Long Journey Home
04 May 2020 by News DeskMelbourne-based science researcher Christiaan De Beukelaer planned a three-week sailing trip.
In early March his boat set sail from Australia with no internet and after many weeks at sea with no communications he had no idea that an international pandemic had taken over.
When he did finally find out about coronavirus he was not allowed to dock his boat at any port he visited. Many governments have banned people from visiting and entering their countries.
Now De Beukelaer’s boat – the Avontuur – must cross more than 6,000 nautical miles across the Atlantic Ocean to the only port that will accept it… Hamburg in Germany
Then, when Australia finally allows him to return to Melbourne, he will have to sail another 6,000 miles across the ocean in order to get home – by which time he would have travelled over 20,000 miles and spent around three months at sea!
