Frewin Island is really paradise found. A tiny village in the centre and a perfect golden sand beach bordering onto a vibrant coral reef, coupled with loads of friendly and curious kids and you have found the right spot. After being solo for the past month...
Ylva and I sail north, cross the equator into the northern hemisphere and spend an incredible week anchored nearly alone at Wayag Island. Wayag is very remote, almost impossibly beautiful, the water is very clear and the beaches are empty.

Splash! Byebye drone. A very sad start to the day but the sailing this day was epic and the next few days in Wayag soon made me forget about the lost drone. Marie from France joined me aboard and we had a excellent time up in the north part of Raja Ampat. ...
A long day of sailing was rounded off nicely by a most beautiful sunset complete with double rainbow. A double strike by two stunning spanish mackerel also filled the freezer. Life is good!!!
At the end of the video I did a little Q&A section, maybe so...
I return to Batanta with the beautiful Marie Morgan and together we are successful in finding the elusive waterfall from episode 84. A beautiful walk through pristine rain forest and then there it is, a cool pool to swim in surrounded by lush vegetation, l...

After a very short night we got ready to climb to the Volcano crater in part 2 of the Dukono adventure. As our clothes had not had time to dry out and the climate on the mountain being very different than on the coast we spent a very cold few hours in the...
I fell in love with Meti Island and its people during my visit, so much so that I extended my stay by a week. Such an innocent way of life there, smiling kids, laughing adults. Working hard each day but always together. This is the reason I brought my boat...
Sailing, solo sailing or sailing with friends, I love it all. I take you for a ride as I sail solo between Tobelo and Morotei. This year I've had lots of visitors aboard and have really enjoyed the company but it was nice to finally be able to sail solo ag...
