This week our boatlife brings us to Stromboli in the Aeolian Islands, where we are anchored right next to Megayacht Feadship - formerly known as Steve Jobs' Yacht 'Venus'. We realized that Italy is not just a sailing destination for charter boats and cruisers but also a stopover for many superyacht owners, who want to get a glimpse of the volcanoes and beautiful coastline of Lipari, Vulcano, Salina, Stromboli, Filicudi, Alicudi and Panarea. I guess in the sailing lifestyle you always get surprised: One day you see Stromboli erupting right from the deck of your sailboat and the next day you wake up to have Steve Jobs' luxury yacht anchored next to you. But 99% of the time it is doing jobs in exotic places, covered in oil, salt and fiberglass.

A yacht tacks right in front of two small dinghies — forcing them to swerve at the last second! 😱 One almost tips over as water splashes across the lens. A realistic, heart-stopping sailing moment caught on camera! #Sailing #CloseCall #TackingTrouble #SailingLife #BoatRacing #OceanDrama #YachtRace #DinghyLife #SailingAction #EpicSailing

This was the first video I ever tried to film. I needed a distraction from what was ahead of me. 3 years ago, with a keel and hull flexing issue back in Scotland. I almost start tearing up remembering this terrible time. The yard was quite far from home, so I had to sleep in the car at the carpark, eat ready meals from the supermarket and shower wherever. This little issue bankrupted me! Literally!! But I leave that for another time. Still, it seems appropriate for a throw-back-thursday :) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9W4L77A-Rw/
