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.

At 0700 UTC - day 3 - Roschier Baltic Sea Race: “Tschüss is in 30-35 knots of wind and it has been a bit bumpy!” commented Campbell Field, Tschüss 2 navigator on Monday morning 29th July. “Our ETA is a bit tricky to predict because our polars say we should be at 20 knots, but that wasn’t possible with this sea state. Right now (0800 UTC), the sea state has eased up a bit, the throttle is wide open, two reefs and the J4 on and hitting 24kt of boat speed at times. 96nm to go!”
