Italian Paradise Porto Venere & Other Less Glamorous Boat Stuff
We've sailed from France to the north of Italy!🇮🇹 In this episode we explore the breathtaking medieval town of Porto Venere, take in dramatic views from the old hilltop church, and enjoy delicious Italian food. But full-time cruising isn't all postcards, we also handle some not so glamorous boat projects to stay anchored a bit longer.⚓️
Then we set sail south toward a tiny, Italian island with only around 400 residents. With weak wind it's turning into a long, dark night of sailing. 🌒

🧑✈️ Crew: Erik, Linn & Nora the dachshund
If you're new here, welcome! 🩵 We’re Linn and Erik, a Swedish couple in our early 30s who quit our corporate routines in Stockholm, rented out our apartment, and set sail for the Mediterranean with our dachshund, Nora. We started our journey on a 33-foot sailboat from 1980, which we later sold in Germany, briefly stepped up to a Bavaria 37 from 1999, and have now officially upgraded to our dream home: a 45-foot 2016 Beneteau Oceanis where our next chapter begins.

Sail & Doxie (Linn & Erik)
In 2026, Swedish sailors Linn and Erik live full-time aboard their Beneteau Oceanis 45 on the French Riviera with their miniature dachshund, Nora.

The crew manages their own digital cruising guide business while documenting the technical realities of off-grid sailing, cross-border yacht upgrades, and extensive offshore passage making.
