Welcome to Anna and Martins sailing page
This page is about Anna and Martins sailing dream which is about to come true. The page will unfortunately not be translated to english in a near future since we are in serious hurry to finish the boat. There are however quite a few maps and pictures you can look at. Here is a brief guide about what you will find under the the buttons on the left side of your screen.
Om oss = "About us". Short about Anna and Martin.
Båten = "The boat". About our boat, the name and what we considered when we bought it.
Förberedelser = "Preparations". Earlier trips, education and training, boat and equipment, certificates and "paper work".
Resrutt = "Route". Where we will go and when. Maps.
Resebrev = "Traveling reports". This page is intended to be updated with stories and pictures during the trip.
Länkar = "Links"
@ = "Contact". If you want to reach us. The mail will be checked daily (almost) until we leave Sweden late June-04. Thereafter depending on access to Internet cafes.
The general idea of the trip is this (may be changed during the trip):
We plan to leave Sweden late June heading for Denmark, southern Norway and Scotland. Through the Caledonian canal (which includes Loch Ness and the legendary monster) to the Irish sea. South between UK and Ireland to France. Over the bay of Biscay to Spain and Portugal. Southwest to Madeira islands. South to the Canary islands and Cap Verde islands. Wait until the hurricane season is over in the Caribbean (early December). Big jump over the Atlantic to southern caribbean. Work our way north during a couple of month (until the hurricane season starts in June). Then we head north and east back to Europe via Bermuda and the Azores. Back again in Sweden about a year after we left.
If you are interested about how we are doing during the trip, send us a mail (under the @-button). We can also add you to our mailing list for the e-mail diary we plan to write and send when possible.
Thank you for visiting our page!
