Staging for an Atlantic Crossing: A tale of Stormy Seas, Learning Patience, and Rum Swizzle #99
When we first left Bonaire to sail across the Atlantic to the Azores, we never intended on stopping anywhere on the way. But after a serious week of beating into the wind, our bodies craved a break on land (as well as a burger and a beer) Our VHF broke as soon as we arrived in Bermuda, and we knew...

SAILBOAT MAINTENANCE: Replacing the stern seal, cutlass bearing, and aligning the prop shaft. #74
Welcome to the yard, and one of the first project of our season prep! Ryan wanted to change the cutlass bearing, which was due for a replacement after 13 years of good and loyal services. Since replacing the cutlass bearing involved removing the prop shaft, this seemed to be a good opportunity t...
One last sail before we go: repatriating amidst the covid19 pandemic. #64
After over two months stuck in Saint Martin, we decided that the best course of action for us to escape hurricane season and reconnect with our sanity was too repatriate to Sweden.

The long, windless and boring days at sea we (sorta) cherish… // Atlantic Crossing Daily Vlog #14
It is day 14 of our Atlantic crossing and we’ve now lived at sea for 2 weeks. Getting bored yet? So are we! ;) And while boredom is never a fun feeling, it also is the expression of nothing going particularly wrong, which is an experience to cherish. We fight boredom with food (obviously), nappi...

Welcome to our LONGEST day across the Atlantic. The wind dies on us and we spend our entire day messing with sails. In this video, things take a turn again.

Halfway across = Party Time! // Atlantic Crossing Daily Vlog #8
It is day 8 of our Atlantic Crossing onboard, and although it took us a week, we are well settled.

No wind + waves on the beam = One gnarly passage to Mallorca! #41
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 crossing a lot more challenging than we had expec...
It’s called a “shakedown sail” for a reason #35

MARINA LIFE: How to use a hailer (the proper way). #23
This week, we arrive in Lagos, and have many thing to fix: our autopilot isn’t right and our radar is unusable.

Dodgy galley cooking from Porto to Lisbon #22
Cooking on a sailboat isn’t very different than cooking in a regular kitchen. I have a fridge, a stove, an oven and a sink. Of course, my “kitchen” (called a galley on a boat) is a little smaller than the kitchen I had in my Stockholm’s apartment. I also use gas instead of my induction stove and e...

Sailing to Islas Cíes: the best beach in the World. #21
