After months of living and sailing on our boat, we left Santana behind in the marina and traded ocean waves for winding roads?setting off on a three-week Morocco road trip with our two dogs. From the ancient streets of Fes Medina to a breathtaking Todra Gorge hike, from Moroccan tanneries to a cozy Moroccan cooking class, this episode captures the first half of a journey that was anything but smooth sailing. Floh wasn?t exactly thrilled about leaving the boat. Even though he loves Morocco, he had some solid reasons not to go?budget concerns, tricky logistics with the dogs, and more. I convinced him anyway. But as the Middle Atlas mountains rolled by and we wandered through Ifrane, past cheeky monkeys in the Cèdre Gouraud Forest, I started to wonder: Did I make the right call? 00:00 Intro: Our Route and...Will I regret this? 01:10 First Challenge: Getting the rental car 03:20 Quick stop-over in Meknes visiting the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail 04:20 Visiting Fes: exploring the Medina, searching for the Tanneries and marveling at the Al-Attarine Madrasa 07:42 Bonus: Moroccan cooking Class with our host Soukaina (Tajine b l'barkouk / Tagine with lamb and prunes) 09:04 Driving south across the Middle Atlas past Ifrane aka "Little Switzerland" 09:36 Hiking in the Cèdre Gouraud Forest with cheeky Berber Monkey 11:09 Yummy streetfood: Roadside Kofta snack 11:30 Driving to the Todra Gorge with stop over in Ziz-Canyon 12:48: Hiking the Todra Gorge 15:33 What I learnt from this trip about adventure road trips as a couple This isn?t just a travel vlog.

We?re turning south?sailing from Tangier to Rabat on an overnight passage that brings us into new waters? both literally and figuratively. With strong currents, a close encounter in the dark, and an uncertain harbor entry, this stretch of sailing Morocco was anything but predictable. From navigating the river mouth into Rabat to exploring the medina and soaking up the culture, this sailboat journey gave us a beautiful mix of challenge and charm. And just when things seemed to settle, I made a little proposal? one that I?m still waiting on an answer for from Floh. Will he say yes? Whether you dream of sailing to Africa, navigating new destinations by sailboat, or are just curious about the sailing couple lifestyle?this one?s for you.

Crossing the Strait of Gibraltar by sailboat is a milestone for many sailors?and now, it is our turn. After sailing from Al Hoceima to Ceuta putting us right at the entrance of the Straight, we chose a narrow weather window and motored across one of the world?s most infamous stretches of water. With orca sailboat attacks just a couple of days old and the unpredictable strong currents in the Straight of Gibraltar, we stayed alert and hoped we?d made the right call. This sailboat crossing of the Gibraltar Strait took us from Spanish Ceuta to Tangier, Morocco?our gateway into the Atlantic and into a new cultural experience. We share how we timed our departure with the shifting currents, why we opted for no wind, and what it felt like to be sailing from Ceuta to Tangier with the knowledge of recent orca sailboat attacks in the area. Arriving in Tangier by sailboat was smooth and filled with vibrant impressions. From our first steps into the medina to our quiet reflections after making the jump, this episode captures what it's like to experience Morocco by sailboat. If you're planning a Strait of Gibraltar sailboat journey?or just curious about sailing Morocco?this one?s for you. UNTIE THE LINES Season 8 Episode 14 (S8E14) ?

I had written Ibiza off?too touristy, too loud, too crowded. But this stop reminded me how important it is to let go of assumptions. Sailing into Ibiza in the off-season, I found quiet corners, golden light, and a slower rhythm that made me see the island in a whole new way. In this episode of Untie The Lines, we explore the ancient streets of Ibiza Old Town (Dalt Vila), pass through the impressive gates near the marina in Santa Eulalia, and hike out to the mystical Es Vedrà rock?also known as the Eye of Es Vedrà. We also visit Sa Pedrera, a surreal rocky landscape tied to the legends of Atlantis. It?s a short stopover as we wait out some heavy weather before continuing our sailing journey toward Africa, but it left a surprisingly deep impression. 00:00 Intro: Ibiza took me by surprise 00:51 Marina Santa Eulalia in Ibiza 02:42 Road Trip Ibiza Island: our plan for the day 04:21 Ibiza Old Town (Dalt Vila) 07:24 Hiking Sa Pedrera (the hidden Atlantis) 12:30 Hiking to the Eye of Es Vedra Rock (El Ojo de Es Vedra) If you're dreaming of living on a sailboat, curious about intentional travel, or drawn to the beauty of saltlife, this episode is for you.

After sailing over from mainland Spain, we?re now sailing the Balearic Islands, soaking up the beauty of nature and enjoying a bit of solitude at anchor at this unplanned surprise stop over on a tiny island. In this episode, I take you along for a slow, reflective morning filled with nature bliss, yoga, and some much-needed me-time. These quiet, grounding moments are a huge part of why I love this liveaboard sailing lifestyle. 00:00 Morning Yoga on Paradise Islands in the Balearic Islands 03:35 Solo Expedition on this magical island 05:25 Why it's so important to have me-time 07:22 What happened to our in-boom furling system on our Hallberg Rassy 35 09:15 Fixing our in-boom furling system on our Hallberg Rassy 35 But?as always?boat life also comes with the other kind of surprises...the things that break on the boat ;). After noticing some movement in the boom during our passage, we discover several loose or missing screws in our in-boom furling system. What starts as a quick fix quickly turns into a full sailboat rigging repair, with Floh removing and reattaching the boom using a lot of creativity, tools, and Loctite. If you?re curious about the realities of full-time cruising and the surprises that come with it, from peaceful mornings in beautiful places to the constant maintenance that comes with life on a sailboat, this episode offers a little bit of both. We?re also sailing with our two dogs, balancing life as a couple on board while finding our rhythm in new places. Whether you're dreaming of sailing the Mediterranean, preparing for your own cruising lifestyle, or just love the mix of calm and chaos that defines this journey?welcome aboard.

With no wind and cold, still conditions, we relied mostly on the engine?so Floh gave our Volvo Penta a thorough check before departure. Wrapped in woolly hats and blankets, we settled into the rhythm of a quiet passage, keeping things moving with snacks, small chores, music, and laughter. But mid-passage, we noticed strange movement in the boom. The calm conditions had caused the sail to flop back and forth, shaking a few rivets loose in our in-boom furling system. Thankfully, Floh managed a clever DIY boom repair while underway, getting the sail functional again just in time for some actual wind. In the final stretch, Santana finally spread her wings, sailing beautifully through the Med. This is real sailing life?moments of calm, unexpected challenges, and the quiet joy of figuring things out as we go. If you're curious about the full-time cruising lifestyle, cold-weather sailing, or what it?s like to sail the Med in winter, this episode offers a true look at life on the water.

Life on a sailboat isn?t always about epic adventures or dramatic ocean crossings. Often, it?s about the simple moments?short sails to the next bay, waiting out weather, reparing our Autohelm 2000, going for a hike, and enjoying the slow rhythm of life on the water. This is the reality of the full-time sailing lifestyle, and honestly, we love these kinds of days just as much as the big, exciting ones. In this episode, we take you along for one of those quieter days aboard, where we move to a new anchorage, settle in, and take in the beauty of our surroundings. With our dogs on board, sailing with pets always means planning time for them to stretch their legs, so we head ashore for a hike along the Costa Brava, exploring the rugged coastline of Spain by sailboat. This is what real sailing life often looks like?slow travel, adapting to the conditions, appreciating the little things, and embracing the off-grid sailing life. Whether it's sailing the Med, finding a quiet spot to anchor, or just getting some work done in between boat projects, this is the kind of balance that makes living aboard so special. 00:00 Intro Anchored in Cala Canyelles (Costa Brava, Spain) 00:18 Reparing our old Autohelm 2000 01:41 Gloomy Moments at Anchor 02:14 Cooking on a Sailboat: Pancake Mornings at anchor 03:38 Bad Weather is passing by and moving the boat to the next bay 04:22 Arriving in Lloret de Mar (Costa Brava, Spain) and going for a hike with the dogs If you?ve ever wondered what living on a sailboat really feels like, this episode gives you a glimpse into the everyday joys of this lifestyle.

For the past 12 years, I?ve been living and traveling on my sailboat, Karl. But alongside my love for the open water, I?ve realized that I?m also longing for something different?something slower, more grounded, and closer to the people I love. And so, a new journey begins: stepping into the world of canal boat life and searching for a floating home on Europe?s waterways. In Roots on Water, I take you along as I navigate the process of buying a canal boat, figuring out what it takes to transition from sailing life to barge life, and exploring what makes living on a canal boat so special. From the thrill of boat hunting to the challenge of choosing the right vessel, this series is about more than just how to buy a canal boat?it?s about redefining what home means when you live a nomadic life on the water. Whether you?re curious about houseboat living, fascinated by Dutch barges and narrowboats, or simply love a good travel vlog, this journey is for anyone drawn to alternative living, slow travel, and life on the water. Join me as I search for the right boat, embrace the adventure of a canal boat journey, and step into a new chapter of off-grid living. Welcome to Roots on Water. Roots on Water S1E01 ?

As we continue sailing the Mediterranean on our way from France to Spain, we?re closely watching the forecast and planning our sailing route to stay ahead of approaching winter storms. After an overnight sail, we drop anchor in a stunning bay along the Costa Brava, but with strong winds on the horizon, it?s time to move again. In this episode, we share how we go about choosing a safe anchorage, adjusting our plans based on the weather, and making the most of the Mediterranean cruising life?from breathtaking hikes along the Mediterranean coastline to navigating the realities of full-time sailing. With our two dogs on board, every stop is also a chance to explore new places on land, making this liveaboard sailing adventure even more special. One important discovery on this journey is that I don't have any expectations since I am not the one who planned this trip. With no expectations, everything little thing becomes a positive surprise. It feels good to let go and just go with the Flo(w) ;). 00:00 Intro Anchored in Costa Brava Spain with our Hallberg Rassy 01:30 Starting our Sailing Trip to Cala Canyelles discussing bad weather threats 05:14 Stunning Anchor Bay Cala Canyelles Spain 07:06 Stunning Hiking Trip along the Costa Brave with our dogs 14:21 Very pretty beaches - but are we lost?

In this episode, we set off on our first passage of this new chapter, sailing together on Floh?s Hallberg Rassy 35. While the boat is familiar to him, it?s new to me, and this journey was all about learning to sail his boat together in slightly stronger conditions. Having sailed on my own boat before, I found myself comparing how I run my boat to how things work on his, adjusting to a different setup and decision-making process. This overnight passage in the Mediterranean in winter became even more of a challenge when the autopilot stopped working, leaving us hand steering the sailboat through shifting winds and rolling waves. Though exhausting, it was also a great way to get a real feel for the boat, understand how she handles, and start building a connection with her. Join us as we navigate the realities of sailing without autopilot, making decisions as a team, and finding our rhythm on a new boat. If you're curious about sailing as a couple, adapting to a different sailboat, and the lessons learned from sailboat handling on passage, this episode is for you!
