  • Ireland and Scotland

    After being on the water for a long time, sailing almost the entire Mediterranean sea from East to West and then the North Atlantic Ocean, adjusting to land life takes some time. But it is easier to arrive in a little village then in a big town.

  • To Ireland in six weeks

    Its time to fullfill one of my dreams: sailing to Scotland and Ireland. Stella is flying to Bodrum on June 5 and we will leave Gulluk on June 7. The total journey is around 3400 miles. At an asumed average speed of 5 knots that is 28 days of continuous sailing. But this is Covid time….

  • Reunion Island

    How is it possible? Turkey to Reunion island, 500 miles east of Madagascar in the Indian ocean in a month? Well, simply by cheating: a flight from Paris. This is the plan and it sounds good: First a 150km train north to Utrecht, then the midnight Flixbus to Paris airport then the 11 hour flight to Saint Denis de la Reunion. I am too early so I see the 21.00 leave for Paris.
