Ahoj przygodo!

Few facts about what we will have to deal with:

• start of the cruise: Marina Ibiza, Ibiza, Spain.
• end of the cruise, and destination marina is: Marina San Miguel, San Miguel de Tenerife, Spain.
• planned dates: 27/10/2024 - 18/11/2024.
• distance: 1500NM - 2000NM.
• boat: Hanse 415 S/Y: "Nord Star", 12.40m x 4.17m x 2.10m, 40 Hp diesel engine, 85m2 sails.
• on the way we will visit ports: Torerevieja and Gibraltar and maybe the islands: Madeira, Gran Canaria, La Palma, La Gomera, Lanzarotte.
• crew of 6 people: Wiktor, Karol, Jacek, Robert, Radek, Marek

You will ask why I provide information like: maybe, a wide range of dates, a large difference of NM?
Well, that is the plan. 

It all depends on weather conditions: wind, currents, tides. And on... luck. Why luck? 

Because on this route that we want to cover, there is a very high probability of meeting oceanic killer whales (Orca), which very often attack sailing boats, causing serious damage, including sinking. Another lack of luck is meeting immigrants, who try to get from Africa to Europe on this route, and expect help from sailing yachts, and such help must be provided to them immediately. Both of these, let's call them "21st Century piracy cases", are highly undesirable, and can delays and changes to the planned route.

To sum up: the most important thing is the weather and luck. A strange combination.

Will we have weather? Will we be lucky? 
Both we and the readers will find out soon, thanks to this blog.

In the next entry, I will present a handful of information about the boat, the technology we will have on it, about planning and then it will be time to introduce the crew.

In the comments, please leave information whether you like this form of communication, and whether you want to know something more, or something else.
