We report on what happened after the crossing, ask you what would be exciting for you in future podcasts and invite you to sail along with us.

"Land in sight!" shouted Katja at 9.30am today, about 30 miles from our destination. We have arrived in St Charles in Barbados! Our relief is clear to see.

We hurry towards our destination. We expect to arrive in Barbados tomorrow. In today's podcast, the four of us talk about whether our expectations were met and what else happened.

Hangover the day after karaoke night, volcano cake with Kaldera, communication and energy management on deck of the biosphera, are some of the topics we will address today. Thank you very much for your comments. Trying to capture the waves on video. It's not that easy.

We report live from our different moods on the high seas. Have fun!

Ahoy lovelies, this day was full of manoeuvres, emotions, crew cohesion and funny moments. Have fun! Colours and moods of the Atlantic washing machine programme - biosphera

At 10:30 on 15 January 2026, we weigh anchor and set sail for the Caribbean. What an adventure! Yuhuu, we have started! The last time before the planned departure is a bit tense and it feels good to be on our way now. Our crew is in a good mood. Steward left three

In the last blog I promised to write about the "here and now", but today I'm not sure if I can manage that. In Kenya, the white people from Europe are called "Muzungus", which means "wanderers" in Swahili. It's actually a nice term and expresses a lot of the restlessness that I often feel too.
