Trans-Ocean e.V. – Page 6

☝️…dinner for 7…👌

On November 26, 2021

Black Friday and we had another start into the weekend meeting on SY Hexe for a TO gathering. I had the honour and pleasure to play chef in the kitchen of an Outremer 5X, according to its skipper Volker the one and only performance catamaran without any alternatives on the market – not only in terms of space in the pantry, or better kitchen area. The Paella was later-on complemented by a delicious chocolate mousse lovely decorated in a maritime style by Corinna from SY Geronimo. Another very nice evening of TO members brought together sharing their individual true fairy tales as live-aboards in a very amicable and relaxed atmosphere. Thanks to all!

🤿…Snorkelling @ Playa Chica…🤿

Together with Rainer – skipper of SY Geronimo & TO member – we went to Playa Chica at Puerto del Carmen today for some snorkelling. Although the water temperature is around 21ºC, we preferred to take the shorties to stay longer in the water. We have been told by Volker from SY Hexe, that this is one of the best snorkelling grounds here on Lanzarote. Indeed, we were impressed by a friendly welcome from different species of colourful fish. A good training for my upcoming diving course mid December. I am tempted to go again…

🚴‍♂️…Rubicon again…🚴‍♂️

In B(H)iking, Spain, Trans-Ocean e.V.

Different reasons took me back to Marina Rubicon again today. Firstly, I wanted to check in the chandlery store, what engine oil they have as I am planning an oil change on the engine – no luck. Secondly, I wanted to say “Ahoy” to Petra and Jan from SY Sutje. After a relaxed cup of tea, we turned the boat to be ready for the next voyage. Finally, I had to crack the climb from South to North at Femés. Last time I failed, had to dismantle the bike twice to get over it but this time I fought it through to the top, also cheered up by the paint brush on its way. Fair winds…

Second time I was invited to join a get-together on SY Hexe – Cornelia and Volker‘s way to start the weekend. Their hospitality and support is so generous, leaving memorable evenings with good discussions, exchange, laughter and new friendships before falling asleep. Thank you!

Yesterday, we did welcome Steffi and Rolf arriving in Póvoa de Varzim on their SY Piccolina – a very well maintained HR42E. They both completed a non-stop trip from Azores and are Trans-Ocean & Intermar members. An interesting couple and journey, which you can read more about on their website under this link.

⚓️ Baiona – Columbus landfall

After leaving Cies Islands earlier today we have dropped the anchor at Baiona, just 10 nautical miles further South. This will be most likely my last stop in Galicia. I will move into the Monte Real Club de Yates Marina tomorrow for two nights and heard that there is a festival over the weekend in town…🧐
