After my first crossing to England, my engine started failing just before entering Lowestoft. Just before the sandbanks. What followed was a hands-on repair: a broken alternator bolt, a slipping V-belt, and multiple trips to a tiny hardware shop in the harbor.
In this video, I take you through the ...
In todays video we re-wired half of our boat, put new batteries in, as well as clean up a ton of unsafe, crappy old wiring. Hope you enjoy and sorry it took so long to post a video...gotta get back in the groove!!
Hearing the words "remote island Japan" is one thing. Seeing it in person is another. And having the opportunity to sail through its clear, blue waters? That's a dream come true.
In this episode, I sail to my third port on this unique Island called Amami. The port is called Koniya i...
Following my two rather sorrowful Videos earlier this year, and after much reflection and consultation with my advisors and sponsors, I have decided to keep Wahine and focus for the time being on exploring Japan from the sea. The goal of solo sailing across the Pacific, through the North Pacific G...
It took two years and three attempts, and I finally arrived in the deep inlet of Uken; I was welcomed by my mate Matt Pride and the Mayor. Also, I made new friends: Mitsu and his colleague Kenchan. Also, It was Shintaro`s final days with me on board Wahine.
Matt took me on some adventures, and I ...

I was without an engine, and a sudden storm was blowing me toward an active volcano, I could take refuge on a tiny island with only 59 residents. For three days, I enjoyed the rugged beauty of the island, the hot springs, and the kindness of the locals. Thanks to the shore team for your help and M...
Part two of my passage from Oita to Amami. Having spent a week in Abaratsu ( Nichinan), first by the Ghost Ship and then at the wonderful Calm Lanai Harbor, we set off for Tanegashima, Japan`s Cape Canaveral. Shin Taro, who helped me install the new alternator, joined me as crew and I was so glad ...
Oita to Amami Part One. After a month of questioning my boat and then myself, I set my eyes on finally reaching Amami Oshima. It is the island near Okinawa I set out to sail to two years ago today ( March 4th). I diverted to Mei Prefecture because of a broken Auto Helm. I tried a second time last ...

The lovely new batteries finally turn up, so we do a full battery installation and also upgrade our alternator, pulley's and belts to match the power. It all takes quite a bit of programming and general messing about! We are itching to go sailing but we keep being delayed, just as we think we a...
To change the scenery we move towards the other pass of Rangiroa. Mario tries to find a mechanic ashore before he starts his MacGyver modus to find a solution for our burned diode and I have to repair my not working toilet.
We have luck that we can manage to swim for a moment with dolphins in the p...
After our smooth and relaxed sail last week to Rangiroa, it's time to start exploring the island. We had some more electrical problems on the sail to here and Mario starts to find out what happens and we try to find a solution for it. Looks like we have a bigger problem...

It is so much fun to be able to sail our home from one destination to another! Had a great time exploring the southern end of the Berry Islands. Next stop Nassau. Hopefully we won't have too many more issues with our engine! Fingers crossed!

We found an Irish Pub and headed off to check it out. Magnus fixed the autopilot clutch which was slipping.
In the meantime, the engine electrics get a touch of housekeepings and are now looking much tidier.
Magnus makes a start on fixing the Jabsco raw water pump.
Thanks for watching and follow...
Want to make power from nothing? Well, that's impossible, but you can build your own alternator that to make power from wind, moving water or most anything else that spins. This is a technical video that shows how electric power can be made with a DIY alternator.
This will be very helpful to...
How to generate power on board is a question we are asked a lot, by people who are new to sailing or are considering a life on the water. So we decided to make a video. Ta-dah! Here it is, complete with my ageing frame on the foredeck as thumbnail clickbait! Who needs bikini clad strumpets when a m...
