While winter is beginning in Europe, we make our way across the Atlantic to discover
the Caribbean - always facing the sunset. You can join the adventure as a sailor you will
be asked to assist in sail setting and other task on board , if you join as a crew member
you will be assigned to a watch system and actively involved in life on board. On this
trip, we sail the classic Atlantic route as it was done hundreds of years ago. With the
:
NE-trade winds, we will only sail if possible. For this, we have taken more time in the
route planning. If the wind is okay with us, we should arrive at our destinations a few
days before. This means that you have time to discover the country, people, culture and
highlights. You can either sail along the whole route or just a part of it
.

and catch the
trade winds with
your sails.
