The Voyages of S/V Double Bruyn. Thursday, October 30, 2008. Waiting, Walking and Talking. For example Mum nearly missed the Eurostar to France as, while stolling through Westminster Abbey had a conversation with the priest and ended up joining him for breakfast ;-). Heres the pics…. Mum with Linda and Sophie. Will they ever grow up! Mum and Dad in Delft, NL. The Bruyn brothers sailing with the oldman. Joke and Graham's place in Rimont. Jon van der Horst Bruyn.

The Voyages of S/V Double Bruyn: March 2010

The Voyages of S/V Double Bruyn. Thursday, March 4, 2010. Mindelo was a welcome port that catered perfectly for 4 boys after over a week at sea. The town is vibrant, people friendly, food good, sun hot and beer cold. Having heard mixed reports about the place we had little idea on what to expect, however were pleasantly surprised on all accounts. We tried to imagine the equivalent scenario in the developed world. Four black guys who haven’t washed in a month come off a boat into a small school ...Carryin...

The Voyages of S/V Double Bruyn: July 2008
http://doublebruyn.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
The Voyages of S/V Double Bruyn. Friday, July 25, 2008. Now for the fun stuff. A spontaneous suggestion from a work mate sparked the idea of bringing our sailing trip forward, and with keen approval from my bosses and cabin boys we set about making it happen. We plan to set sail on Thursday 31st and am hoping to get to Falmouth 11-14 days later. Then will head straight to Brighton and celebrate in the usual way. Right on, more to come before we sail /).

The Voyages of S/V Double Bruyn: Our own little worlds
http://doublebruyn.blogspot.com/2010/04/our-own-little-worlds.html
The Voyages of S/V Double Bruyn. Thursday, April 29, 2010. Our own little worlds. What about sailing back to the Caribbean? I can’t remember if it was Dan or Richie who suggested it but it was an idea I’d almost completely written off. For the last year or two I’d been set on exploring Brazil and South America and was well positioned to do so from the Cape Verde’s. But…. I do love being spontaneous and missed my mate Jas, who was sitting on his boat in Antigua. What was immediately obvious about the isla...

The Voyages of S/V Double Bruyn: December 2009
http://doublebruyn.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
The Voyages of S/V Double Bruyn. Tuesday, December 22, 2009. After over 2 and a half years of working in the UK i'm retiring to head off sailing again in the DB. So my time building sub-stations in the South East of England has come to an end (for now at least), the irony obvious leaving a company called 'Freedom'! It's been alot of fun and good learning curve, i really thoroughly enjoyed my job and certainly made alot of great friends over my time here. Don't get much of that in the tropic's luckily.

The Voyages of S/V Double Bruyn: June 2008
http://doublebruyn.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
The Voyages of S/V Double Bruyn. Thursday, June 19, 2008. Turkey - June 2008. The sailing was good, and with a fairly rough 12hour sail back in 30knots on the nose I think everybody got a taste of what it can be like. Full credit to everyone though as despite no sleep and lots of sea-sickness on the final night I never heard a single complaint (except for maybe Smarty about the temperature of the beer). The highlights for me would have to be:. 1 Herby’s limitless energy and constant general rifraf. Riga ...

The Voyages of S/V Double Bruyn. Tuesday, December 23, 2008. Nevermind the rest of us went and had a ball. If we forget the lessons of history we’re doomed to repeat. The following day we went to Europe’s biggest salt mine (although now is only used for tourism). Pretty cool going 300m underground and seeing all the contraptions the ages used to move salt out of the mine. You can go to mass on Sunday’s in the chapel (150m below the surface), or even get married down! All in all the trip was a total succe...

The Voyages of S/V Double Bruyn: August 2008
http://doublebruyn.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
The Voyages of S/V Double Bruyn. Friday, August 15, 2008. Over the 10 day passage I think I could bullet point the high / low lights:. 1 Smarty losing the bucket… It was the original head on the DB so it took me some time to get over the loss. 2 While asleep on my bunk a case of beer fell off the shelf and landed on my head leaving me with a big bump. ‘How ironic’ the boys laughed, and the jokes of beer killing Jon carried on for a few days. 9 1400 miles in 10 days! An average boat speed of nearly 6 knot...
