Star Clipper - Transat - 7 November 2015

Hi

Just wondering if anyone else reading this will be joining us for the trip. This will be our 3rd in last four years.

Happy to try to answer queries based on our experience but the response may not be prompt as Hilda & I are currently cruising in the Caribbean in our own small boat. WIFI can be difficult! We see SC from time to time in various locations and she of course looks great.

I guess this is the same trip we are on. We're starting 10/31 from Malaga, sailing to St. Maarten. Are you boarding at Las Palmas? That's on our itinerary for 11/7.

 

We've sailed the Star Clipper and Star Flyer from Athens to India, and from Tahiti to Panama. We started with a short Caribbean trip on 2009.

 

Hope to see you on board. We're Ed and Sue...

Hi,

I posted a new thread to pick up people starting in Malaga...

Hi Ed and Sue

 

Good to hear you will be on the trip. You should have an interesting cruise from Malaga and we will see you in Gran Canaria.

My sister and another good lady friend will be with us too plus, coincidentally, another couple who we know from our small village in UK. Also there will be other friends from the last time we did the voyage two years ago (by then) who encouraged us to do it with them a third time! It did not take much persuasion.

It was very multinational last time, plenty like us with a sailing background; a biggish group from Sweden, then others from USA, Canada, Germany and France. The multi language announcements get a bit tiresome but we can live with that.

It is unlikely that we will stop for a mid ocean swim (as we did before, to our amazement) but we can dream.

So, see you in a few months ....

Simon & Hilda
