We found a good mooring ball in the bay of Bas de Terre. Now it was time to celebrate Anders birthday with a traditional Marzipan cake and a champagne lunch on board Ydalir together with Karin and Holger from Rivercafe. Then a quick nap and in the evening we had a delicious dinner at Ti…
On the January 21 we left Martinique and sailed north to Dominica. The sailing along the green mountainous leeward coast was smooth and after four hours sail, we came to Prince Rupert Bay. The Dominican Covid 19 requirement’s were a PCR test and five days of quarantine. As we wanted to continue to Guadeloupe, we…
These two men, Guilhem and Lilian crossed The Atlantic in this tiny boat a little bit closer to the water then we did. On the 7th of January we met them when they arrived to Le Marin in Martinique from the Canaries. They had been rowing two hours, then sleeping for two hours in the…
On the sixth of January it was time to leave St. Lucia and sail 23 miles to the neighbour island, Martinique. Under normal conditions, the islands nurse close relations, but in Covid-19 times, they are very isolated. With winds of force 6, we had a nice sail. Our AIS didn’t get a GPS contact, so…
We have travelled so far in 2020 and now a new year is here. What will it bring and which places will we see? As the Covid-19 virus still steers the regulations in the countries we want to visit, we have decided to stay in the Caribbean, instead of passing the Panama Canal this year.…
After Christmas we got the news that our new toilet had arrived in Rodney Bay and we had a nice sail back there with 20 knots wind. It was great to be at sea again and also a good feeling to come to a familiar place. Roger from St.Lucia could help us to install the…
Dear Family, Friends and Followers, we are far away from you all and Europe now. How long the distance is, was very physical to us on the days during the Atlantic crossing. You shall all know that it makes us very happy that you want to join our adventures from a distance. It means a…
Arriving to St.Lucia and Rodney Bay Marina on the 10th of December at 8:57 am, we had to stay at the quarantine dock and wait for our PCR-test results the next day. We were very happy to meet the other ARC boats and we were very proud to stretch our legs as confident Atlantic sailors.…
At three o clock in the morning we saw the lights of St. Lucia and Martinique on the horizon after 2100 NM. Some squalls followed Ydalirs silent sail both on starboard and to Portside and the moon was smiling from behind as we approached the Caribbean. The stars were still guiding us, before they went…
This morning we got the news we have been waiting for. We will get the results of the Covid test today at noon and all are negative. This is as close to the deadline as possible as St. Lucia requires tests, no older than seven days before departure and today at noon is seven days!!…
