SAILING EXPEDITIONS
There are many “Black Pearls” in the world, but only 1 “REBELS”
She has been caught in 7 meter breaking waves, journeyed “impossible” route against winds and strongest current, had autopilot and engine failures, in the middle of Atlantic Ocean and still is thirsty for more adventures, same as her crew...
Yes, all of us, are not exactly “young” in passport numbers, but we have something that no amount of grey hair and squeaky wood can take away...…

____________________________________Timeline
February 2023 - world explorer Robert Dalinger and I became co-owners of “Rebels”.
I have never sailed before... Some might say "She's mad" ... and they would be right. I am mad. Mad enough to go after dreams, which could crash against reefs, not enough skill and get swallowed by storms, but not to go after them, would be deadly to our spirits.
2024 - Anchored in Mauritania and sailed along the coast of West Africa BACK to Canaries from Cape Verde taking THE INFAMOUS EAST ROUTE, instead of West. Captain Robert celebrated his 55th Birthday on 5th of February while sailing to Cape Verde. On 27th of March I celebrated my 40th year in this world in the Atlantic ocean and on land on the same day.
