The next day was so bad that we decided to leave the place at 8AM already, and h...
Recently, a lot of long distance cruisers have taken their adventures to new dimensions and the Sailing Youtubosphere is seeing the arrivals of a few babies.
I got a food baby.

The beauty of what we do is that a lot of times, we end up in places we didn’t even know existed and that we would have never have gone to otherwise.
Like when we ended up sailing among some of the biggest superyachts in the World in Mallorca, between ...
When it comes to seasickness, I thought I had tried it all, but that was before randomly ending up balancing myself in the companion way.
On our way out of Ibiza to Mallorca, we were met with a crazy beamy swell that although not dangerous, made or cross...

This week, we are leaving Cartagena and set sails towards the Balearics! This time a year, the weather in the Mediterranean is still unstable, and we need to make a few stops along the way to dodge some weather.
Our first stop is in Mar Menor, an inland ...
In this video, we share the story of how a beautiful day at sea ended up being towed back to Cartagena, Spain by the fire department.
We recollect the succession of events that led us to this situation and share our lessons learned with the community.

Didn’t see that one coming!
For the first time since we left the dock in Stockholm, we take Polar Seal out for a spin in the bay of Cartagena, just for the sake of having the fun day on the water (oh and also because we want to test our water maker…)...

We have been spending an entire month and a half maintaining and upgrading our boat. And although it is really satisfying to see Polar Seal tur...
Special thanks to Anders, who made it possible for us to purchase this arch (and therefore make this video) by giving us his old radar. Without it, we would have had to replace our entire marine electronics setup and would not have had the budget for this ...
