We have for several years dreamt of sailing from Norway to the Caribbean. We are now on our way in our little ship "Bonanza", and we'll keep you updated on this page.

Going sailing again

Now we want to go sailing, even if we are not finished with everything. We will leave for Tobago tonight, getting advantage of less wind in the night. You will maybe say that you need wind to sail, but from here to Tobago it's upwind, and the current is also very strong, so motoring is the best option.

Our engine is now running again, after we had service on the injectors. We will buy new ones, but the old ones will help us out until then. Leaks around mast and in front hatch is sealed, we hope, and our instruments are now all working properly. The last things we will do in a idyllic bay in Tobago, and then we can take a long wanted vacation and relax in our "new" vessel. We have been working hard for three weeks now, and have not seen anything of Trinidad actually. But, maybe later, now it is Tobago, the island some of us have been dreaming about for years...

After Jon left, we are only three captains left. Sandra is our crew and her sister, Katharina, will join us for one more week. The 5th of February we will get visitors from Norway, Kari and Froystein, and they will join us for three weeks up to St.Maarten. There Lars and Kristin Marie will visit us for two weeks. Yeah yeah, we have a lot to look forward to.
