Where is
Olivier? Alicante, Spain, December 30, 2017. But why? Here's a collection of thoughts that lead to my decision to get off the boat. I wrote this because I think at least friends and family will be interested. If you know the owners of the boat and this concerns you, you should reach out to them to get their version of the facts. 15 notes Sorry to hear that it didn't work out, i know how much you were looking forward to the transatlantic crossing. But i guess when you are going to be in the middle of the ocean on a small boat for weeks, you at least want to feel as save as possible and comfortable with the people you are sailing with. Enjoy the Caribbean! Greetings from Menorca. — by Otto Thank you for the nice message! Yes, I was looking forward to the crossing, but I saw it mainly as an opportunity to gain some experience. I can get experience with other boats. By the way, I heard the owners canceled their crossing this year. They are going to try again next winter. I think that's a good call. — by Olivier Index Martinique: Jardin de Balata · Anse Caritan · Chanté Nwel Laos: Tree House · Kuang Si Falls · Luang Prabang · Mountain Trekking · Rock Climbing · Vientiane Temples · Vientiane History · Accident Ahead · Dragon Cave · Konglor Cave · Seen on Bolaven Plateau · Animist Villages · Bolaven Plateau Waterfalls · Local Market · Wat Phou Vietnam: Vietnamese Food · Mekong Delta · Rice Noodle Factory · Floating Market · Ho Chi Minh City · Cu Chi Tunnels · War Remnants · Crazy House · Da Lat And Datanla · My Son · Hoi An · Outside the Hue Citadel · Hue Citadel · Van Long Wetlands · Bai Dinh Temple Complex · Temples of Kings · Tràng An Grottoes · From Cat Ba to Ninh Binh Japan: Nishiki Market · Aokigahara Forest and Ice Cave · Jigokudani · 47 Ronin France: Jam on a boat · Three People Island Honduras: Roatán Relax Denmark: Danish Food · Helsingør · Copenhagen · Freetown Christiania · Hygge · Solo Travel Spain: Spanish Gambling · Post-disembark Plans · I Disembarked Prematurely Italy: The Voyage Spain: Naval Museum in Madrid

Unfortunately, the plans to sail together fell through, which you can read about in I Disembarked Prematurely. But despite the change of plans, Angélique did cross the atlantic on a different boat and has been travelling in South America since. Version 102 |
