Heading for America

Two months ago the squarerigger was pushing her way through ice on the Baltic Sea, displacing and grinding the white frozen surface on her way to open waters to set course to America. A race-speed crossing of the waters of the Bay of Biscay - famous for high seas and foul weather - followed. Thanks to statistically highly improbable but favorable winds, the ROALD AMUNDSEN's crews found themselves with ample time before setting the course to crossing the Atlantic under billowing sails on the classic southern tradewinds route. These days the crew is sharing the wide ocean surface of the initial doldrums with no one else except flying fish, wales, dolphins and star-studded skies whilst searching for the trade winds.

A true Bluewater Experience.
