Description

This is the return crossing to Europe for us. In 2022 we left from the Netherlands with the Bries (a 42 ft Elvstrom yacht from Denmark) for a Trans Atlantic tour of a year. At the moment we are planning our return trip.

We plan to sail straight from St Martin to the Azores. This will enable us to wait for a good weather window while being on St Martin. The planning looks as follows:

• St Martin Departure period: between 25th April and 15th May
• St Martin preferred departure date: around 5th May (depending on the weather window)
• Expected arrival Azores/ Horta: between 16th May and 5th June

This means I’m looking for someone who is available to board at a short notice during the departure period (I will give a call when a good window is there). If such an arrangement is feasible for you, please respond to this add.

Please let me know, best regards,
