Equator We passed six says in the calms not far from the equator and had to use the enginge in order to proceed against the winds which were blowing directly at Dagmar's "nose". Now we are enjoying the constant southeast trade winds and are sailing...
Atlantic We are already half-way across the Atlantic. We have passed the Calms. The calms is an area without wind. This must be taken literally - not a breeze over the water just the up and down of the sea. Without waves, which impede visibility, we...
Cape Horn 55 degrees and 59 minutes south, 67 degrees and 16 minutes west: That is the magical position. That is Cape Horn - the southern tip of South America. This is the spot where the south Pacific and south Atlantic meet one another - where around...
Caletta Olla The humming sound is getting louder. It approaches the “Dagmar Aaen” from eastern, circles around the ship and then disappears upwards. On board, however, no one is paying attention to this flying object which hovers in mid-air making a...
Tierra del Fuego In the southern hemisphere of our earth summer has begun. When there are no cold winds coming down from the mountains, we can wear our t-shirts on board. It seems strange right now to think of Christmas. If you take a close look,...
Christmas The sun is shining this morning in Puerto Williams. We have 10,5°C. The mountains in the background have a light snow on their peaks. It snowed in the higher altitudes during the night. A total of 26 ships have gathered at the Micalvi Yacht...

Ushuaia Finally on board again! It is a great feeling to see the “Dagmar Aaen” in the marina of Ushuaia. As if it could be completely taken for granted, the ship has travelled 9.000 sea miles since she left Hamburg on the 5th of August. Volker, who was...

Argentina The days are growing longer, air and water considerably cooler. We can see and feel the fact that we are once again in upper latitudes. The thermometer has dropped to about 14 °C. Big albatrosses accompany us majestically. The "Dagmar Aaen"...
Punta del Este The "Dagmar Aaen" has left the Sugat Loaf and Rio de Janeiro behind. Fabian, Lara and Volker, the new crew members, arrived in the Brazilian metropolis and with the rest of the crew experienced, in the following days, the forerunners of...
Natal Our several-day stay on the island Fernando de Noronha, which was spent waiting for the new crew members to arrive, was eventful and interesting. We hadn't had the pleasure of a real shower in quite a long time and were counting on the sanitary...
German Bay A totally new experience for most of the crew members: The sun is beating down from the sky. On deck, the magnum bottle of sun lotion is being passed around. Shady spots on the ship are sought after. We have often experienced good weather on...
South Coast of England The south coast of England greets us with overcast skies, rain and winds coming at us head on. The "Dagmar Aaen" pounds her way westwards. In the head, the "popular" roller coaster movements have begun. In the head of the ship,...
Falmouth In the Bay of Biscay, the Atlantic allows the "Dagmar Aaen" to roll and pound in the rhythm of the waves. The crew has become accustomed to the swell. We have been sailing on a south-south-westerly course heading for the north-west corner of...
Vigo It was late in the evening when we were able to bunker in Falmouth. We left the small harbour city on Friday and were therefore relatively quickly welcomed by the remaining storm turbulence. South of England's Land's End, the breakers off the beam...
