It's been a while since our story started and because we have a completely new approach to social media here, this story actually needs to be told in a new way - somehow. Well, a little more than 7 years

Hi there, we are Joanna and Andy, two free spirits with two dogs and a cat on a 50 years old catamaran that quit the rat race and went for an epic adventure. We are a german/swiss couple on a cruise to

After Portugal and Marocco we are now back in spain: Arrecife/Lanzarote. It is a really great Island. In 2011 we sailed already in this area and visited with a charter yacht all Islands except of Lanzarote

If there are children onboard your vessel, you know how hard it can be to entertain them. Whether the small humans in question are your own, friend's, or extended family members, there is a good chance

After having every broken part repaired and back in place we are heading for Morocco. From Lagos to Mohammedia it is 210 nm, so we plan two days for the trip. We are far from the street of Gibraltar, so

리브어보드를 타기 위해 공항으로 출발했다. 원래 호텔까지 픽업을 온다고 했는데 쏭크란이라서 푸켓시내로 못 들어간다고 공항으로 오라고 했다. 아침일찍 가는게 좋을꺼라는 호텔 프론트의 조언에 따라 아침 일찍 공항으로 출발했다. 아침 8시쯤 됐는데 사람들이 막 물을 뿌리고 있었다. 미리 나오길 잘 한 것 같았다~ 차도 하나도 안 막혀서 공항에 도착해서 픽업버스가

Yes, we are already in Lagos. Originally we thought to sail the way down with around 5 to seven stops like Nazaré. Lisboa, Sines. But we got a weather forecast promising north wind for a couple of days.

Eventually we got the right wind force from the right direction for our 67 nm trip from Baiona/Spain to Porto/Portugal. We are happy now to be here since the weather changed to a sunny and warm one and

Now we have reached our presumably last spanish marina before we are crossing the portuguese border. Since we are happy about getting visited by some of our family we will stay here the remaining days

The day we sailed to Combarro was quite nice as I mentiond in my last blog. But since the day after arrival we have a lot of rain and wind. In gusts more than 40 kn (44,5 as you can see on the picture,

After spending a couple of days in Ribeira we continued our sailing south to Combarro. According to our sailing guide for this area it would be a "shame" not visiting Combarro once being around

Arrived in Ribeira. Instead of sailing the engine was on and the sea was a bit rough. But no real issues. The only issue is the bad weather here. I thought March in Spain would be already sunny with more

Bevor we are leaving Muros for the next Ria, here two pictures of Muros.

After one week in Camariñas we sailed into the next Ria, Ria Muros. Not exactly sailing, because at the beginning the wind was not enough for sailing and for the last about 15 nm there was almost to much

Nice walk along "Costa del Morte" from Camariñas to Cape Villano with its light house.. Sunny, 15 to 20 degrees Celsius. Last nice day before the cold wind from Central Europe is coming down

After 4 months in A Coruña we started into 2018 sailing which shall bring us at the end of the year into the carribean. But that is a long way which we want sail step by step. The first one are the around
