Welcome

The travel blog for s/y ultra mare and its maiden voyage kicks off from here...

The schedule of the transfer sailing from Bay of Biscay to Gulf of Finland, is planned as follows:

18.-19.04.2013     Commissioning, sea trial and handover (Les Sables d'Olonne, France)

20.-29.04.2013     Leg #1  (Intention is to pass Kiel Canal "Nord-Ostsee-Kanal"

Pause                 Temporary mooring & crew change

18.-26.05.2013     Leg #2  (Intention is to continue towards Gulf of Finland and reach Helsinki)

Our position at any given time (after VHF-DSC/AIS is activated at the commissioning) can be found and latest track followed at http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/ by typing the yacht name "ultra mare" into "Go to Vessel..." search.

We trust that Poseidon, Neptune, Oceanus, Enki, Proteus, Hapy, Venelia, Lir, Llyr, and Ahti too will honor the voyages of the s/y ultra mare, and accept to keep liopleurodons out of the sight.
