BLUE BERYL SAILING
LOGBOOK & PRESS
What newspapers and sailing magazines wrote about us: in the middle of the ocean, just arrived at Hiva Oa and a year and a half later, when we dared again.
ZEILEN · OCTOBER 2022 · TEXT BY YVETTE
Yvette wrote it down herself for the magazine Zeilen: from the racket on deck in the early morning of day 8 to the weeks on the jury rig towards the Marquesas. The most personal account of what happened.
LEEUWARDER COURANT · 19 JANUARY 2024
A year and a half after the dismasting: about the self-built temporary mast on Hiva Oa, the new mast from Lemmer that went to Tahiti by cargo ship, and why we dare again.

Safely ashore on Hiva Oa we tell how we drifted across the ocean on the jury rig for more than three weeks, and what that did to us.
LEEUWARDER COURANT · 19 MAY 2022
Just arrived in the Marquesas, we look back on the weeks on the jury rig.

Written while we were still under way on the jury rig, with Sander's father Rob as our contact ashore.

Written while we were still on the jury rig: 1,000 nautical miles behind us, 2,300 still to go, in a boat that rolled back and forth like a buoy.
YACHT · 22 JULY 2022
The German sailing magazine Yacht interviewed us about the dismasting, the jury rig with which we reached Hiva Oa in 24 days and the search for a new mast.
ZEILEN.NL · 26 APRIL 2022
Four days after the dismasting, via satellite: a spinnaker pole as a mast and a very long way still to go.
