Soup /trv/

I might also have to post part of this in /n/ later...

I plan to take a simple sailboat and sail across the Atlantic (at first) following the lines on the map... Now I'm using as simple tech as I can, minus the obligatory emergency GPS, and possibly something to tell ships "HEY FUCK YOU I'M HERE DON'T SAIL INTO ME!".

Oh, you can ignore the purple/pink and blue lines, going to South Africa and Japan respectively. Turns out it's pirateland, as someone on /g/ once told me.

I'm doing this with a friend of mine, and I do have a basic idea of what to pack.

So yeah, help me plot where to land, and what to pack /trv/!

Oh come on /trv/, I'm sure somebody here knows some nice coastal cities in Europe and if there's islands in the middle of the Atlantic.

there are two ways to do it: viking style or portugual style. either go from anada to greenland to iceland to norway/ireland, or go brazil-africa.

Ahhh... I was thinking I'd be stuck between the two...

Is there anything interesting in western Africa? The entire continent keeps circle-jerking itself, so I just feel like staying for a day or something to stock up then leave.

I guess I'll redraw my map then... But mainly I guess:

Halifax -->
St John's (Labrador) -->
Greenland -->
Reyk. -->
Normandie and rest of France -->
London -->
Netherlands -->
Belgium -->
Norway -->
Danemark -->
Finland -->
Sweden -->
Germany -->
Back to Normandie -->
Lisbon -->
then explore the med. sea, back out to western africa, possibly down to South Africa, and maybe into Brezil and to the US, then finally back home, or on to Panama.

Sounds like a great plan. Be sure to check for each country's ship-landing regulations. You don't want to end up with a hefty fine just to land in a fishing port. How long will this trip be?

mmm, I forgot times...

Well, a maximum of three days at each city, with the exceptions of Sweden, Germany, Belgium, and in the med. sea (where I'll probably spend a good month in Lebanon), because I'll be busy visiting family.

People on /g/ told me I can get a good 18km/h in ideal conditions, so that's about two weeks to cross all the atlantic from Quebec City to France. (but I'll be going from Ottawa to Halifax, so meh)

I expect it'll be maybe half a year, maybe a full year. I'm planning to do this instead of the obligatory "backpack through Europe". I don't really care though about the lenght, because I won't be pressed for time when I take it...

Oh, forgot to say: some of these are only day-spots, namely Greenland, second Normandie, and Lisbon, where I'll just be stopping to restock.

Sounds fine. Remember to check for weather patterns when you travel from point A to Point B. You say that you were going to travel along with a friend too?

Hopefully a special someone, but I don't know if she'd want to come. Doing a year+ trip without a friend though would be horrible. =(

Do all countries have like a Weather Network or something? But I wouldn't have a TV, maybe web sites checking the atlantic or in the newspapers?

This sounds really dangerous.

I am pretty sure NOAA covers the world....

You will more-likely be checking in local newspapers for weather patterns. But I doubt its going to be any help since it covers a country's weather forcast then a weather pattern out in the sea.

I don't know why but bring a fishing rod.

Do they have internet cafes in Iceland and Greenland? If they do, I guess I could easily check online for the weather...

I'm not american so idk what the NOAA does, or how to access their reports and stuff, mind helping me out?

I was thinking of doing that, and like letting the fish dry in salt on the sides of the boat, like the golden days. =3
