A MINI adventure 3,600 miles across the Atlantic Ocean

Lagos - Lanzarote - Antigua

On the 28th of December the race starts in Lagos Portugal. The boat is allready there, only the last preparations have to be done.

From Lagos, a qualifier will be sailed to Lanzarote over a distance of approx 600 nm. This will be 6 days sailing, hopefully with a nice wind. In Lanzarote there will be a week to do the final checks and repairs. The last shopping to be done so all food, vegetables and drinks are on board! On the 25th of November the big journey starts. 3,000 miles to Antigua in the Carieb.

The qualifier from Lagos to Lanzarote is only 6 to 7 days of sailing. The real transat from Lanzarote to Antiqua is approx 30 to 35 days of sailing. All alone and without any contact to the family at home...
