[E10] Sailing home to tell the story of how it began. 310 days left until we leave!
Five years ago, we had a faint dream of sailing away with the family for a lifetime adventure. Suddenly it's only 310 days left until we will actually do this, how did we even get here?
We sail home through the Swedish archipelago to tell you how it all began, from the boat that we didn't plan to buy, to the renovations we suddenly had to do. Let's see what we can find in the archives from five years ago.
This is how we did it, the beginning of our adventure, and hopefully we can inspire others to follow their dreams. It has been five years of learning, dreaming and planning. Now we are closing in on a lifetime goal, to sail away with the family.
Our Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 42.2 is being equipped and fixed to house the family of five during our adventures around the world. Most of the work is carried out by ourselves to keep the costs down and the learning high, future episodes will also dive into the costs of the adventure.

[E09] Sailing to Worlds End (Yes, it exists!)
มุมมอง 1.2Kหลายเดือนก่อน
The Family continues to sail west, across the border into Norway, to find Worlds End in Færder. One of the goals of the summer of sailing has now been reached and we celebrate with a diesel leak before heading on towards Svenner, which will be as far as we reach this season. The GoPro is still lost at sea, and the Drone is not allowed in these nature reserves, so let's use what we can to show o...

We ride "Sotekanalen" up north along the west coast of Sweden, heading to Kosterhavet marine reserve. Come along and observe the amazing landscapes as the family explore these beautiful islands in Sweden. We're just like any other family, but also not. Facing challenges in everyday life, we have decided to take our life to the sea to give our kids the best possible way to experience this world....

[E06] Where does the Baltic and North Sea meet? Let's sail there!

Our journey continues with ̶s̶a̶i̶l̶i̶n̶g̶ motoring around Kattegat to find the place where two seas collide. Skagerak, part of the North Sea, and Kattegat, part of the Baltic sea. Evading the rain at Vinga, anchoring in Denmark and ending up in Falkenberg, Sweden. Apparently nothing breaks and we just take it chill for once!

Finally we set sail! It is time for the summer adventures of sailing with the family, and we start off by sailing to Ellös to celebrate Swedish tradition "Midsommar". This is (one of) the brightest days of the year and here the sun will set almost at 23:00, only to rise again slightly after 03:00. Next year we will take all our three kids and just go sailing for a year with our Sun Odyssey 42.2...

[E03] Solar Arch power up! - Custom made and factory built
มุมมอง 8957 หลายเดือนก่อน
To be self sufficent at sea, we need more power! We are going to build and install a massive arch that fits enough solar panels, and also store our dinghy. There are many designs and lots of work involved, but does it have to be that complicated? Recently we found Baltic Solar Arches that produce standardized solar arches, according to our own measurements. With just some measurements we made o...
