September 14 - September 27 , 2020; 3201 nm and 559 days after departure from La Rochelle Without any swell anchoring is just perfect. The boat light swinging in the waves makes you feel like a baby in a cradle. The sun shining makes you feel good and the blue water is inviting you to jump into …
August 24 - September 14, 2020; 3110 nm and 543 days after departure from La Rochelle No surprise 😁, but yet important to mention.

August 09 - August 23, 2020; 3081 nm and 521 days after departure from La Rochelle Our sail back to San Sebastián was pleasant and easy going. It seemed that the local fishermen did a good job that day. There was no bite left for us or the fishes just were too clever and avoided …
July 24 - August 08, 2020; 3064 nm and 506 days after departure from La Rochelle Exhausted from our car-island-exploration we let the rest of the week finish smoothly.

June 09 - June 22, 2020; 2947 nm and 459 days after departure from La Rochelle Unbelievable, but we eventually managed to escape from our dear lockdown home Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Finally saying goodbye to all the nice people we met and having a last coffee at the Sailors bar, a last washing …
May 24 - June 08 , 2020; 2899 nm and 445 days after departure from La Rochelle Life feels so good! Busy city, busy streets, crowded beaches and noisy construction sites! Who would have thought that we'd be happy about such (usually annoying) circumstances? Definitely nobody and yet we enjoy it! Let's see for how …
May 08 - May 24, 2020; 2899 nm and 430 days after departure from La Rochelle YES! On Monday we had our first cappuccino since the lockdown started - 56 days cappuccinailed! Such a great feeling sitting in a cafe and being allowed to enjoy a nice coffee and seeing other people walk by. It …
