Stad Amsterdam:
Leixous (PT) - Santa Cruz (ES)

22 November - 30 November 2014

Sail south on the North Atlantic Ocean, from Porto’s harbor Leixoes to the Canaries. Experience everything that sailing has to offer. Join the watches: set the sails, keep lookout, and set the course. Look at the beautiful and endlessly starry night, surrounded by nothing but the sea. Enjoy the break of dawn like you never did before. Watch dolphins playfully dancing ahead of the bow of the Ship. Feel, hear, and smell the warm, salty wind. Your sailing adventure will end in Santa Cruz, Tenerife. Open to all ages, minimum age 15 years.
