Sailing is a 360-degree activity, you never know where your next “adversary” will come from 💨 ⛈️ Stay Salty, Greta and Michael on Zambezi #sailing #sailinglife #boatlife⚓️ #sailingadventure #liveaboardlife

it has been another epic day sailing in Maine ⛵️ #sailing #sailinglife #sailboat #boatlife⚓️ #liveaboard #sailboatlife

immensely grateful to be able to live this life 💙⛵️🐋 #sailing #sailinglife #sailboat #boatlife⚓️ #liveaboard #whale #whalewatching

ps: it was natural cork and will not harm anything of anyone #sailing #sailboat #sailingadventure #sailingtrip

probably not suitable for a storm 200nm off-shore, but otherwise this is how I will be sailing from now on ⛵️ Stay Salty, Greta and Michael Salty and Chic ✨ #sailing #sailinglife #sailboatlife #sailingadventure #liveaboardlife

⚓ We still shout at each other when we drop anchor and then act like nothing happened afterwards 😆 ⛵ I (Greta) still question if the boat will actually turn back upright when we start heeling 🍜 Sometimes offshore “dinners” are just cup noodles and that is totally fine 🛠️ We have clear job assignments that have not really changed in the last 7 years 🧽 We procrastinate when it comes to scrubbing the hull 🌊 We still have a lot to learn. Sailing is not something you can fully master in a classroom. Some lessons only come from being out there in the elements. Here is to embracing the quirks, the learning curves and the messy bits of life at sea. That is what makes the journey ours 💙 If you are dreaming about boatlife or curious about what it really takes to sail offshore, scroll to our link in bio. You will find resources, tips and a glimpse into the reality of living on the water so you can start charting your own course.

Hereby, I officially submit the term “decor marina” to the nautical jargon ⛵️ #sailing #boats #boating #sailboat #catamaran #sailingadventure #liveaboardlife

I would like to thanks the 3 dolphins who decided to jump in the perfect moment 🐬 #sailing #sailinglife #boatlife⚓️ #liveaboard #sailingadventure

Sailing in Chile 🇨🇱 is not easy, but so worth it 🤩 Wanted to make a recap of the last 4 months sailing from Patagonia to NYC, but so much happened I barely fit 4 weeks into this Reel 😂 I will try to do better with the next recap 🫣 Stay Salty, Greta and Michael on Zambezi #sailing #sailinglife #sailboat #sailingadventure #liveaboardlife #sailboatlife

I can’t believe we are sooooo close 🤩🤩 only 460nm left to Canada 🇨🇦 crazy to think we only left Patagonia 3 months ago 🗺️ Get ready for the last stretch salty sailors ⛵️ the next few weeks will be more coastal exploration than offshore sailing 🦞 Stay Salty, Greta and Michael on Zambezi #sailing #sailinglife #boatlife⚓️ #liveaboard #sailingadventure #liveaboardlife

And this went on for 400nm 😳 not just for a few hours 🗺️ #sailing #sailinglife #boatlife⚓️ #liveaboard #sailingadventure

Sailing 6,000 nm in 5 months doesn’t leave much room for delays — the wind and weather decide when we sail and when we stay 🗺️. Every setback can be a challenge. Thanks to , this “little big problem” was resolved quickly, and we’re back on course, heading north! Stay Salty, Greta and Michael on Zambezi #sailing #sailinglife #sailboat #sailingadventure #liveaboardlife #boatwork

wow how time flies 😳 and to think it was a 2 year project 😅😂 #sailing #sailinglife #sailboat #boatlife⚓️ #sailingadventure #liveaboardlife

was it an ideal crossing? 100% no! but we will always celebrate arriving back to land safely 🌊 The one thing that boatlife has taught us is that it always can be worse 😬 being healthy and making it back to land still floating is the one and only thing that counts ⛵️ all the rest can be repaired 🛠️ Stay Salty, Greta and Michael on Zambezi #sailing #sailinglife #sailboat #boatlife⚓️ #liveaboard #sailingadventure #liveaboardlife

yes we do like sunset colors for Spinnakers 😅 but can you blame us? Winston (our Spinnaker on ForTuna 😉) has shown us in the last 4 years how epic these customised Designs look on the blue ocean and thanks to RollyTasker’s Design tool there are still many versions of sunset sails we can create 🌅🤩 What do you think? did we choose well or should we have opted for a new color mix? Stay Salty, Greta and Michael on Zambezi (thinking of ForTuna 😍⛵️) #sailing #sailinglife #sailboat #boatlife⚓️ #sailboatlife #liveaboard #spinnaker

nothing compares to the feeling of coloring another 100nm box 😂 When we go on a long passage I always prepare a “coloring” page for us to keep track of our progress and stats. On this 2.250nm passage from Chile to Panama I created - boxes for 100nm sailed - boxes for 24h at sea - note space for Motor Hours (MH) and Generator Hours (GH) Honestly on certain days this is the only thing that keeps me going 😅 when you are at sea surrounded by the “same” blu for days it is tricky to see progress, these little boxes help remind me that we are actually moving forward 🗺️ Stay Salty, Greta and Michael on Zambezi #sailing #sailinglife #boatlife⚓️ #sailboatlife #liveaboard #sailingadventure #offshoresailing

no matter which boat we are on, ForTuna will always be our home and first love 🤍⛵️ we will soon be back 🗺️ just need to sail another 2.500nm on Zambezi first 😋 Stay Salty, Greta and Michael on Zambezi #sailing #sailinglife #sailboat #boatlife⚓️ #liveaboard #sailingadventure #liveaboardlife

while we love the ocean 🌊 sometimes we need a break from sand and salt and we prefer to dip our toes in a swimming pool. Stay Salty, Greta and Michael on land ps: Michael hates the sand part 😂 he always say we own a sailboat so we can enjoy the ocean without having to touch the beach 🏝️ #sailinglife #boatlife⚓️ #sailboatlife #liveaboard #visitpanamá #panamá #panama

tell me you are not counting down the second to the thunder every lightning you see ⚡️⛵️🥺 and the worst part is we are just so helpless 😣 there is really nothing we can do than hope that it does not strike our mast.
