History

This two-mast vessel was launched as the 'Graaf van Limburg Stirum' and put into service for herring fishing. In 1925 the logger was taken out of commission In 1935 the vessel was sold to a Dane and renamed Tecla. A motor was built in and until 1978 the small coaster was transporting freight like grain, stones and fertilizer between different Danish islands. Meanwhile the ship has returned to the Netherlands and a considerable renovation gave it a new purpose as a sailing charter ship at sea.

Log TECLA - Whales and sharks, 22 May 2013

Whales and sharks
01:25UTC 22-5-2013

Today we had the company of 2 Minke whales, a smaller whale seen around the world. At first we just saw their water fountain, but after a while they started flapping their tails and jumping half out of the water! It was amazing to see. Everybody was on deck, clapping and cheering! Just before that we had done a MOB exercise and while we were explaining how it was going to work, we saw a small fin, just 20meters beside the ship!

Today, due to lack off wind, we have not been sailing, we tried last night, but drifted backwards with the current. Yesterday during the day we had some good wind, but on the nose, so we tacked our way up. It was good practise for the cadets, steering, changing running backstays and some sheet handling.

Right now the vessels are close together, during the day we might throw anchor before entering Durban.
