Our feelings about the Cook Islands are a bit torn. Aitutaki was beautiful! So was Rarotonga, but because of all the bureaucracy we did not see much and basically just wanted to sail away from that port as fast as possible. We even got a letter of warning...

Palmerston is one of the Cook islands and that island was amazing. The people were great, the nature was wonderful and we really enjoyed our time there. We hope you will enjoy it too! If you want to support our video production, please become a Patreon: ...

Humpback whales, sea snakes, fishes, caves, corals… Niue has it all! Even though we only stayed for a week we have to make two episodes about this place. There is so much to see, the islands itself is totally unique and we just loved it! We hope you w...

Part two from our time at Niue, the amazing coral island in the middle of the Pacific. We have never seen an underwater landscape like this! This is just a spectacular island, in so many ways. We hope you will enjoy it! If you want to support our video ...

Rain, maintaining, clearance, laundry, shopping and running around looking for things is a big part of a sailors life. Of course that is not what we like the most but it is necessary, even in nice places like American Samoa and Samoa. :) We hope you find t...

There is so much to see in this country and the people are great. We had some issues with the permit to cruise around but when we met ”the right person” we got our permit and were able to see a lot of this beautiful country. We hope you will enjoy it! ...

We were not yet done with the Pacific Ocean and therefor we decided to change our course towards Wallis, followed by the northern route - Tuvalu, Kiribati, Marshall Islands and finally Federated states of Micronesia.. But that’s for later episodes. :) ...

In this episode Oskar shows a little about our HF-radio and how we download weather forecasts. While we were swimming in the middle of the ocean a oceanic whitetip shark came and said hello. We reached Tuvalu but we did not stay very long… We really wan...

Tarawa was our first stop in Kiribati. We had to do the clearance in a town called Betio and when we went ashore we got chocked. So much plastic and garbage! That was very sad to see. Thank you Kenneth Weiss for letting us use your photo and for your impor...

Butaritari in Kiribati is one of our Favorite Places in The World! Abaiang was great and it was so funny to meet all the kids, even though some of them probably thought we were scary ghosts. We loved it, but there was something about the atoll Butaritari ...

We had a lot of work to do in Majuro, after the rudder loss in the open ocean. A lot of things had to be repaired and exchanged and we were happy that we managed to reach the Marshall Islands. In the atoll we also celebrated Christmas and New Years and th...

Our bad luck seemed to continue to follow us in the Marshall Islands and we lost our GoPro to the ocean... Finally all the spare parts arrived and most importantly, the rudder arrived and we installed it in the water. We also changed the propeller shaft s...

After two months we were ready to leave Majuro and explore the other atolls and islands in the Marshall Islands. The winds picked up and we had to be patient for a few more days. Finally, we made it 80 NM, to Aur atoll. A HUGE thank you to all you guys w...

Maloelap Atoll is such and interesting place to visit! There is hundreds of WW2 relics, everywhere. There are canons, houses, bullets, aircrafts on shore and such interesting snorkeling on old war ships. If we had more time we could probably spend months o...

Wotje atoll in the Marshall Islands was very interesting. It is so much to see and on the beaches there are are a lot WW2 relics everywhere. We are sorry about the quality of both the pictures and audio but in the next episode we will finally get our new ...

Because of COVID-19 our plans have changed and we are now in U.S. Virigin Island. We did not plan to go here but we are very happy that we made it and we think a lot about all the sailors out there that are struggling to enter any country. We really hope t...

Our first stop at the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) was on the island Pohnpei. We walked the jungles, visited waterfalls and explored the interesting and mythical ancient city Nan Madol. We also built our own new whisker pole, out of bamboo. You�...

In this episode we sail in the waters of Federated States of Micronesia and drop anchor in the wonderful atoll Woleai. That island turned out to be one of our favorite stops and we have never felt as welcome as we did there! The locals invite us to their t...

Our last stop in the Pacific was in the island of Yap, in Federated States of Micronesia. In Yap, we got visited by Paul Fenn and his son Graham. Together we explored the island, both above and under the water. Paul also interviewed us for Jeanneau Underwa...

In this episode we sail to Philippines in Southeast Asia. Our last sail in the Pacific turned out to be wonderful, with a very calm ocean and a lot of fishes, but… we also saw a lot of FAD:s, Fish Aggregating Devices. A sailors nightmare. We decided to d...

In this episode we visit the islands Jao, Bohol and Cebu, where we explore both by foot and by motorbike. One of the smallest primates on earth, the Tarsier, live in Bohol and we got to see a few of them. We also saw the impressive Chocolate Hills and met...
