Ahoy,
my stay in Guaymas was only for a few days. Long enough to speak to the boatyard and catch up with some friends. And then I set sails to cross the Sea of Cortez again. I was headed to Bahia San Franzisquito.
But this time I had to deal with a bitchy ...
What's the difference between a beached Frenchman, a Trippy Viking and Black Cape Verdean Milkmaids? For the moment they all live in Mindelo, Cape Verde and, no joke, are starring in this episode. When living aboard a sailing vessel sailing around the worl...
After a 7 day passage solo I was excited to arrive in the bustling port city of Sorong, Indonesia. It had been months since I'd had access to fast internet, supermarkets and restaurants. I met a local called John who helped me out with all the check-in aut...
Solo Sailing on a 7 day passage to Indonesia I show you a little of what a day on the big blue ocean is like. At the same time boring and exhilarating. Life is good!

What is a Mandingo? Fierce African warriors and in Cape Verde also great sailors. We set off with a crew of Cape Verdeans. It was great to have them aboard as they know the local waters. That's probably why we caught a big Mahi Mahi. Peixe was my go to guy...
I set off for a 15 days Solo passage to Indonesia from Kavieng, PNG.
I have some great sailing, hit the usual squalls that give me a pounding but also cool me down and catch a few fish on route to a stop-over at Hermit Islands. I anchor right at the head o...
No reservations, no plans where to stay. So we became village crashers. In fact two lovely families let us crash in their home. Cape Verdeans are some of the most friendly, generous and hospitable people. We got an idea of how they live. It's different tha...
Sailing to Ontong Java has long been a dream of mine. It is one of the most remote places you can go. Many small children there had never seen a white person and were shy but fascinated by us. We spent a couple of weeks anchored beside the tiny village of ...
As we explore inland Rio Dulce, Guatemala, we meet Harley, a solo sailor who is single-handed sailing around the Caribbean and he shares his thoughts with us about the challenges and perks of single handed sailing. Cruisers summer camp continues as we hitc...
A bunch of young city folks go camping on a deserted beach. No it's not a pitch for a scary movie. It's what many Cape Verdean do on weekends. My dear friend Peixe invites us to share this experience. And it's quite a special time eating, swimming, fishing...
Experienced som problems with my windlass and showing how I prepared for the worst case scenario with increasing wind while being alone. Sailing solo in Greece, exploring Zakynthos with a quad and checking out the ship wreck bay from above. Fabio from Vale...
I'm no Anthony Bourdain, but this episode has some of his style because it is about discovering Cape Verde through food, drink, music and its people. My journey is about discovery. And here we discover a side of Cape Verde that is real. Some may say this i...
Sailing into Marovo Lagoon through the beautiful Mbili passage we were greeted with the most amazing colours! All the different shades of greens and blues were on display. The time we spent anchored outside Checke, a tiny village deep in the lagoon I will ...
Sailing the beautiful Solomon Islands has been a dream of mine so it was very nice to get out of dusty noisy Honiara and get somewhere "real". I really had the feeling that I was about to embark on a grand adventure but I was trying not to get my hopes up...
We continue the Atlantic crossing with a lot of things happening as the wind ranging from 0 to 60 knots...

Many sailors have come to Cape Verde then gone to sail across the Atlantic Ocean. I have chosen to stay longer and discover more about this island nation. In a way I am steering off the usual course and doing this a little more unusual. Like going bar hopp...
My very first ocean passage
After 3 seasons of learning, fails, funtimes and amazing adventures up and down the east coast of Australia its finally time to begin my overseas sailing adventure. I set off from Gladstone, Australia and sail across the Coral S...
There are several shipwrecks in Mindelo Bay. One is partially submerged so we tied our dinghy on to it and explored the wreck top and bottom. But before we set to explore Mindelo Bay, one morning I wake up and everything is turned around. I have to do some...
I have not seen a beach like this in a long time! Marina Mindelo was busy with ARC sailors before sailing across the Atlantic. So we decided to get away and get a taste of real Africa just a few minutes walk from the marina. Later we get out of the city, a...
We spent a week at the marina and then decided to anchor in the bay. There is plenty of space and the holding is good. But most importantly I wanted to test life a anchor for long a period of time. There is only one marina in Cape Verde. So anchoring is th...

We are officially moored and settled in Mindelo, Cape Verde. Now it's time to meet some folks. From the guys working the marina, boat hitchhikers to seasoned sailors. As well we get a taste of some authentic Cabo Very music and are invited into the barrios...
We either picked a perfect weather window or got very lucky or both. This is the definition of "Smooth Sailing". In the conditions, we could just keep on going for days. Were totally adjusted and comfortable. We're very close to getting to our destination,...
Now we're on our way indeed! We fly the spinnaker and coast our way south at a steady 5kts. That doesn't mean everything goes well with my big orange sail. Bringing it down was a mess that got me all tangled up. Best thing is... no more seasickness!
Plea...
Something AWESOME is coming!
