiel Canal. Summery of most cams can be found here: kielmonitor.de | Alle Webcams und Schiffe in Kiel
