This week we start sailing to the Tuamotu islands, and it’s a race with our two friends to make the slack tide of the atoll in Raroia. Sailing with two other boats that are both faster then Merewether, we have to push her to the max to keep up. This makes for an uncomfortable sail. The constant spl...
Hi again!
Im proud to partner up with Oscar Navigation wich let me try their Oscar Advanced 640 anticollision thermo camera! This thing can detect objects in the sea in front of you wich a conventional radar can not. When it "sees" something it uses Artificial Intelligence to decide what ...
Sea Dream of Clyde's shipyard date in Nanaimo was coming up, so I took advantage of a forecasted southerly blow and well timed northerly flowing flood current to sail 35 miles north from Cowichan Bay to Nanaimo Harbour where I was hauling out.
This transit includes two tidal passages to plan ...
This week we head into the beautiful Shelter bay marina to finally install our Hydrovane, and a few other maintenance jobs that one has to do owning a boat. In the 30 + heat we put piece by piece together and Kieran drills several hols in Merewether, not a task he enjoys. We stumble across an issue,...
Sorry all the waiting but its been a lot of work getting the boat ready for new solo sailing endavours!
I have partnered up with Raymarine wich has provided me with the coolest setup ever! Its so nice to get all this recognition and to be appreciated for what I do, thank you!
The gennaker is now o...
So proud to be partnered up with Rolly Tasker Sails, the world largest producer of offshore cruising sails! They made me a heavy weather jib to be installed on a cutterstay, and an A5 gennaker made to take on stronger winds.
Even Sèlden Mast contributed with a bowsprit!
And thanks to Gran Seil in ...

Then we are at the final chapter 5, sailing the last miles towards back home to Haugesund. On my way I visited the beatiful island of Foula, west of Shetland before crossing the North Sea back home again.
Its been together a 2400 NM trip for a 5 weeks sail. And after this 6 months of constant editi...
One of my lifelines snapped a month ago when someone was stepping off the boat so I thought it best to replace them last Sunday Morning. When I finished, I invited three friends to join me for an afternoon sail with Skylie ll, Wahine, and me. The wind was light, but it was pleasantly relaxing Sun...
It is a remarkable morning in Tokyo Bay and has the potential of being a milestone day. So I spent it solo sailing. Just Wahine, Skylie ll and me. The lightest of winds at the start but they did pick up some later. Skylie ll ( aka the Hydrovane) manages even in the lightest of winds.
So join m...
Back again!
Now follow my wild ride proceeding from beautiful Iceland to the marvel of Faroe Islands.
Being held on Iceland by King Neptuns weather-reports for 10 days, I even got to have a real sightseeing around this volcanic landscape- before getting thrown out in the wild, windy North Atlantic ...
Greetings!
Join my wild raid across the furosious oceans from the incredible Jan Mayen to Iceland, another huge vulcanic spectacle in the cold North Atlantic!
360 NM claused hauled for 3 days takes its toll on most of us. But when facing adversity, remember its there to make you stronger, so you mi...
There is a typhoon off the coast of Japan making it a cold and rainy day, so I have turned my attention to passage planning and preparing for the voyage in 8-months' time.
I am grateful to Kirk, Paula, Rick, and Maurice who all have extensive passage experience and have given me advice freel...
Welcome to "Captain`s Learning Log." Before I bought Wahine, I had many fears. Two of them were of going below and under, and the other was going above and over. The ATN Mastclimber helped me conquer one of those fears, and it enables me to go up alone, which I have now done countless tim...

Here is Chapter 1 of Sailing Around the Norwegian Sea!
This episode covers the sail from my hometown Haugesund and all the way up to Værøy in incredible Lofoten. Dream away while we visit all the beautiful islands and sliding slowly through the archipelago of Helgelandskysten. This is the Norwegian...
This day did not go as I expected, but I am always grateful for the lessons learned. And there were three of them, to be exact! Thanks to Patron Robin Mah for the additional footage of me climbing the mast and trying to attach the rudder. And yes, next time I will have a helmet on!

Hi! I'm continuing, separate from Season 2, the Pacific Solo Captain's Log, where I will record and upload simple videos about what I am learning.
This week I have three tips for those who are thinking of launching their own Kickstarter Campaign. I've just finished my campaign on th...
Last episode, I installed Skylie 2, my new hydrovane and permanent "crew member." I have had a chance to take Wahine out a few more times, and I have to say, the hydrovane is fantastic! I'm looking forward to even more time with Skylie 2 (named after my beloved Border Collie, Skylie),...
I am a step closer to my goal of sailing solo across the Pacific. I've completed the installation of new and permanent crew member "Skylie II," my new hydrovane. The hydrovane will act similar to an autopilot, and is a relatively simple device that frees me from the helm and keeps me ...
Hi everyone!
First of all jump onboard and join me on a very stormy yacht delivery, were I supricingly got caught in another fullblown Force 10 storm outside Lindesnes, the south cape of Norway, wich is one of the seven worst open coastlines along my country!
And enjoy the 3rd and last part cove...
25th of January 2020 I set out again for another North Sea crossing to get to Shetland and the impressive Up Helly Aa vikingfestival. With 4 degrees celsius, gale winds on the nose, and 4-6 meter waves it is all set for a real battle agains the elements. Toughest North Sea crossing so far! :)
This ...
Back again!
This time I will go through all my safety equipment I have in hand if I a life threatening situation should occur, forcing me to evacuate my boat- during my Greenland adventure.
Jan Mayen and Greenland is pretty far from any rescue services so I could get in a situation were I will ha...
