A short report on Rolling, read the hilarious rese

A short report on Rolling, read the hilarious research blog from trainee Patrick.

"For this short report, a selection of aspiring, novice, and salty sailors have been chosen as participants. This motley crew is being subjected to a series of ongoing experiments, courtesy of the Mid-Atlantic Wind Fund - whose investment has been considerable. We thank it for fair winds, hours of laughter, a few sprains, burns, and bruises, and most importantly friendship - the best ship."

Even between all the sail handling, deck duties, and general maintenance, there is always time onboard Tres Hombres to come up with some sort of amusing stories, funky projects, and entertaining activities to spice up the daily routine. This blog entry, still wet from the Atlantic waves, is simply brilliant and you are all warmly invited to read it all on our website.

Click on the link you find in our bio and head to BLOG. You'll open then an amazing logbook full of all sorts of salty stories gathered over the years from our sailing crews. Perfect Sunday reading. Enjoy!

Our crew sent us an overview of some moments they experienced during their ocean crossing. We are happy to share them with you. Get your pure dose of Vitamin Sea to stay healthy and wild!

Dive into these images now and imagine being onboard...

3 weeks of no land in sight sailing downwind across the Atlantic, powered only by the fair breeze of the Trade Winds, knowing that before you many seafarers over the centuries drew that same wake...

Every day at dawn, a giant blazing sun rises on the East while the Atlantic swell helps to move the ship forward...
Every day at dusk, it sinks behind a flaming horizon on the West and sets while kissing the figurehead...

The open waters of the ocean and the infinity of the clear skies tinging the world around in all possible shades of blue. The air is as pristine as you can dream...with that kick of salt that makes it only tastier!

No internet connection, no phone calls. No traffic jams. No news. No screens. No TV. No devices really needed. No engines running.
Wind in the many raised sails and waves on the hull, the only noises you would hear...
Ocean creatures and your crew are the only beings you will see...
A simple bucket of seawater as a shower makes you feel free and rich as you would never imagine you could be...
An authentic detox for the minds and the souls who get poisoned on land so easily.

Depollute your spirit and join for the adventure of a lifetime onboard the one and only engine-free sailing ship moving cargo across the seas!

NOTE: Reserve your spot on time! This voyage is fully booked, but there are still a few bunks available for the second half of the Summer Trip. Head to our website to see the sailing schedule of Tres Hombres in the page SAIL ALONG.

Tres Hombres and crew successfully completed the 2

Tres Hombres and crew successfully completed the 25th Atlantic Crossing in her story for the 13th Fairtransport Atlantic Voyage.
20 days from the Canaries to French Antilles. Congratulations to our sailors and welcome to the Caribbeans!

Hooray, well done Captain Francois, Mates Arthur and Guven, Cookie Eddie, Deckies Thore and Alina, Bosun Camille and to all the trainees on board: Nadine, Sam, Eilish, Dario, Markus, Arco and Patrick.

Here is a message we received from Nadine this early morning with her very first and still warm impressions:

"Still can't believe we did it. I'm lying on the roof of the chart house at the moment not able to sleep anymore. I joined the journey because I wanted to cross the Atlantic Ocean. Now we did it! Time just flew by. Still feels as if we left La Palma only yesterday. The crossing was an amazing experience. Noticing the small but important changes you see day after day... the weather, the waves and the colors of the ocean slightly changing. I'm waiting for the sunrise at the moment, maybe then my head can realize we're really in the Caribbeans!"

Thanks, Nadine, for sharing your feelings with us all.
Soon we will show and tell you more of their ocean passage. For now, the crew will take some well-deserved rest, stretch their legs and enjoy some greenness under their feet while the ship at anchor rolls gently in the bay of St.Anne.

NOTE:
Barbados hasn't been canceled but it was finally decided that, for logistic reasons, it was better to make landfall in Martinique first. They will be sailing to Bridgetown soon and then head back to Martinique at the end of the month. Stay tuned, Tres Hombres islands hopping has just begun!

Did you know that we do not fair-transport rum and wine only?
We do have also delicious treats as an Extra Dark Cocoa Powder made with 100% Dominican Hispaniola cocoa beans artisanally roasted!

Sustainably produced in the heart of the Caribbean by Dominican farmers and shipped on board Tres Hombres, this unsweetened cocoa is available in different flavours such as almond, cinnamon, coconut, hazelnut and macadamia.

We all enjoy a smoking cup of hot chocolate drink (even better if enhanced with @treshombres.rum) but what if you could make your own chocolate paste in only a few simple steps with a very short list of ingredients?

Our former ship cook Giulia @the.rolling.galley used to make responsible ship-made chocolate spread to please the crew while sticking to her sustainable galley ethics. It takes little time and it tastes better than any jar you can possibly buy in the supermarket. Especially because YOU make it, YOU choose what to eat and YOU decide how you want it to taste!

1. Take as base your favourite NUT PASTE (hazelnut, almond, peanut, sesame). Banana or avocado smash (or the two combined) can work as fine

2. Add in some spoonfuls of our COCOA powder (the hazelnut one fits perfectly)

3. Decide which sustainable OIL to use: good luck with this thorny issue though! We recommend avoiding palm oil always and rather prefer organic and fair-traded oils harvested locally or shipped fairly (like our EVO)

4. Stir and mix all the ingredients together, adding the oil little by little to have a better grip on the final consistency

5. Pick a SWEETENER (possibly liquid) and add it till it reaches your satisfaction. Check what is locally available for you: honey, agave, maple or stevia syrup...

6. You can add a pinch of sea salt too or some crushed nuts to kick some crunchiness in. Even a touch of cardamom, vanilla or cinnamon for an exotic version can be fun!

NOTE: The amounts and ratio can range according to your own taste, preferences and quality of the products you use. Try, play and experiment to find your own recipe and let us know your results!

Sunset and dolphins are great but life at sea is not made of golden hours and acrobatic ocean creatures only.
There are some pure challenges to face and to win, first of all: learn how to walk on a rolling deck!

"Aboard the good ship Tres Hombres, many fledgling sailors learn to walk the ship as she rolls, pitches, and flies over the water. Learning to walk again takes time and is a great source of entertainment for both the new sailors and the seasoned crew. Here I want to describe some of the different techniques available for getting from helm to galley or bunk to heads in a rolling sea."

First Mate Arthur is not only a skilled sailor and reliable officer but also an excellent observer and writer.
We had quite some fun here reading his latest blog and whoever else ever stepped on board a seagoing vessel sailing in the billows will relate to his words and have his/her own fair share of laughs. Enjoy!!!

And you, how do you walk at sea? Which is your favorite style: the Newborn Faun or the Pitstop?

While our crew is happily sailing the Trade Winds

While our crew is happily sailing the Trade Winds on the open Atlantic, let's retrace together the wake of their voyage till now: a journey of more than 2000 NM from the North Sea to the Middle Eastern Atlantic.

In the North Sea, they got blessed by a favourable weather window with steady winds blowing in clear skies. Crossing Dover and passing the English Channel for once was a fast and unpainful joy!

They arrived quickly in the Bay of Douarnenez, where they anchored for a few days and loaded many high-quality empty barrels to be filled up with rum on the way.

Biscay was rough and offered the ship a wild ride, with heavy gust that provided the crew with some thrills running their spines. It was a quick passage that brought them in a record time till the next port on the Galician coast. After only two days, they dropped anchor in front of Baiona where they loaded many more empty barrels.
Cargo in, time to set sail again...

The more South they made the more the weather got milder and life easier. Living and sailing became smoother and smoother onboard, smiles bigger and bigger on deck. Crew's outfit changed from oilskins and heavy boots to sleeveless t-shirts and barefoot. Skins got tanned and tarred. Beards got longer, shaving every morning was no longer a priority. Seasickness vanished. Confidence earned tacking, climbing the rig, walking on deck, baking the bread.

Approaching La Palma felt incredibly good after all the stories they have heard from the former crew. 18 days spent on the island, unloading empty barrels to reload them fully, visiting the distillery, and spending some pure time exploring the place. Stud sails have been prepared and the first tropical provisioning has been done: definitely, good hints for the ship is ready to go back doing what she has been built for, the open Atlantic!

Many times already the horn has been blown as farewell: a Bosun left (fair winds Hanjo!), a new arrived (welcome Camille!), trainees have joined and enjoyed. Some have left, passing on their bunks and harnesses, some are staying, but by now, no doubt that Tres Hombres' crew is a family and the ship is their home.
