Julian & Patricia Morgan A Capella of Belfast<\/span><\/h2>\n
![](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/pages\/AO-P-2017-ACapella.jpg\")
<\/p>\nWe are Julian (57) and Patricia (54) Morgan from Herefordshire in England. We have sailed for many years in Europe and have recently sold our steel Callisto 385 which we have owned these last five years.<\/p>\n
Our new boat, A Capella of Belfast<\/span>, (aluminium Allures 45.9) is being built in Cherbourg as we write this and is due for delivery on September 1st when we plan to sail her directly from Cherbourg with a few stops, to the Canaries.<\/p>\n
Our plan is that the rally will be the start of a five-year journey around the world. We have always wanted to do this and finally the right time has come. This will be our first Atlantic crossing and we will be sailing with our two friends, Oliver O\u2019Toole and Stuart Dawson both from Herefordshire.<\/p>\n
We look forward to meeting likeminded people and seeing our two grown up sons aged 24 and 26 in Barbados for Christmas. Thereafter we plan to sail North to Florida and then up the east Coast of the USA before returning to the Caribbean in December 2018. In the spring of 2019 we plan to go through the Panama Canal and across the Pacific.<\/p>\n
We are very excited about taking delivery of our new boat and making new friends during the Atlantic Odyssey<\/em> and beyond.<\/p>\n

![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/pages\/AO-P-2017-Falkor.jpg\")
<\/p>\nI\u2019m Patrick and I am currently afloat with my family – my girlfriend Sherrie and our two children; Emma-Justine (4,5 years) and Kai (2,5 years). Also, our dog Mango (almost 6!).<\/p>\n
We have been based in Berlin the past few years and our boat in Nowe Warpno, Poland. That is where we started our trip in April of this year, and from there we headed west. We sailed mostly along the standing mast route in the Netherlands before working our way down the coast of France and Spain into Portugal.<\/p>\n
![](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/pages\/AO-P-2017-Falkor-steffen.jpg\")
My friend Steffen<\/p><\/div>\n
Sherrie and the kids will fly back to Canada to celebrate X-Mas with her parents and I will continue to cross the Atlantic with my friend Steffen. I will be reunited with the family in Barbados in the new year!<\/p>\n
The Atlantic Odyssey<\/em> is for us a good way to do the first major crossing. Albeit the boat has crossed the Atlantic multiple times, we have not and I count on the experience of the organizers and the camaraderie of the other participants to make this a safe and great experience<\/p>\n
Our boat is a 9.4 meters steel sloop named Falkor<\/span> after the luck dragon in Michael Ende\u2019s The Never Ending Story<\/em>. We had more difficulty naming our boat than we did our son! In the end however we knew we found the perfect name with Falkor<\/em>. I am German and Sherrie is Canadian and The Never Ending Story<\/em> is from both of our childhoods.<\/p>\n
It also ties into how I first started traveling. My first around the world adventure was on a motorcycle and I named her Emma after the locomotive in Michael Ende’s Jim Knopf<\/em> stories. It was on that trip I met Sherrie and convinced her to reform her backpacking ways and turned her into a motorcycle traveller. After we had children I finally convinced her to sail around the world with me. Sherrie is a less enthusiastic sailor than motorcycler, but for the most part it seems to work!<\/p>\n
Before becoming full time cruisers I worked for a startup in Berlin and Sherrie worked as an English language trainer alongside developing her writing career. We have been sailing on our summer vacations for the past four years, with our longest trip before this one being a 2 month sail around Denmark when our son was 4 months old.<\/p>\n
My friend Steffen is joining me for this crossing. He works for \u201cJoin the Crew<\/em>\u201d and will be meeting a new crew in St. Helena\u2019s shortly after we arrive in Barbados.<\/p>\n
I am looking forward to meeting everyone in person!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\u00a0We are Gabriela and Markus Pf\u00e4ffli, a couple from Switzerland. We are also parents of 4 grown up kids and grandparents of 2 grandsons. This summer we will finish early our active professional life and spend some time on our sailing yacht KISU. How long we will sail and where the winds will carry us, we will see.<\/p>\nOur boat was built in 2012 by a French shipyard. We are the second owner and we have equipped KISU<\/span> for blue water sailing. After six years of careful preparation we will set sail in July 2017 to arrive in time on Tenerife.<\/p>\n
We have decided to join Atlantic Odyssey<\/em> because this will be our first Atlantic crossing. We intend to prepare ourselves together with other participants and to benefit from experienced yachtsmen around Jimmy.<\/p>\n
At the same time it\u2019s a good chance to get to know equally interested folks and to exchange mutual experiences of Atlantic crossings. We also appreciate very much that the number of participants is limited.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n Comme dans toutes les histoires il y a un d\u00e9but, un pourquoi…. <\/em><\/p>\nOui pourquoi se sont-ils lanc\u00e9s dans cette aventure ? <\/em><\/p>\n
La passion pour la mer le vent et l’aventure… <\/em><\/p>\n
Ils sont 4 copains anim\u00e9s et r\u00e9unis par le m\u00eame r\u00eave traverser l’oc\u00e9an et naviguer vers les Antilles contre vents et mar\u00e9es…admirer le soleil se lever et se coucher sur l’horizon au gr\u00e9 de chaque jour, admirer les dauphins les baleines et toutes ces merveilleuses choses que l’oc\u00e9an offre… sans oublier le plaisir de la p\u00eache et de cette valse aquatique qu’ils esp\u00e8rent danser chaque jour…. <\/em><\/p>\n
Mais qui sont-ils ? Un doux m\u00e9lange de “La v\u00e9rit\u00e9 si je mens” et “Le c\u0153ur des hommes”… des hommes courageux g\u00e9n\u00e9reux chefs d’entreprises pour trois d’entre eux et heureux retrait\u00e9 pour le 4e, pour eux c’est le moment du plaisir et de la r\u00e9compense, bien m\u00e9rit\u00e9. <\/em><\/p>\n
Il y a maintenant plus d’une ann\u00e9e que ce projet a vu le jour certainement sur le Fly d’un bateau un verre de ros\u00e9 en mains et des id\u00e9es plein la t\u00eate, et puis il y a eu les bonnes rencontres les bons conseils des samaritains d\u00e9j\u00e0 engag\u00e9s dans l’aventure, Merci \u00e0 eux ! <\/em><\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/pages\/AO-P-2017-Smala-boat.jpg\" "\\"\\"")
Alors le projet mois apr\u00e8s mois a pris vie et tout s’est enclench\u00e9 trouver le bateau se former s’\u00e9quiper se pr\u00e9parer avec l’enthousiasme et l’impatience d’une veille de No\u00ebl…<\/em><\/p>\nD\u00e8s lors nos quatre amis n’ont cess\u00e9 de parler de leur aventure et ont commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 la vivre dans leurs c\u0153urs et leurs \u00e9motions. Si vous saviez comme c’est beau et bon de les voir heureux excit\u00e9s tels de jeunes premiers, parfois timides et inquiets puis euphoriques et impatients mais toujours unis solidaires. <\/em><\/p>\n
Jacky, Jean-Yves, Patrick et Philippe, des mousquetaires hors du commun mais surtout tr\u00e8s heureux de partir ensemble ! <\/em><\/p>\n
Bien s\u00fbr c’est une sacr\u00e9e pr\u00e9paration car il s’agit aussi d’\u00eatre \u00e0 la hauteur du challenge et de ne rien oublier, une organisation men\u00e9e de mains de ma\u00eetre par les moins r\u00eaveurs…et oui quatre personnalit\u00e9s diff\u00e9rentes l’un sera plus papillon l’autre plus soucieux voire m\u00e9thodique ouf il en faut. <\/em><\/p>\n
Nous (leurs femmes) qui avons pu les observer les \u00e9couter et aussi un peu les aider hihihi …nous avons \u00e9galement pris beaucoup de plaisir \u00e0 sentir ce parfum d’enthousiasme et de volont\u00e9 dans l’aboutissement de leur r\u00eave et \u00e7a c’est d\u00e9j\u00e0 une partie de l’aventure et c’\u00e9tait vraiment bien !<\/em><\/p>\n
L\u2019\u00e9quipe de : \u00ab On l’a r\u00eav\u00e9, on le fait<\/a> \u00bb (notre Blog). <\/em><\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n As in all stories, there is a beginning, and a ‘why’?<\/p>\nYes, why did they launch ourselves into this adventure? Passion for the sea, the wind and aventure…<\/p>\n
They are four friends all motivated and united by the same dream of crossing the ocean and sailing towards the West Indies against the winds and the tides… to admire the sun rise and set beneath the horizon each day, the dolphins and the whales and all those marvellous things that the ocean offers… without forgetting the pleasure of fishing and this aquatic waltz that they hope to be dancing daily…<\/p>\n
But who are they? A mixture of the French films “La v\u00e9rit\u00e9 si je mens” and “Le c\u0153ur des hommes”… courageous men, generous businessmen, for three of them, and happily retired for the 4th, now for them is the moment for some well-earned pleasure and reward.<\/p>\n
It is now more than a year since this project was born certainly on the bridge of a boat with a glass of ros\u00e9 in the hand and a head full of ideas, and then there were good meetings and advice from those Good Samaritans already engaged in the adventure, thanks to them!<\/p>\n
Then the project month after month began to come to life, and everything started – to find and equip the boat, train the crew, and make preparations with the enthusiasm and impatience of Christmas Eve …<\/p>\nFrom then on, our four friends never stopped talking about their adventure and began to live it in their hearts and their emotions. If you knew how beautiful and good it was to see them so happy and excited, somewhat timid and worried at first, then euphoric and impatient, but always united.<\/p>\n
Jacky, Jean-Yves, Patrick and Philippe – four extraordinary musketeers but above all very happy to be leaving together! Of course it is a huge undertaking, because it is also about being up to the challenge, and not to forget anything, a skillful organisation\u00a0 led by those who are of a less dreamy temperament… and yes, four different personalities: one will be more like a butterfly, the other more careful, or even methodical if necessary.<\/p>\n
We (their women) who were able to observe and listen to them, and also help them a little (ha ha) … we also enjoyed experiencing this scent of enthusiasm in the culmination of their dream and that is already a part of the adventure and it was really good!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\u00a0Commen\u00e7ons par le capitaine, sans qui tout ceci ne serait encore qu\u2019un r\u00eave. Guillaume a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 naviguer avec ses parents \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 5 ans \u00e0 bord d\u2019un Ranger 29. Ils ont ensuite explor\u00e9 les Bal\u00e9ares, la Corse et l\u2019Italie sur un Jeanneau M\u00e9lody. Mais c\u2019est avec un Chassiron qu\u2019il a d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 et affin\u00e9 ses comp\u00e9tences tant sur le plan technique que sur le plan de la navigation. <\/em><\/p>\nJennifer, capitaine en second. La mer, elle la connaissait plut\u00f4t de l\u2019int\u00e9rieur avec des plong\u00e9es sous marines en Australie, \u00e0 Papeete et en M\u00e9diterran\u00e9e. Elle a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 naviguer avec Guillaume en 2005 \u00e0 bord de leur premier bateau: Luna Bay, un Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42.2. Ses missions principales seront de pr\u00e9parer les repas, faire travailler les enfants, mettre \u00e0 jour le blog et aider le capitaine lors des man\u0153uvres.<\/em><\/p>\n
Jocelyne, la maman de Jennifer, rejoindra l\u2019\u00e9quipage au Cap Vert pour faire la travers\u00e9e. \u00ab Nous ne serons pas trop de 3 pour assurer l\u2019intendance, les quarts de nuits, g\u00e9rer les enfants et participer aux manoeuvres. \u00bb Elle est vaillante, adore les voyages, le soleil et ses petits enfants.<\/em><\/p>\n
Th\u00e9otime, le fils ain\u00e9, a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 naviguer alors qu\u2019il n\u2019avait que 9 mois. Aujourd\u2019hui, du haut de ses 13 ans, il a suffisamment de force et de talent pour aider lors des manoeuvres. Curieux, passionn\u00e9 et sportif, il est impossible de s\u2019ennuyer en sa pr\u00e9sence.<\/em><\/p>\n
Charline, la cadette, avait 11 jours lorsqu\u2019elle est mont\u00e9e sur Luna Bay. Et depuis, elle n\u2019a cess\u00e9 d\u2019adorer la vie en mer, quel que soit le bateau. Aujourd\u2019hui \u00e2g\u00e9e de 10 ans et demi, elle est la force tranquille de cet \u00e9quipage. Sa g\u00e9n\u00e9rosit\u00e9, sa patience et son ardeur \u00e0 tout faire bien, font de Charline le pilier de la fratrie.<\/em><\/p>\n
L\u00e9onie, la benjamine, n\u2019avait \u00e9galement que quelques jours lors de ses premi\u00e8res navigations. Plus sensible au mal de mer, elle arrive maintenant \u00e0 d\u00e9celer les premiers sympt\u00f4mes et prendre ce qu\u2019il faut pour ne pas en p\u00e2tir. Ag\u00e9e de 6 ans et demi, elle est p\u00e9tillante, maligne, incarne la joie de vivre et m\u00e8ne tout son petit monde par le bout du nez.<\/em><\/p>\n
Trois adultes, trois enfants, un \u00e9quilibre parfait, une somme de bonne humeur et une promesse d\u2019une quinzaine anim\u00e9e.<\/em><\/p>\n

Le nom de Luna Bay<\/span> donn\u00e9 \u00e0 notre premier bateau fait r\u00e9f\u00e9rence \u00e0 une petite crique de l\u2019ile Ponza en Italie qui constituait alors notre objectif de navigation. Nous l\u2019avons seulement atteint l\u2018\u00e9t\u00e9 dernier avec notre nouveau bateau, un OUTREMER 45, Luna Bay II. Il nous rappelle chaque jour que rien n\u2019est impossible!<\/em><\/p>\nNous avons d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de nous offrir une ann\u00e9e de parenth\u00e8se pour parcourir quelques milles en famille. Le choix de rejoindre l\u2019Atlantic Odyssey s\u2019est impos\u00e9 tout naturellement. Nous avons rencontr\u00e9 Jimmy Cornell \u00e0 plusieurs reprises et nous avons \u00e9t\u00e9 s\u00e9duits par ses aventures marines. <\/em><\/p>\n
