What is your favourite offshore meal? we had a rather calm 20 days at sea, so we enjoyed a lot of "normal" food without having to rely much on pre-cooked meals. I am also proud we managed to store fruit and veggies well and kept some of the fresh till the end. ? ??? ? ? tableware by @marinebusinessbarcelona #sailing #sailingadventure #offshoresailing #sailinglife #liveaboardlife

When it rains so heavy you can barely see your bow ?? that's not the moment you want your AIS alarm beeping ? While AIS is rather precise, we do not want to rely on it 100% when passing a boat only 0.2nm away. After 15 minutes of searching in the rain, you can imagine our relieve when we saw the container ship popping up between the clouds ?? and their heading was already passing behind us ?? day 17 sailing from Chile to Panama ?? sailed: 2.045 nm ? to destination: 155 nm ?? avg. on day: 14 kts ?? avg. on day: 5,2 kts ?? steering wire still holding ?

Calm but steady ?? we do not have a grill on ForTuna (our own sailboat) but after using it on Zambezi (the Catamaran we are currently sailing from Patagonia to Canada) we are strongly thinking about getting one.

Half way point ??? a bit later than we expected, but what can we do besides adjusting the sails and pray for stable winds ?? this evening we wont care, we enjoy the calm sea, have a nice (non-alcoholic) drink and watch a movie ? day 10 sailing from Chile to Panama ?? sailed: 1.110 nm ? to destination: 1.090 nm ?? avg. on day: 9 kts ?? avg. on day: 4,2 kts Stay Salty, Greta and Michael on Zambezi ps: in our link in bio you can find the Ocean Crossing Bundle which includes everything you need to know for offshore sailing ?? #offshoresailing #sailing #catamaran #sailinglife #sailingadventure #oceansailing

long crossing can be hard on your mental state ? sleep is little, your movements are restricted to the waves and wind ?? but these little moments close to nature make it all worth it ?? day 9 sailing from Chile to Panama ?? sailed: 1.010 nm ? to destination: 1.190 nm ?? avg. on day: 12 kts ?? avg. on day: 5 kts Stay Salty, Greta and Michael on Zambezi ps: in our link in bio you can find the Ocean Crossing Bundle which includes everything you need to know for offshore sailing ?? #offshoresailing #sailing #catamaran #sailinglife #sailingadventure #oceansailing

Okay I admit we do not train everyday ? and only fish when Poseidon deems as worthy ? but otherwise this would be an ideal offshore routine, as long as the repairs require small fixes ?? day 6 from Chile to Panama ?? sailed: 674 nm ? to destination: 1.525 nm ?? avg. on day: 6 kts ?? avg. on day: 4,6 kts Stay Salty, Greta and Michael on Zambezi ps: in our link in bio you can find the Ocean Crossing Bundle which includes everything you need to know for offshore sailing ?? #offshoresailing #sailing #catamaran #sailinglife #sailingadventure #oceansailing

Whats the secret? Honestly I do not know, on day 7 my patience run out, I was annoyed and angry the whole day, the little sleep was catching up with me and the fact that we were moving excruciating slowly at 2-4kts made me over-frustrated. If you have any tips on how to stay calm on low-wind days, feel free to share them in the comments.
