After spending Christmas in Outremer Bay with Spekeend, Bombarda and Surya we split up again and sail together with Surya to Josephine's bath on the windward coast of the island.
After crossing the Atlantic Ocean via Cabo Verde we lounge and relax around the boat anchored in Carlisle Bay / Bridgetown. Nice wrecks to snorkel, and trying to get in balance on the wing and E-foil.
Dead downwind behind our heavy cloth polyester spi towards Barbados. Cape Verde to Mindelo in 9 days and a couple of hours, mostly just along the great circle line.
After stoppping for 2 days in Mindelo, Cabo Verde, we continue towards Barbados. The forecast looks great. Following the great circle course we shouldn't sail for a lot more than 2050 miles.
Now the bigger crossings are starting. We have a nice build up with first the 650 miles from Sevilla to the Canaries, now the 850 miles to Cabo Verde and next the 2.100 miles to Barbados.
Difficult weather patterns but still surprisingly good sailing time...
The Outremer After-sales service team flies in to fix the final issues before the crossing while we prepare the boat, check the rig, provision and visit the highest mountain in Spain.
On November 20th we left for Barbados with a potential stop in Cabo Ver...
It's already getting busy in Gibraltar with GLYWO boats on their way to Cadiz. Tina and I leave around noon, maybe still a bit early for the current but it should be fine later on. Let's see whether we manage to fly our A2 straight through the Strait passe...
Next stop after Mallorca is Ibiza. Close haul from Mallorca to the NE corner of Ibiza and then clockwise via Santa Eularia to Formentera with enough wind for a decent sail.

Yes, we're on our way for a 30.000 miles adventure sailing around the world.
In the first leg we will sail to the center of Seville, with stops on the Baleares, Gibraltar and Cadiz

And then it's time to sail. Instead of the normal Outremer Cup we wi...
Bonus :
As we were too busy preparing for the GLYWO I haven’t been able to finish the nee episode. To make up for it, I’ll publish a private video of our visit to Privilège a couple of months ago.
On our way back to Holland we took a closer look at ...
We're still preparing for the around the world rally, finishing the after sales list and doing the safety check.
But we do find the time to travel by train to the Cannes Boat Show to (again) have a look at all the (for us) relevant catamarans on display.
...
This time we're sailing in just a tiny bit of wind and the boat still wants to move. Still working on after sales support items and preparing the boat for our sailing around the world departure at the end of this month.
But first we'll pay a visit to the ...
Back in La Grande Motte the preparation for the around the world rally continues as Outremers' After Sales Service team solves the issue list after the shake down cruise and we have a special sailing day where the experts Loïc and Matthoeu show me how it'...
