In this episode we enjoy our boat life in Lagos together with Bertil that mean we eat, relax, do some exceptions, fix a little bit on the boat and celebrate new year. Then we do a short trip to the cold north back home to Sweden to see family and friends but we quickly return to Frida.

We are a middle aged couple that has left our hectic business lives to go sailing with our boat Fridá af Wisby and our cat Litza. Our goal is not to go to a specific place but to reach a state of mind where we can really enjoy life. We love to explore the area we are in, meat fellow sailors and locals but also to just relax on the boat. But living on a boat almost full-time means that we do need to do quite a bit of maintenance and we want to share all of this with you through our videos.

Anders has been at the sea most of his life and sailed for the Swedish national dingy sailing team as a young man. Gitte has also grown up with boat and spent every summer sailing with her father as a teenager but made a pause of about 15 years without sailing as an adult, had just begun to pick-up the interest before she meet Anders a 4 years ago. Onboard we also have our cat Litza a 3 year old Devon Rex we call her the cattain because cats always decide over their humans.

Litza is a Devon Rex cat and she is the real cattain aboard.

Fridá af Wisby is a Wauquiez 47 pilot saloon that we Gitte and Anders bought in UK in 2019 and that we have sailed to Gotland and in season 1 2020 we sail in the Baltic Sea and in August 2020 we began our big adventure to sail along the Atlantic coast of Europe all the way to the Mediterranean Sea.
