Sailing from Cascais to Baiona with Karina and Konstantin. Visit to Porto.
Non-stop passage with Andreas from Marina Rubicon on Lanzarote to Cascais, Portugal.
Karina, Konstantin and I sailed from Lanazarote to Madeira. On our way back, with permission of the Government of Madeira, we visited the rocky island Selvagem Grande, a nature reserve.
In February, we left Lanzarote and sailed to Mindelo on the Cape Verde Islands to enjoy the colorful carnival festivities. 30 days later, we were back in Marina Rubicon. On our passages, we had many dolphin encounters. Twice we have been surrounded by hundereds of dolphins for several hours. Wonderful and fascinating!

We are all back at home. Martin’s injury from the hiking accident in April turned out to be really heavy and he had to undergo a surgery to “repair” his leg. No more sailing until September or October.
In the meantime, there will be some upgrade work on the yacht done by Alubat and the shipyard of Marina Rubicon.
Unfortunately, Martin suffered a hiking accident with some injuries. This impacted our sailing plans in April. But finally, we did a trip to Santa Cruz de Tenerife and back to Rubicon.
Crossing the Bay of Biskay to La Coruña, sailing around Cape Finistere, down South with stops in Vigo, Viana do Castelo, Cascais, and Portimao. From there, we sailed to Lanzarote and arrived in Marina Rubicon. All in all, we have needed 17 days for the trip from France to Lanzarote.
First sea trial. In the following two weeks, sailing tests, shake-down sailing and familiarization in the bay of Les Sables-d’Olonne including beaching at Ile de Re.
