We finally found some time to make a movie of our journey on the Ionian sea (the south coast of Italy, the Greek Ionian islands, and the east coast of Greece). Turn up the volume and play it full screen! Enjoy!

Sardinia & Sicily – The Movie
While again waiting for gale-force winds to subside, this time in Le Castella (Italy) and having time in our hands, we made a movie of our travel along the coasts of Sardinia and Sicily. Turn up the volume and play it full screen! Enjoy!
Corsica – The Movie
While waiting for gale-force winds to subside in La Caletta (Sardinia) and having time in our hands, we made a movie of the crossing to Corsica and the Corsican coast. We crossed from Saint-Laurent-du-Var to Saleccia. From Saleccia we went down the west coast of Corsica to Bonifacio. Enjoy!
Throwback Thursday – Leaving Avignon
It was only 6 weeks ago that we were on the Rhone heading for the Mediterranean Sea but it feels like another life. Carl & Pia sent us a very nice little movie of us leaving Avignon. It’s nice to look back every now and then! Thanks Carl & Pia, we hope to meet you […]
French Mediterranean coast – The Movie
During our little pit stop in Saint-Laurent-du-Var we found the time to piece a little movie together of the French Mediterranean coast, from Port-Sain-Louis to Saint-Laurent-du-Var. After hearing the diesel engine run continuously for almost a month it was a delight to sail again!
Inland waterways – The Movie
We’ve been in the mediterranean for 3 weeks now and finally found the time (and stable WiFi) to piece a little movie together of the inland waterways. We have to admit that we do miss the French rivers and little canals a little bit every now and then. It was a special experience!
The christening
After 2 years spent refitting our sailing yacht she was ready to go back into the water on February 25, 2017. We were never really fond of her old name, so we had to do a little renaming ceremony.
2 years at the yard
We expected to refit the boat in about 6 months, in the end it took us almost 2 years. We exceeded our initial budget by 200%. A normal project! We don’t regret any of it: we could have bought a boat in a better shape but this would mean that we wouldn’t know every inch […]
How it started
It all started with the idea of having a small open sailboat in the Mediterranean. The small open boat quickly became a small sailboat with a cabin, and as things usually go the small boat became a sailing yacht worthy enough to cross oceans. So when we saw this old English sailing yacht for sale […]
