Saga47swan sailing is currently exploring the remote Jardines de la Reina , 200 nm of reefs and tropical islands. We are all alone, have not seen anyone for the past 7 days - lots of reefs packed with fish and huge lobsters . Skipper Chris finally managed to caught one - it was so big it nearly ran off with him ;)

Caribbean Sea passage from Martinique to Jamaica 🇯🇲 Fish on - Black fin tuna , very tasty meat and the head made a superb fish soup 🍲

Martinique to Jamaica offshore passage - 6 days - 900 nm trade wind sailing

In Jan 2027 We will to cast off for our next big adventure — a passage from the sparkling waters of the Caribbean Sea to the vibrant shores of Brazil. This passage is not the easy trade wind passage south. We will be setting out from the Caribbean Sea toward Brazil on a demanding and relatively uncommon track — pushing against the equatorial current and sailing much of the way on a close reach. It’s a technical challenge requiring careful weather routing, constant sail trim, and patience with the conditions. The traditional and far more favorable approach to Brazil typically begins from the Canary Islands or Cape Verde, where the winds and currents carry you across the Atlantic to South Americal. But our journey took a different path. As we want to explore Cuba, Panama, and Colombia, we’ve deliberately put ourselves in a tougher position — choosing experience and discovery over convenience. For this passage the focus is on strategy, endurance, and seamanship as we work our way through the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. A challenging route, an uncommon passage, and a true test of boat and crew. We’ll share the miles as they unfold. ❤️ Help us share our passion for the Ocean 🌊 ⛵️ "Enjoying our content?👉 Please hit that Subscribe button! 👈 It’s totally free for you and makes a big difference in helping us grow and reach more people through the YouTube algorithm.
