in the USVI

We sailed from St. Barts to St. Thomas in 15 hours, trying hard to slow Keyif down so as to enter Charlotte Amalie in daylight. Finally, we were down to third reef on the mainsail, furled the genoa, almost put the engine on reverse in 10 knots of wind!!! The good boat Keyif is fast like her master. Our dear professor, Dr. Mike Sussman from Portland, OR, flew to spend his birthday with us in the USVI. The weather, the sushi, the anchorages and snorkelling were all perfect for us, we had a marvellous three days together.

Karayiplerdeki ilk adalarimiz

Karayiplerdeki ilk adamız St. Marteen biraz turistik, ama eğlenceli ve çok güzeldi. Bu adada yarı tatlı sulu kocaman bir lagün var, adayı Hollanda ve Fransa taraflarına ayıran sınır lagünü de ikiye bölüyor, lagünün bir kısmı Holanda'ya, diğer kısmı Fransa'ya ait. Her iki tarafın [...]

Atlantik Geçişi

İlk ve şimdilik tek Afrika limanımız olan Cabo Verde adalarından Sal'den 1 aralık cumartesi sabahı iki başımıza ayrıldık. P1000804.JPG Biz demir alırken başlayan, 20-25 knot esen hava dört gün boyunca devam etti, Atlantik'e çıktığımızdan beri ilk kez karşılaştığımız kaba [...]

Crossing the Atlantic

We left our first and only African harbor Sal Island on December 1st, 2012 and started sailing west. The weather was cloudy and cool, wind 20-25 knots from the northeast with gusts of 28 knots. The seas were confused and the boat was rolling much more than in our previous crossings. It became an adventure [...]
