ARC2009 - we are committed

Posted On Wednesday, 21 January 2009 at at 10:43 by Kapten Ingerup


Today we have completed and sent the entry form for the ARC2009.
  • If you want to find out more about ARC go to www.worldcruising.com/arc

  • The crew of Soprano http://www.soprano.bloggsida.se has now arrived in the Caribbean and is waiting for the tiny yacht (24 feet) to do the same. We tried to convince them of doing their trip a year later but they couldn't wait. We wish them the best of winds!

One year from now

Posted On Monday, 19 January 2009 at at 20:42 by Kapten Ingerup


One year from now this will be everyday life. The sky will be blue, the ocean turquise and the temperature much more comfortable than today. Get the picture? You'll want to be in our flippers.

But right now it is quite cold aboard Cantare. Of course I'm not dressed like this when working with the gearing, but still it is freezing. Today we have completed the windvane mounting. We could use the old bathing ladder, which was center-mounted before, but we had to make new attachment points on one of the windvane's tubes. Sometimes having a father with a mechanical engineering company comes in handy.

So long Christmas

Posted On Sunday, 11 January 2009 at at 01:19 by Kapten Ingerup

So long Christmas, see you next time in the Caribbean

Christmas holiday is starting to come to an end. I have been working pretty much all the time since I got home from my studies in Germany. But I will not complain, the work is pleasant and very well needed to finance our sailing adventure. Next week I will go back to my apartment in Gothenburg and then a new intense semester will start containing my bachelor thesis, but first and foremost, the countdown of our departure. Before the real semester starts, I hope to have time for some navigational studies, I would like to have a Yacht Master Diploma before we are heading out to sea.

Today we have been updating the homepage and trying to make it as user friendly as possible, trickier than expected, but we managed at last (yeah, it is 01.15 am local time) to create a layout that hopefully will last a while. /First Mate Ivansson
