Searching the Wind!



Tomorrow we set off from Tenerife heading to Saint Marteen. The preaparation has been fun and now we're ready and all we can do is hope for some wind to keep us moving for the first few days before we hopefully reach the tradewinds.
We're twelve on board after the arrival of 6 delivery crew all from Germany. Good guys all of them and from the talk quite good sailors as well so should be a good fun bunch to sail with. Really looking forward to the experience.
The usual crossing in this superyachts I work for is carachterized by the fact that when the boat is sailing at anything less than 8 knots, you just turn the engine on and keep moving... so interesting to go across the Atlantic powered only by wind, like the goo all days, like Columbus did.
Not very Columbus though is this little piece of cyber gear I will show you where you can track our position as we sail along in real time.
Will do my best to keep posting....
