…if you ever pass the Tobago Island – you should stop by Jemma’s Tree-Restaurant.
It’s unique!
You have a directly view at Bird Island, while taking the meal.
And this, i swear – is 100 percent authentic ‘creole’… loved it.
…furthermore, the island is very safe.
I rent a private driver for a whole Island trip.
The nature is completely untouched – for example englishman bay!
…Imagine: 80% of the island’s natural reserve.
Let me know, if you want know more…
Adrian, Dirk, Claudia an Fred tested our new gennaker. 110 square meter for ligth wind condtions.
Sailing, snorkeling and relaxing: that’s how our new year 2019 startet in Lanzarote. At first. Then, some had to prepare their university exam, others to repair the wind generator.
Not only sailors love the Canary Island trade winds. In the southern parts of Lanzarote, paraglider spend hours in the air. Starting, however, sometimes seems to be more difficult than flying …
From the English Channel to Brittany, crossing the Biscay to Galicia, with stop overs in Guernsey, Portugal, Morocco and to the final destination Lanzarote. Meeting with people and enjoying festivals, watching birds, dolphins and whales.
In the intertidal zone in the port of Arrecife, at low tide, we noticed this temporarily installed sculpture by Jason de Caires Taylor. ”The Rising Tide is a sculpture depicting four riders on their saddles, horses whose heads are oil drilling pumps, reflecting the great threat that hangs over the planet and especially on the seas and Oceans” (Centers for Arts, Culture and Tourism (CACT), Link)
When sailing arround the world, many sailors use the trade winds to cross the oceans. However, wind and waves from the back for days and days are tiring for the helmsman – or challenging for the autopilot that steers the ship.
50 Boats and 200 fishermen in a big game fishing contest. In two days they caught three marlins (swordfish) weighting between 50 and 100 kilograms and released the fish (catch and release). Only one Mahi Mahi (Goldmakrele) was not released – but grilled.
Entering and leaving Rabat harbor – a tidal river channel – is an experience no sailor will ever forget. Care has to be exercised when a strong swell is running at low tide as large swells may break between the breakwaters at the harbor entrance. We entered with little swell at high tide, safely following the Marina pilot boat. The channel was full with swimmers, jet skis and rowing boats. People were enthusiastically greeting us, not seeing sailing yachts very often.
The tidal river Bouregreg flows through Rabat and offers opportunities for cliff jumpers and soccers.
Rabat is the capital of Morocco, a beautiful and busy city:
