🌬 From calm to storm: After a calm start with little wind, we finally got open sea conditions – and Sørlandet showed what she can do. We have seen double digit speeds and set a record with 223 nautical miles in 24 hours !

🤝 Meeting at sea: A highlight was when we caught up with the Dutch sailing ship Eendracht . Two proud sailing ships side by side – a magical moment for everyone on board.

📚 Learning and Discipline: Between watches and sailing, the students have worked on academic subjects and the Jungmann program. Life at sea is about more than sailing – it's about cooperation, responsibility, and community.

🍴 Friday tacos and good vibes: Even on the high seas, we keep to the traditions. Taco Friday tasted extra good with the wind at our backs and heading towards Las Palmas.

⚓ Arrival in Las Palmas: Sunday afternoon we dropped anchor outside the marina, ready for new experiences and the start of the ARC 2025 – a spectacular sight with hundreds of sailboats setting off on an Atlantic crossing.

This is more than a journey – it is an experience that shapes young people and keeps a 100-year-old tradition alive.
