Our plan is to sail around the world. We will take it easy and therefore the journey will take us more than 6 years. We figured that visiting 75 countries in 75 months by sailing boat would make a grand and exhilarating plan. Anchors awaigh in June 2016!
The route planning for this cruise has started so many years ago that I have lost the count. So, it is a result of careful planning and with as few compromises as possible. The plan is to circumnavigate the globe and follow historical navigation routes including some detours to most magical places on earth. We will sail around South America and Africa and therefore will not use man made canals (Panama and Suez) that today provide tromendous help to maritime industry by offering short cuts between oceans. We will do it the old way and it will take some time...
This is a plan. We all know that good planning helps dreams come alive. It´s no guarantee though. But, if you do your planning well, you will be able to make better decisions when you have no clue what to do or where to go. Planning pays off, but plan is only a plan. In real life things go differently anyway.
