Yacht Auriga: Fernando de Noronha
http://yachtauriga.blogspot.com/2015/04/fernando-de-noronha.html
Tuesday, 14 April 2015. At the end of the last Brazillian passage, our 700 mile trip upwind from Salvador was Fernando de Noronha. There are honestly no good words to describe this place, and for Giulia and I it was the best stop on our travels to date. Let me start by describing some of our experiences snorkelling: There is a wrecked ship in the small harbour entry. Why not snorkel on it on our way to shore? At Baia dos Sanchos we joined a shoal of mackerel to watch the highlighter shaded, coral eating ...

Yacht Auriga: May 2015
http://yachtauriga.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 19 May 2015. Cruising in the Caribbean - Auriga takes a holiday! 16 days out at sea on the passage from Brazil, all we really wanted was some fresh food and ice cream. After wandering Barbados capital, Bridgetown we didnt find either. Heading back to Auriga (moored off the most touristy beach, and the biggest bar strip) what we stumbled upon turned out to be much better. At Dees with Tony. Most bars on Carlisle beach are huge commercial affairs that charge a (high! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Yacht Auriga: The Passage Back
http://yachtauriga.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-passage-back.html
Tuesday, 28 July 2015. Caribbean to the Azores via Bermuda. Bermuda also, admittedly, has. Some very pretty beaches. Yet beyond a small plaque in one museum there is little mention of it. The only exception is the sail training vessel “Spirit of Bermuda”, a beautiful wooden three-masted schooner that is striking, in such a large vessel, for bearing the local sail plan. Bermuda to Home and the Aftermath. Too well. Now North of the Azores a message came over the Iridium. 8220;Suggest heading a bit S. Would...

Yacht Auriga: Brazil to Barbados - A Passage Diary
http://yachtauriga.blogspot.com/2015/04/brazil-to-barbados-passage-diary.html
Thursday, 9 April 2015. Brazil to Barbados - A Passage Diary. Our longest passage to date - 2000 miles and 16 days a sea. I thought I would keep a diary, as a record of how the passage progressed day to day, including notes on what we ate, as fresh stores diminished over the course of the passage. Overall we had a really good passage, making good time and keeping up good spirits through out. Easterly F4 – Almost d. Ead downwind, full main and poled out jib. Lunch: Egg, tomato, carrot and tuna salad.

Yacht Auriga: About us
http://yachtauriga.blogspot.com/p/the-authors.html
MSci in Physics, PhD candidate. Yachmaster Ocean, RYA Instructor. Chilling on the Norfolk Broads. Started sailing dinghies in a landlocked city in Ukraine when I was 10. I guess my inspiration must have come from books, and I had read Bob Bond's excellent "The Handbook of Sailing" cover to cover before I even saw a sail. I like a sailing challenge, be it technical or racing, and I seem to always find one even where others see a relaxed cruising trip - or is it finding me? After having been on the CUYC co...
