Hello everyone,

Because of the headwind or the without wind, the departure from Cádiz to Barcelona its delayed for second time! We need that “poniente” wind that will allow us to cross the Strait of Gibraltar!

The day of departure, we don't know it yet, we're on standby... It seems that on the 6th September, the wind changes, we're going to see if the forecasts are good!

If you're interested in doing this trip, don't hésitate in calling me or sending me a whatsapp : “+34 617 93 28 31 - (RICARD)”. Because, with those changes some people can't come anymore, but i believe other people will can! So we can talk about it!
See you soon!

500 “Likes”! Thank you!

Today, I write this post to tell you that there's still some beds to go from Cádiz to Barcelona.
For the moment, we don't have a date of departure, we're on the Bahía de Cádiz, protected from the wind! We're not in a hurry, but as soon as the boat gets filled, we will head towards Barcelona.

Here's the updated announcement: https://www.facebook.com/LydieSails/posts/2798505423510669?__tn__=-R-R

If you're interested in this trip, you can call me or send me a Whatsapp message to: +34 617 93 28 31 – Ricard.

Hello everyone! Today, Sunday at 12:05 (local hour) we arrived at Bahía de Cádiz. It has been a 18 day trip between the Flores Island (Açores) and Cádiz. We have done 1246 nautical miles, with an average of 70 miles per day, it's a low number but we had some days without wind! Here, Genís, Élise and Arkaitz will leave the boat and the new crew for the Cádiz – Barcelona trip will arrive in the next days! See you soon!

UPDATE 29/08/2019
SEEKING CREW: - CÁDIZ – BARCELONA -

Hi, my name is Ricard and I've been living on my boat for 15 years. I'm arriving at Cádiz, where after a long travel from Cartagena de Indias (Colombia), all the crew will land and I will be alone for the trip between Cádiz and Barcelona.

I'm putting this announcement because I'd like to have a small crew. The boat's name is Lydie, it's a "Ketch" (2 masts) from 1972, measuring 15mts Length overall, the construction material is Ferrocement and it weights 24 tons.

The trip:

- Departure from Cádiz (approx.) somewhat next to September 6, it will depend from the weather.
- Arrival in Barcelona (approx.) after 7-10 days (September 13 - 16).

That's 600 miles in total from CADIZ to BARCELONA. It will be at least 7 sailing days.

The boat counts 10 beds, but I'd prefer to have a crew of 6 members maximum, counting myself in, so for now there are 5 open slots.

As for the economics, we will share expenses: It will be 15€ each day for each person, that will be: Food, diesel, gaz for cooking, docking, etc.

For the communication, I speak Catalan and Spanish as a first languages and French and English with a basic level but enough!

For more information contact me!

Some info's about the boat:

As for the technological ambit's: The instrumentalisation that I have it's: Manual coordinate GPS + Computer with antenna GPS and 2 sailing software (one which is Open CPN) + Sailing compass + Radio VHF + Garmin Inreach (Tracking, emgergency button and satellite SMS).

As for the sails, I have a spare of each sail just in case, the sails aren't "roll up" kind, they work with carbines and tackles, there's not a Roller Furling (That means the Genoa can be changed 4 times depending of the wind). The Mainsails can be reefed three times.

Well, we're heading out from Flores (Azores) direction to Cádiz (Spain)! Now it's been a day that we're navigating in the island chain and we have done something like 90 nautical miles heading east.
Vincent went home with a plane in the Azores, so now, on the boat we're: Ricard, Élise, Genís and Arkaitz.
In Cádiz, Élise, Genís and Arkaitz will stay there so I will be alone from Cádiz to Barcelona, if someone wants to sail with me from Cádiz to Barcelona, please send a message to this page or to “[email protected]”. My colombian whatsapp doesn't work anymore!
During the next days I will do a post with the recap of our trip between Santiago de Cuba and Flores (Açores)!
Kind regards everyone!

Hi everyone! Last Sunday (14 July) at 13h30 (local time) we arrived at the Flores Island in the Azores after sailing on the open sea for 34 days! We're really happy! It has been a really good trip and it has been done 100% with the sails, no motor involved! We're staying in the Azores until Monday 22th July. Kind regards! - NOTE: The Colombian phone of Ricard isn't working anymore, not for text messages, nor calls nor Whatsapp messages, if you want to contact him, do it please in this page or in his mail: “[email protected]”, thanks! -
