This map shows the all the passages taken during 2014. In January we were in the Caribbean (having crossed from Europe in November 2013) and enjoyed the lovely tropical weather until the middle of April 2014 when we crossed back over to spend the summer sailing the Mediterranean. Then, like migrating birds, we crossed back to the Caribbean starting in December of 2014 as the beginning...

This map shows the all the passages taken during 2013. We started mid-year in Cape Town, South Africa and sailed all the way to Genova, Italy then reversed the route back to the Canaries and crossed the Atlantic again ending the year in the Caribbean. A lot of sailing but still more on track for 2014!

Aboard the SWS 82' Feelin' Good, Art, Giamma, Dan, Richie, Carmen, Tracy and Gustavo crossed the Atlantic from the Canaries to Grenada taking 13.8 days and averaging close to 10 kts for the entire time. Lots of high winds and heavy seas to deal with as well as mixing it up (always at night!) with numerous squalls as well. A much different crossing than the one made several years back...

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...

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...

After our long journey from the Caribbean you'd think we'd want to rest up for a week or so before starting our passage back to mainland Europe. However, we have decided to forgo the Azore vacation and get going on our final leg. It's almost 1'000 nm from here, through the Strait of Gibraltar and on to Spain. That sounds like a lot even as I'm writing this but after reaching the...
