We have just <br \/> finished our first week onboard, with a short trip from Nuuk up to <br \/> Aassiat under our belts. There are eight of us onboard, so who are we? <br \/> Jimmy needs no introduction. There\u2019s myself, Doina, Jimmy\u2019s daughter, <br \/> and my own daughter Nera. Completing our family is Marianne <br \/> Aschenbrenner, my cousin. She\u2019s a TV editor from Munich and is filming a <br \/> documentary on the Blue Planet Odyssey, starting with the Northwest Passage.<\/p>\n<p>Together we make up the A watch. There are three watches, on for four <br \/> hour slots during the day and three hours at night, and we\u2019ve a rota to <br \/> share out cleaning and dish-washing duties also.<\/p>\n<p>Watch B is Nick Carter and Nikki Woodroffe. They already have experience <br \/> of high latitude sailing having sailed round Cape Horn and led a sailing <br \/> trip to east Greenland in 2012 with seven English ex-servicemen and <br \/> amputees. Nick has been on Aventura since she left Cherbourg and is <br \/> Jimmy\u2019s right hand man, which means as lowly crew members we get a rich <br \/> combination of salty English sea dog, just enough military discipline to <br \/> whip us civilians into shape, and Jimmy\u2019s wealth of experience and <br \/> unfailing commonsense to keep us on track. We\u2019ll be heading off into <br \/> dangerous waters soon, and it is nice to have confidence in the guys in <br \/> charge.<\/p>\n<p>Watch C hosts a wealth of international talent. Jean\u2013Luc Gourmelen, <br \/> well-known French sailing journalist who is writing about the trip and <br \/> especially the performance of the new Aventura, adds a dash of Gallic <br \/> spice to the mix. Also on Watch C is Emily Penn, and I\u2019ll find it hard <br \/> to sum up her achievements in a few words. She\u2019s been working with me to <br \/> develop our Blue Planet Odyssey education program, in between her busy <br \/> schedule as Royal Geographical Society speaker of the year and Program <br \/> Director of Pangaea Explorations. Emily has brought along a trawl from <br \/> the 5 Gyres Institute to trawl for plastics in the Arctic Ocean as part <br \/> of a global reasearch program.<\/p>\n<p>An odd mix, you\u2019ll agree, and as this voyage proceeds I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll be <br \/> hearing more from Jimmy Cornell Sailing Circus.<\/p>\n<p>Doina Cornell<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aventura crewTop row: Nick, Nikki, Jimmy and Marianne, Bottom row: Nera, Doina, Emily and Jean-Luc<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m giving our esteemed captain Jimmy a rest from Log writing today so that I can introduce you &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/de\/2014\/07\/introducing-aventuras-crew\/\">Read more<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":8314,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[127],"tags":[],"odyssey":[143],"destinations":[],"class_list":["post-10766","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aventuras-log","odyssey-bpo-de","odd"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10766","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10766"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10766\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8314"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10766"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10766"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10766"},{"taxonomy":"odyssey","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/odyssey?post=10766"},{"taxonomy":"destinations","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/destinations?post=10766"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
