Trinidad to mainland South America
Hey guys a couple months ago i made a post about hitchhiking from germany to south america with a sailboat from spain somebody commented i should keep you updated and I can now proudly share that I made it across the atlantic, now let me break it down: I started just as I said in my first post where this all was just a plan, I took a bus from Freiburg Germany all the way to Murcia Spain where I hitchhiked to Almerimar a small town near Almería with a nice and small marina (one of you guys gave me the advice to go there and try my luck thank you so much for that) there I met a nice austrian sailor who was willing to teach me some sailing and after 2 weeks of sailing in the Mediterranean he asked me if I would like to sail to the canary’s with him. In Las Palmas on Cran Canaria i stayed about one month looking for another opportunity to cross the atlantic it was a very nice time i was able to meet some very nice people and make a lot of new friends then i got accepted on a catamaran owned by an American family. With them I sailed to Trinidad, now I‘m here and looking for a way to go to Venezuela or somewhere else on the South American mainland which is hard, because of the current political situation in Venezuela there are no sailors going there, apparently there was a ferry between the two countries but it sunk 😅. If anyone has a idea or knows something or someone please let me know it would be a great help.
