ABOUT STARDUST

Hello and welcome to our webpage! We are Ronald, Elsine, Julian (9) and Robin (8) from the Netherlands. In July 2023 we took off from Canet-en-Roussillon for our sailing around the world, or better, where our interest takes us. Since then we have sailed the hot Med, went through the choppy waters of Gibraltar, went very fast to the Canaries and travelled around there for a bit. Our team of friends from NL arrived in la Palma from where we set off to cross the ocean. We had to make an unexpected pit stop in Cape Verde and arrived just before the fireworks on the 31st of December in St Lucia. Since then we’ve been getting to know the Caribbean and who knows where we will end up. We try no to plan too much. As long as we can educate the kids on board and we all love the adventure we continue living aboard Stardust.

Our catamaran Stardust is a Windelo 54 Yachting (hull nr 4). Stardust comes from the song Ziggy Stardust from David Bowie (our dinghy is named Ziggy). “David Bowie is a big inspiration. In a 1997 interview with CNN, he said, “Always go a little further into the water than you feel you’re capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth. And when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting. This applies directly to all four of us going on this exciting adventure.
