zeyang Skrevet 2. januar 2017 Forfatter Del Skrevet 2. januar 2017 Newsletter January 2017Dear all,As we enter 2017 sailing the farm wants to wish all our friends asincerely happy new year.2016 was a big change for our project- it was the year of sailing, notjust boatbuilding and farming.Sofar we have sailed more than 2000 nautical miles from Oslo to theCanary Islands. been more than 30 pepole onboard in 2016. Hailed from all over theworld. It has been a joy to sail with all of you and we hope to seesome of you salty crew back for more fun and seasickness in 2017 :-)We are slowly starting to know this metal lady and she seems morehappy in stronger winds. Her fastest speed is 8.7 knots. She hatesheadwind and doesent like tacking very much. (as matter of fact shetacks like a pregnant whale on a bad day) floats like a duck in bigwaves and feel extremely safe in rough weather.For 2017 we hope to continue explore our fantastic planet, share andlearn new skills and also get scuba diving and compressor onboad toexplore our underwater world.Our next big leg will be from Canary to South America or West Indiesthen onwards into pacific. If you want to join please send us anemail.

zeyang Skrevet 20. april 2017 Forfatter Del Skrevet 20. april 2017 We are now in Salvador Brazil on 12 degrees south after 21 days of pleasant crossing from cape verde. As on old sailing ship crossing equator line Neptune came onboard to baptist the crew, thankfully she didn't use tar and feather as in old days so it was pretty easy to clean off the barber foam, then they was eligible to have a anchor tattoo with name of their loved ones. Some had problem remember their boyfriends name for a second it seems Rest of journey from 0 degree to 12 degrees south was with a couple of days of calm weather until we hit the easterly wind on the south side and then straight for Salvador.Salvador was discovered in 1501 and soon became the main trade route for Portugal and a slave trade port. I'm curious the route they sailed empty back to Africa to get more slaves. Going straight east is hard so they might go south to catch the westerly wind down there. Portugal had some 30.000 voyages shipping more than 4.5 million slaves between Africa and Brazil.Anyway our plan is going south into colder climate again. Hopefully all way down the south American continent before we have to decide if we want to explore African side or west side of south America (if wind and weather permits) .If you want to join please send us an email.LoveSailing The FarmA Seagypsy Tribe of Tomorrow Siter Lenke til kommentar Del på andre sider Flere delingsvalg…
