For two weeks we\u2019ve been sailing completely alone on the North Atlantic against the elements. We\u2019re sticking to the course Christoph Columbus followed. Departure point and date (just a few hundred years later) are almost identical to Columbus’ first trip from Hispaniola to Europe. We\u2019re sailing JONATHAN across the Atlantic in such a way that it emulates the characteristics of a Spanish Carvelle from 1492. The result is astonishing. For about 100 miles our course coincides with Columbus\u2019s. We follow it to the Azores and on to Portugal.<\/p>\n
Lisbon looms in the bright evening sky, becoming larger and slowly recognizable. There\u2019s this incredible view, becoming ever clearer and sharper the closer we get \u2013 proving the city is a great spectacle. Only few ports in the world offer this impressive view \u2013 that\u2019s a real privilege. We\u2019re sailing along the Algarve and discover wonderful gems of history. An area to indulge in wine and \u201ctapas\u201d culture, a trip for lovers of culture and history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
