a Tina of all Trades – Sailing Greatcircle (ep.178)
After crossing the Atlantic with us from the BVI to Amsterdam, Tina follows us along to a couple of lakes south of Amsterdam before she flies with Sander to Goteborg. Tina has just started her own YouTube channel : help her to a flying start by a like an...
Azores to Amsterdam – Sailing Greatcircle (ep.177)
The remaining part of the crossing from Horta, Azores to Amsterdam.
6 Days Azores to UK – Sailing Greatcircle (ep.176)
After a new lockdown in Horta, Açores we find a nice weather window to head towards the European continent. It turns out to be a smooth ride as we manage to stay ahead of the next significant storm heading our way from the Bahama’s
A funny lockdown in the Azores – Sailing Greatcircle (ep.175)
You would almost start to like being in lockdown. After our very blue lockdown in the North Sound of the BVI we sailed for 2 weeks just to end up in another lockdown on the Azores. As in the BVI we are not allowed to leave the boat at all, but still there...
Stormy weather to the Azores – Sailing Greatcircle (ep.174)
As soon as we decide to head straight to Horta the forecast changes and we get a bit more waves and wind in our direction than we bargained for. Especially during night time when you end up in conditions you weren't in before (pretty high waves coming fro...
Leaving for the Azores – Sailing Greatcircle (ep.173)
We're sailing back from the BVI to Holland, via the Acores. Crossing the Atlantic west to east seems to be quite a bit different compared to the one and only ocean crossing we did so far with the ARC last November. Luckily Tina joins us on this trip on he...
Locked down in the BVI – Sailing Greatcircle (ep.172)
In hindsight we will be able to judge what was the best response to the corona version. In the BVI they seem to have succeeded in keeping the number of initial cases very limited. The downside of course is the 24/7 full lockdown where we aren't even able t...
Isolated in the BVI – Sailing Greatcircle (ep.171)
Maybe naieve but we hadn't expected a center of tourism like the BVI would just send boats away without knowing where to go. All countries around us are closed in the meantime, and people living in isolation on their boat should be the least of the worries...
Sailing in the BVI – Sailing Greatcircle (ep.170)
While the net of closing countries around us tightens we're sailing in the same area as on our first sailing trip together, 22 years ago, but now on our own boat.
Saint Maarten to the BVI – Sailing Greatcircle (ep.169)
Walter & Christine join us on Greatcircle as we cross the 80 miles between Sint Maarten and the British Virgin Islands. A lot of Caribbean islands are starting to close their borders, we might have to stay here for a while.
Tacking to St Barth – Sailing Greatcircle (ep.168)
Peter & Edit Harken join us on Greatcircle straight against the wind from Sint Maarten to Saint Barth.
Heineken regatta – Around the island – Sailing Greatcircle (ep.167)
On day 2 of the 40th Heineken regatta the course is clockwise around the island. A lot of tacking before we get to try Eight’s brand new Code 0...
Heineken Regatta – Close racing on day 1 – Sailing Greatcircle (ep.166)
We're invited on SY Eight to participate in the Sint Maarten Heineken regatta. Spoiler alert : we didn't win, but the boat is still in one piece. This episode covers the first day of the regatta, in the next one we go around the island.
Back to Sint Maarten – Sailing Greatcircle (ep.165)
Can't use the dinghy because there is water in the fuel (and in the outboard itself in the meantime), and it's still blowing 25 - 30 knots most of the time. So we decide to skip Statia and Saba for the moment and return back to Sint Maarten earlier than pl...
