Message from Heinz: We are now in the not-to-avoid-storm ..! Regardless of how we counted, we would end up in a (strong) storm with this crossing over the Drake Passage to Ushuaia. The Anne-Margaretha is built on this! We have a storm jib and the 3x reefed mizze as support sail she then lies like […]

Enterprise Island After a rather rough Drake Passage we arrived Monday at Deception Island. Some “stout” guests and crew were swimming in the vulcanic Pendulum Cove..! Thursday we’ve arrived at Enterprise Island. Follow the ship: Since we make/made 3 trips to Antarctica with about the same route, the co-ordinates (points) are about the same, so […]

The Drake, You have to go over it, whether you want it or not … Some are partly staying in bed and think of … everything. Others will watch a movie if there are no albatrosses or other animal to see. Beautiful are the moments that you can steer: you with your little boat on […]

Sea elephants in Yankee Harbor! After Deception Island, where we visited the Argentine base, visited Whalers Bay and nobody (!) went into the warm water at Pedulum Cove ..

21-01-2018 Antarctica 2nd trip After (a bit) a false start and a not too unfriendly Drake Passage we arrived at the South Shetlands! Yesterday was a great day: the first icebergs and a group of orcas who discovered the Anne-Margaretha ..! All (for some) seasickness was gone, the cameras were working overtime and everyone was […]

We’ve only been in Antarctica a few days but already we’ve packed in so much. Arriving in Antarctica you could see people’s spirits visibly lifting after surviving Drake’s Passage. The atmosphere was just full of excitement rising. I was just glad to make it there in time for Christmas, that the weather had been kind […]

And off we go! Since yesterday the Anne-Margaretha is again on her way to the far south! (There was a problem with the reverse gear and one of the crew mates went up and down to the Netherlands to pick up the right parts… Heinz placed back everything and we can continue the journey). Punta […]

30-10-2017 Reflections from the Atlantic They say you cant cross an ocean unchanged. But I don’t feel particularly different. Perhaps like having a birthday you don’t feel any change on day to the next but they represent a gradual change. If so I hope it does change me, change the way I live. For me […]
