UPDATE FROM ABORD AVONTUUR<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Let’s go on Voyage 9<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On 8th February we set sail: after just about three days in the port of Bordeaux and the unloading of our goods transported on Voyage 8, the AVONTUUR set sail on what is now our ninth cargo sailing voyage with fresh supplies and a new crew. Our “Classic Route” will take us via the Canary Islands to the Caribbean, where we will take new rum on board for us. Subsequent port stops are planned in Costa Rica, Belize and Mexico to load coffee and cocoa for our cooperation partners.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>From Progreso we will then start our way back across the North Atlantic again and, after a short stopover in the Azores, should reach our destination port of Hamburg by the end of June.<\/p>\n

On our first leg, however, things got a bit wild: after only 4 days at sea, we had to drop anchor in the R\u00eda de Betanzos on the north coast of Spain, because a low-pressure area from the Atlantic is currently blowing a strong headwind across our bow. There is only one thing left to do: wait and see.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But our crew is taking it easy and making the best of it, as you can see. If the wind forecasts remain reasonably reliable, we should be able to weigh anchor on Thursday and leave Galicia behind on a north-westerly course. From Friday onwards, our ship can expect near gale to gale force winds from a northerly direction. Ideal for passing Spain’s westernmost peninsula, Cape Finisterre, far to port with the flowing sheets and heading south downwind to reach Tenerife, probably on 24th February.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On a sailing ship, the clocks sometimes run differently and our plans have to be adjusted again and again. That is the natural order of things, and we go with it, not against it.<\/p>\n
