The third and final installment of our 2019 journey across the Atlantic to Europe.
Due to the shorter distance in the North and the favorable winds we did not only have a good time crossing the ocean but also had sufficient time to take in some of the Irish history and culture.
Of course, Fastnet Rock was a special place to sail to. Kinsale turned out to be a very good choice for a stop-over (a picturesque town with a sheltered and modern marina, good food & stores and typical Irish nightlive.

Video – Halifax to St John’s
Another great adventure in the North. We were lucky as the weather was very nice and the fog manageable.
With Lisa and Steve we had two very eager novices on board who handled their tasks very well.
The drone shots of Tioga under spinnaker generated quite some adrenalin, but were well worth the risk.
Good-bye, St John’s
After two weeks in the St John’s area, we are finally moving on and will now cross the Atlantic ocean to Ireland.
We were impressed!
Extremely friendly people (with an interesting accent 😉 )
Superb landscapes
Warmer weather than expected and lots of sunshine
An interesting city, with a uniquely situated harbor, a thriving pub scene, historically relevant Telegraph Hill, the eastern-most point of continental North-America and lots of colorful houses
Plenty of whales
– but no icebergs
Off to Ireland
Let the games begin.

Just so that the new can find their way to the boat… (they are all arriving in the middle of the night).
