2010-07-11 Caribbean time
Disalagraptus lied quietly in the dock, and we were good to go. Anders arrived, our ambition to be ready fullfilled, so we sent out Gregory and Rebecca to shop for two weeks, and fixed the last things on the boat.
2010-06-12 Pursuing a dream of blue turtles
Some in the owners group turned out to be a bit concerned about me launching the boat on my own. So I had a long on-line chat turned phone chat with Anders, to assure him that things were under control. I had run around the docks talking to skippers and marina crew, to get help and advice for the operation. The problem was that i had never sailed Disalagraptus before, and had no idea how she would behave. It's a heavy boat, and especially in the reverse gear, when steering control is zero, it would be tricky to manoeuver her.
So I mobilized a small army of skippers to come with their dinghies and act as tugs and buffers, and most importantly, to secure the stern line that we would pull the boat in place with.
2010-06-04 Oh Trinidad!
After 4 weeks alone with the doings on the boat, finally i got some company. And what company! Gregory and Rebecca from Texas are real enthusiastic, and we are looking at a few final tasks to finish together before the boat can go into the water. We spent the first day off the boat though, together with Nombuso, a great girl from South Africa/US who organized the most fascinating trip up in the jungle where we walked up a fresh creek and bathed and swam in all the little ponds on the way. When we reached a big cold one that we could really dive into, we hung out and took in the forest with all its frogs, crabs, fish, butterflies and the beautiful cascade.
2010 - 2012 Caribien, Mellemamerika og Stillehavet
Disalagraptus ligger for øjeblikket på bedding i Trinidad. Vi har ligget lidt I læ efter vores togt på Amazonas, men nu er sejlene sat for nye eventyr, med en horisont på mindst to år frem.
De store linjer i vores sejlplaner er som følger:
Fra dec. 2010 sejler vi nordpå op gennem Caribien. Efter tre til fire måneder går vi over til østkysten af Mellemamerika. En nærlæsning af kyststrækningen fra Yucatan halvøen/Belize og til den sydlige del af Panama, byder på en uendelig række af muligheder. Utallige øgrupper, indenskærs sejlads - eller flod sejlads ind i landet.
