This web-site is meant to be first of all our own diary, but we hope it will also serve as a means for family and friends to follow our peregrinations, and hopefully some information may be of use for other like-minded folks.

Clicking on the buttons on the left, you will go to the following subjects:

  • Log Book: the diary of our progress (if any!)
  • The voyages: histories and pictures
  • The crew: ourselves, our crew and friends
  • The boats: how Shaula3 and Shaula4 are made, and how we modified them for our projects
  • Onboard life: notes about specific subjects related to everyday's life onboard (this section is a work in progress)
  • Budget: information on the much-debated subject of the cost of sailing
  • Technical notes: considerations concerning technical aspects of long-distance boat preparation
  • Pilot Book: routes, places, recommendation (this section is in preparation)
  • Photo-Album: links to the site of our complete photo albums 
  • Movies: links to our movies on U-Tube
  • Links: addresses that we find useful
  • Contact us: how to get in touch
