LLAS e.V. Brigg ROALD AMUNDSEN

The BRIGG ROALD AMUNDSEN is operated by the association LebenLernen auf Segelschiffen e.V. (LLaS e.V.) on a voluntary basis. Sailing trips take place throughout the year. The association's purpose is sail training – actively experiencing traditional seamanship, exchanging ideas across generational and linguistic boundaries and reaching the destination together as a team under sail. Did you know that sail training is part of UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage? Everyone on board is part of the crew, looking after each other and the needs of ship operations. This also means that you as a trainee will be involved in all tasks that arise. The permanent crew will explain how everything works. As a non-profit association, LLaS e.V. uses all income for ship operations and ship maintenance, in order to continue making these unique experiences possible for many people

Daily Report from 28.03.2023 Is this all a dream??

"Is this reality or a dream? Happy moments waking up in the morning, sunrises at the helm with popcorn, the diversity of the sea, every breath of wind, the joy of movement, encounters with dolphins and furling the sails. The voyage offered a climb for a breathtaking view. The galley team crowns the day with a surprise dessert to accompany the paella. Who can prove that this dream life is real? Today I lived my dream!"

Having departed from Martinique, we sail towards Guadeloupe under foresail, mainsail, topsails, forestay and inner jib. The Atlantic swell brings unfamiliar motion to new and old Roaldies alike. A consolation: an impressive pod of dolphins. The demanding but rewarding day ends with a beautiful sunset. Under a clear starlit sky we continue our course to our next anchorage. In 'Caribbean easy mode' we hold course so as not to disturb those sleeping. Our watch is over, we look forward to our bunks.

On the rough Atlantic we sail at about seven knots in Force 8–9 winds, surrounded by waves, white horses and the raw power of nature. On the bridge we marvel at the spectacular display, whilst in the bunk the constant rolling poses a challenge. A tiny ship, a 33-strong crew, united against the elements. Despite the swell and salt spray, we cherish the beauty of the seascape and the camaraderie of the crew. Alongside the challenge of sailing, we find time for useful activities such as learning splicing and serving.

From heavy rain showers to refilling the cereal box to an unexpected 'bathtub' moment on deck – the crew experiences challenges and rewards. An impressive rainbow accompanies the furling of the upper topsail, and welcome news announces that the Azores will be reached in less than 500 nautical miles. The night transforms the ocean into a silvery landscape, whilst the crew looks forward to the coming day and sends loving greetings to their loved ones.
