That moment when the engine is turned off and you feel the peace of the ocean. Just the sound of the wind in the sails and the flow of water past the hull. A slight heeling of the boat, your hand on the steering, and you are away on another adventure....

Excerpt from our latest video

The sun sets, and with it, the familiar world fades into darkness. Doubt can slip in with the dark, a quiet voice whispering, "You're alone out here." But a true sailor knows this isn't the time for fear. This is the moment for courage. They don't fear the deep night; they welcome it. For centuries, our ancestors looked not to the shore but to the skies. They did not see a blank darkness, but a map of shining stars. They found their way by the unblinking eye of Polaris and the steady path of Orion. The stars remind us that the greatest journeys aren't measured by distance, but by the spirit that carries you through the unknown. So, as the last light fades, lift your eyes. Find your direction in the constellations. When you navigate by the stars, you must not fear the dark—you must see it as your guide. In the deepest night our adventurous spirit shines the brightest.

There’s an undeniable, almost primal pull we feel toward the ocean. It's a need that's been studied and given a name: *Blue Mind,* a term coined by marine biologist Wallace J. Nichols to describe the meditative, calming state we enter when near water. The vastness of the sea provides a powerful escape from the clutter of daily life, offering a sense of perspective that can make our own problems feel smaller. Beyond the mental relief, there are tangible physical benefits. The rhythmic sound of waves and the fresh, salty air—which contains a higher concentration of **negative ions**—can lower stress hormones, improve mood by boosting serotonin levels, and even promote better sleep. This is why a simple walk on the beach or a few minutes spent watching the tide ebb and flow can feel so restorative. Our connection to the ocean is also deeply rooted in our need for activity and inspiration. It provides a natural playground for everything from swimming and sailing to quiet reflection and artistic expression. Ultimately, the ocean gives us a chance to disconnect from the modern world and reconnect with a fundamental part of ourselves—a need for tranquility, wonder, and the powerful embrace of nature.

We have sailed from St Martin in the Caribbean to Horta in the Azores. 28 days at sea, 2538 nautical miles, 1 broken lower shroud and an oil leak in the engine. We arrived safely in Horta, Faial, Azores and dropped anchor. A beautiful island with really friendly people. Thank you to all of you who support us. We really appreciate every one of you 😁❤️

Fixing the toilet is an unpleasant job and you really don't want to see it. We joked about a video on the subject but thought better of it! So we made this instead for a laugh😁🤣
