Many want to set sail now or in a few weeks. To the great journey, to the adventure of life - but are not allowed to. Others have long been traveling all over the world and now do not know how the journey can continue. For many, time is of the essence; the hurricane season finally dictates the circumnavigator's schedule. All those who are now on the road are therefore asking big questions.
Travel plans burst
The Corona crisis is not only affecting the start of the season in Europe, but above all it is also affecting the plans of the many long-distance sailors around the world - and in this country.
The ocean sailing club Trans-Ocean has canceled all preparatory seminars for the big voyage, including the annual Lossegler meeting. Big plans are suddenly on hold, descent dreams suddenly burst.
Dynamic situation all over the world
It is hardly possible to depict the current situation in every country and at every anchorage, as it is currently changing rapidly all over the world.
However, two examples of German long-haul crews from the Caribbean and the Pacific show what consequences the corona pandemic is currently having for circumnavigators and how they are experiencing the crisis.
