sailing

Sailing around the world!

Wij zijn drie jongens met een droom! Zeilen rond de wereld. We zeilen alle drie al ons hele leven. Vroeger zeilde we wedstrijden in kleine open bootjes. Naar mate we ouder werden zijn we steeds op grotere boten gaan zeilen. In 2018 zijn we naar Denemarken gezeild en daar hebben we de smaak te pakken gekregen van het zeilen op zee. De droom om voor langere tijd te gaan zeilen is tijdens deze vakantie ontstaan. Begin januari hebben we de knoop doorgehakt en hebben we besloten om te gaan reizen.

Begin 2021 zijn we actief gaan zoeken naar een schip. Uiteindelijk hebben we in mei ons geschikte schip gevonden een Doug Peterson 51. We vertrekken 1 juni voor onze zeilreis. De komende maanden staan in het teken van het klaar maken van ons schip. Ook gaan wij ons zelf voorbereiden voor onze reis. Onze reis is te volgen via onze website of via onze social media kanalen.


De Reis

Onze reis start op 1 juni 2022. Het plan is om een afscheidsfeest te geven in Grou en om dan via Terschelling Nederland te verlaten.

Langzaam gaan wij afzakken naar Portugal om via daar naar de Canarische eilanden te varen. Daar zullen wij een paar weken blijven om vervolgens naar de Kaapverdische eilanden te varen.

Vanaf de Kaapverdische eilanden zullen wij de Atlantische oceaan oversteken naar het Caribisch gebied.

In het Caribisch gebied zullen wij een paar maanden blijven om vanaf daar te kijken hoe de reis er verder uit komt te zien.


Het Schip

We gaan vertrekken met een Doug Peterson 51, een one-off-zeilschip. Het schip is gebouwd in Engeland bij de werf Green Marine.

Het schip is gebouwd van kevlar composiet. Hierdoor is hij erg licht van gewicht en ook nog eens heel sterk.

Kortom het is een echte zeiler en dat is iets wat goed bij ons past. Al vanaf de eerste bezichtig waren we alle drie verliefd op de boot.

We hebben de boot Satisfaction genoemd omdat die naam goed past bij onze reisplannen en omdat het natuurlijk een lekker nummer is van de Rolling Stones.


Over Ons

Wij zijn Job Modderman, Nick Zondervan en Dennis Meter. Drie goede vrienden die elkaar vooral kennen uit de wedstrijdzeilerij. Eerst voeren we voornamelijk wedstrijden tegen elkaar in nationale eenheidsklassen. De laatste seizoenen vormen we steeds regelmatiger een samen team op grotere wedstrijdschepen.

We hebben inmiddels al aardig wat mijlen samen afgelegd en kunnen ten alle tijden 100% op elkaar vertrouwen, iets wat tijdens het zeezeilen natuurlijk enorm belangrijk is.

  • We had a brief holiday in The Netherlands! 🇳🇱 

Yes, in March while it’s still cold but we had some nice weather. The most important and amazing part of our trip was spending quality time with loved ones. Until next time… 🤍
  • With an overall 3rd place in our class at the Heineken Regatta, we can truly say we had serious fun. We took the racing quite seriously even though we were in the “Island Time” class ( let’s just say we did “island time” the European Dutch way 🤪).

Thank you to all that extended their support and congratulations. My greatest gratitude to the crew for high spirits, amazing teamwork, and dedication.  We had a blast!

  • What a wonderful thing it is to find just what you need at your marina!
_____

On the way to Antigua from Deshaies, Guadeloupe one of our solar panels got a smashing hello from a wave. It still worked but we had no idea how long for. Imagine our joy when we checked into @islandwaterworld ‘s marina in Cole Bay, Sint Maarten and found out we could buy a new one right from them. Saved us time and the hassle of having to order one.  Now we have a brand spanking new solar panel and don’t have to look at an aesthetically unappealing solar panel and of course - we are spared the headache of what happens when the broken one would stop working. 

_____

What boat necessities do you have that’s on the edge of its life? Do you have to order yours?

  • I’ve talked about the St. Maarten Heineken Regatta so much can’t believe we’ve already completed a full day. Day one felt so surreal! 

Can’t wait to share with you some of our experience! 😆

  • Would you be panicked if one of these floating cities was on the same path as you? Don’t be. Just do this:

Check your AIS 
If you expect a collision radio in to the ship 
If you don’t expect a collision - do nothing

You should expect that they alter their direction to go behind you if your sails are up

Seeing these boats up close can be a bit intimidating and impressive - especially since they move so quickly. 

‼️ don’t forget to also always have someone on watch to mitigate surprises while sailing even during the day

  • Here’s the thing about living on a boat full time, it’s AMAZING but you’re going to need to spend a lot of time fixing things yourself. You will need the patience for it and a very solution-oriented mindset. A lot breaks down because your boat is in constant use. That’s just a reality of this lifestyle however it keeps things interesting 😁

_____

If you’re thinking of taking the leap just know: you will develop and hone so many skills in this lifestyle you won’t even recall who you were before.

Antigua ➡️ Saint Barth’s 

What a long but beautiful sail!

  • Le Tombolo is a must-see in Martinique, however it’s not possible year round which makes this “miracle of nature” all that more interesting.

 Îlet de Sainte-Marie is accessible from the coastline of Sainte-Marie via the tombolo during November/December through April. (Growing up Catholic in the Caribbean Le Tombolo is more fascinating as Lent occurs in that period 😳😳). The tombolo is affected by the seasons and trade winds so when the trade winds reduce in force and change orientation, it gradually erodes. 

On your planned visit to Martinique, you would have to check with the tourism office (or in our case, local contacts in Sainte-Marie) to see if it’s possible.

🤔🤔 what is a tombolo anyway? Well, it’s an Italian word which describes a broad band of sand created by ocean currents connecting an island to mainland for example: Îlet de Sainte-Marie to Sainte-Marie, Martinique. 

Have you been? Did you know that the French have another tombolo? 🫠 Are there any must-see magical places in the Caribbean that you’re dying to see/share?

  • With so much to see and do in Guadeloupe, a week was not enough! 

For most of that week we were at Terre de Haut, part of the small islands that form Les Saintes. There we had the true small island holiday feeling. After 4 days of beautiful weather, a small storm formed forcing us out of our quiet little anchorage as the storm was accompanied by huge swells. We then managed our way to Pigeon Island for a night where, upon departure, the anchor winch gave way completely. (We’re just as tired of talking about it as you are of hearing it again, trust us 😩). So, we found ourselves on mooring in Deshaies for two nights where on the first morning we were able to save a neighbour’s boat from drifting away as one of their mooring lines snapped while they were on shore! 😳

We are slowly yet mindfully making our way to Sint Maarten for the Heineken Regatta.

Le Tombolo is a must-see in Martinique, however it’s not possible year round which makes this “miracle of nature” all that more interesting. Îlet de Sainte-Marie is accessible from the coastline of Sainte-Marie via the tombolo during November/December through April. (Growing up Catholic in the Caribbean Le Tombolo is more fascinating as Lent occurs in that period 😳😳). The tombolo is affected by the seasons and trade winds so when the trade winds reduce in force and change orientation, it gradually erodes. On your planned visit to Martinique, you would have to check with the tourism office (or in our case, local contacts in Sainte-Marie) to see if it’s possible. 🤔🤔 what is a tombolo anyway? Well, it’s an Italian word which describes a broad band of sand created by ocean currents connecting an island to mainland for example: Îlet de Sainte-Marie to Sainte-Marie, Martinique. Have you been? Did you know that the French have another tombolo? 🫠 Are there any must-see magical places in the Caribbean that you’re dying to see/share? #travel #traveltips #mustsee #martinique #tombolo #martiniquesailing #explore #sailingsatisfaction #caribbeanlife #caribbean

With so much to see and do in Guadeloupe, a week was not enough! 

For most of that week we were at Terre de Haut, part of the small islands that form Les Saintes. There we had the true small island holiday feeling. After 4 days of beautiful weather, a small storm formed forcing us out of our quiet little anchorage as the storm was accompanied by huge swells. We then managed our way to Pigeon Island for a night where, upon departure, the anchor winch gave way completely. (We’re just as tired of talking about it as you are of hearing it again, trust us 😩). So, we found ourselves on mooring in Deshaies for two nights where on the first morning we were able to save a neighbour’s boat from drifting away as one of their mooring lines snapped while they were on shore! 😳

We are slowly yet mindfully making our way to Sint Maarten for the Heineken Regatta.
