This map shows the all the passages taken during 2012. We started the year in the Caribbean having made the passage from Europe with the ARC. After Christmas at home, we returned the boat in St. Martin to begin our winter sailing season. It was wonderful to sailing in wonderful weather for months traveling between islands and enjoying the differences between each one. The food, the...

This map shows the accumulation of all the passages made by the Hallberg-Rassy 54 sailing yacht, Feelin' Good, from the time she was launched in July 2011 right up through her final passage in July 2012. Her travels have taken her from Sweden through the Kiel Canal in Germany, along the coast of Holland and Belgium and through the English Channel to the Bay of Biscay. From there, she...

Knowing we wanted to move into a larger boat with more room for guests and crew, I listed our beloved HR-54, Feelin' Good for sale while we were still over in the Caribbean. I wanted to get a jump start on the spring/summer selling season as I thought the market might be a little tough for selling boats. As it turns out, I found a buyer fairly quickly (he was already a HR-54 fan and...

Aboard the Hallberg-Rassy 54 Feelin' Good, four friends face the Atlantic for the return journey from the Caribbean to the Azores and then on to the Mediterranean. A wonderful 3'400 nm journey over three weeks starting in Falmouth Harbour, Antigua stopping in Horta, Azores and continuing onto Estepona, Spain. The video shows how well the HR-54 sails and how capable it is to cross...

These photos were taken on the transatlantic return to Europe from the Caribbean by Feelin' Good in May of 2012. The journey was broken up into two passages. The first was from Antigua to the Azores and took 15 days and 2433 nm. After a few days of rest, we continued from the Azores into southern Spain passing through the Strait of Gibraltar. This passage took 6 days and was 1,146 nm...

We had such a good time looking at all the beautiful classic yachts during the Antigua Sailing Week and the Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta. This regatta began back in the 60's when charter captains challenged each other to a race at the end of the charter season before they headed back across the Atlantic to Europe. It's grown into a wonderful event that usually sees 50-60 yachts...

Hallberg-Rassy (HR-54) Feelin' Good cruising the Caribbean over the winter of 2012. This passage was from Nevis (St. Kitt's and Nevis) to Statia ( St. Eustatius) with cool underwater footage under sail (thanks Sean)! More videos to come as we learn how to use the GoPro Hero camera system.

This map shows the all the passages taken during 2011. During this year, we sailing aboard a Hallberg-Rassy 54 and enjoyed every minute of it. We started in July in Sweden and finished out the year with our arrival, as part of the ARC-2011, in St. Lucia in the Caribbean. We sailed with a lot of different sailors and learned a tremendous amount about sailing from each of them.
