Broken steering! Yep. One of my worst nightmares on a boat with one rudder. There was a good reason why we invested into the completely newly designed and built rudder and all the associated mechanism including totally oversized hydraulics to drive it 6 years ago. And truly for 6 years and 50 thousand miles it has […] More
(Day 16) Last 3 days was busy, busy, busy. First we were recovering from the gale 4-5 days ago. We checked the boat. Took care of few small leaks in hatches. Then we started watching and preparing for the new much bigger and more visous storm brewing over the Azores and expected to travel roughly […] More
(Day 11-14) Sorry for being silent for few days. It’s been busy here. Mostly because of the weather, but also because of some repairs along the way. First we decided to make a bold dash to the North to cross over warm front to avoid the forecasted calm in that area. That has worked out, […] More
Day 10. Hey guys! Yesterday and today we had few psychologically significant things happen. First of all our ground log that we installed with Ania when we bought the boat in 2014 just clocked 50000 miles. All of these miles are ours, save for my absence during the 700 mile trip from Lisbon to Canary […] More
We have two pieces of info today. One good, and one bad one. The good one is that we are consistently managing to sail the windspeed. The bad one is that the wind speed is 3-4 knots ;), We’re playing giant chess game with a calm that keeps shifting in this area. We had great […] More
Hey guys! We are well into the second day of our voyage with over 300 miles behind us. We waited few days to pick just the right weather and so far it’s working out really well. Not only the weather, but the boat and the crew are in perfect shape. Yesterday we had few small […] More

Keep fingers crossed for smooth and safe passage. We invite you to the next updates straight from the Ocean. If you feel that […] More
…. that is, preparing the yacht and our whole family for a trip across the Atlantic. It was a very intense time in our floating house. Preparations for the expedition had been going on for many weeks, but the last two weeks before the departure had already gained dizzying pace! Preparing the yacht, training the […] More
KINGSTOWN, St. Vincent and the Grenadines — A volcano in the southern Caribbean that had been dormant for decades erupted in a billowing blast of gray smoke Friday, spewing clouds of ash for miles and forcing thousands to evacuate. There were no immediate reports of casualties. The La Soufrière volcano last erupted in 1979, and […] More

In addition to intimate contact […] More
Find inner and outer peace with us on a Caribbean cruise! The plan also includes yoga, meditation and the basics of tantra! The last few months have been a time of quite big changes. We have lost the feeling of “stabilization” and we are starting to verify our life priorities. Many fears and uncertainties appeared. […] More
We have been staying with our floating house in Martinique for several months. For those who do not know this island, I would like to remind you that although we are in the Caribbean, we are in the European Union. Martinique is part of France. This year at anchorage, there was no question of who […] More
