The Indian Ocean is big. It's daunting. It can throw wicked storms at you out of nowhere. But in order to sail around the world, we had to sail cross it.
The first step in that journey was sailing from Phuket, Thailand over to Trincomalee, Sri Lanka. Amazingly enough, at just over 1,000nm ...
We continue to try and sail to Australia but the weather is definitely against us. After 6 days at sea we have no choice but to motor the last three to four days to make it to Australia.
We’ve sailed over 10,000 nm, but as we enter the channel into Australia our engine decides to die! We have tide ...
We do our final preparations for leaving New Caledonia and go through the checking out procedure, visiting all of the government officials that we need to.
We sail from Noumea and head towards the Gold Coast, Australia.
I wake up after my watch to find Magnus extremely quiet, sitting on the floo...
Join us as we set sails and leave South Carolina as we head to Florida for our bottom paint job. During our passage, we face multiple struggles as we learn to put our sails up, face anchor dragging and wake up to a 50-knot storm that steals one of the cushions from our boat.

We leave South Minerva Reef and sail towards Norfolk Island where we plan to spend a few days on our way to the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.
It’s a very slow trip and the wind definitely isn’t in our favour.
After a few days of bobbing along and going around in circles, and in the wrong dir...
We leave Tonga and sail in the direction of North Minerva Reef, a beautiful coral atoll in the South Pacific.
We finally arrive at South Minerva Reef after a detour due to weather conditions.
Magnus uses the mooring balls from the Tuamotus on our anchor to stop it from getting caught up in the ree...
We set off on our second passage from Hawaii to Washington, this time with just the two of us sailing Varuna, our Pearson 367. Departing Oahu, we sail north with some incredible scenery on the horizon, but soon we find some unexpected things in the ocean.

Join us as we sail our final leg of the Italian coast, the Italian Riviera. Once we look past the ferraris and mclarens, we actually found a very genuine and laid back part of Italy.
As we head for the Italy-France border, we reflect on some of the highlights of sailing Italy and recommendations fo...
Join us as we continue our sailing around the world adventures, continuing our sail up the coast of Italy for Pisa, where we find there's more to the town than leaning towers!

We sail to Elba, the exiled home of Napoleon, where we find a wonderful island of beautiful historic towns, white sandy beaches, and even some surf! With such an idyllic island, why did Napoleon ever feel the need to escape?

Sailing across the equator is special moment. It's even more special when you cross with friends who have never done it before, aka Pollywogs!
We had become Shellbacks (sailors who've crossed the equator) on our way to the Galapagos way back in 2016. So it was our honor and duty to prop...
We’re finally at the end of our 36-day passage from Costa Rica to Hawaii… and searching for wind! Becalmed off Maui, Hillary swims with pilot whales, then with some wind finally blowing we sail right by a drifting shipping container - eek! Then, a mile offshore from our destination with absolutely...
The countdown is on! Our latitude is getting closer and closer to zero as we approach the equator for the second time on our circumnavigation!
Of course, to get there, we had to work for it. The winds close to the equator are incredibly light, but somehow I managed to actually come up with an inc...
Join us on a couple of lazy days of sailing up the coast of Italy, and we show you a typical day in the life of Tranquilo. But first we need to show Tranquilo some tender loving care..

Sailing in Indonesia is always an adventure. If we're not dodging fishing boats and FADs, apparently we need to keep an eye out for waterspouts!
We had a couple water spouts form way too close for comfort on our sail over to Belitung. Fortunately, we escaped without any incident but it'...
Join us as we continue our sail up the west coast of Italy and do a whirlwind tour of Rome, visiting some of it's most amazing sites - the Vatican, Spanish Steps, the Colloseum, and Trevi Fountain, where El has to hold herself back from jumping in!

An ocean crossing is never easy on a boat, and constant use means lots of wear and tear on the boat and the gear. As we sail from Costa Rica to Hawaii we do some maintenance underway, replacing a cracked slide and a chafed reefing line as we watch the weather and time our repairs between the strong...
It's time for some real talk. Sailing in Indonesia is not very fun or very easy. And here's why:
There are fish attraction devices (FADs) everywhere, including in extremely deep water, they don't have lights and you can't see them on radar. And if you're not worried abou...
Life at sea can be pretty good! Despite blowing out our favorite sail, we have some pretty sweet tradewind sailing conditions, making great time as we sail towards Hawaii, bathing on deck and even setting up a haircut salon. And we’re not alone! We’ve picked up some rather permanent seabird hitch...
We just set out on our longest passage to date, over 4000 miles across the ocean from Costa Rica to Hawaii. A few days in, we’re getting into the swing of things, with our headsail poled out, windvane steering and fishing lines busy with hits! The deck is scattered with flying fish and we pick up ...
Join us as we continue our sailing around the world, where we sail to Ponza. Forced to sit out strong winds from the north, we find a charming island paradise with a great party atmosphere!

A word of advice. It's perhaps not the best idea to take two ladies on a sailing passage that turns into a tough upwind bash. Especially when it's the first time one of them has ever sailed overnight!
Our friend Sara had a flight to catch on the island of Lombok so we had watched the we...
What's this??? Two successful spinnaker sails in a row??? There may be hope for us yet!
We were faced with light winds again for our passage down to Labuan Bajo on Flores Island so it was the perfect opportunity to get some more spinnaker practice. It turns out Starry Horizons rather likes ...
Sailing Zoomies = Starry Horizons speak for sailing fast. Just in case you were wondering... :D
We had 380nm to cover in order to sail from the Banda Islands over to Hoga in Indonesia's Wakatobi National Park and faced a "tough" choice. Sail fast and make this a two night passage ...
