Going Aloft! Scaling A Mast on our Sailboat! After two months, our mast has been stepped on our sailboat and this is the final ascent! Going Aloft for the final time! Kent Morrow from North Sound Rigging in Anacortes was a rock star Rigger. We converted from rod to wire--and he was super professional and so much fun. And now, our new adventure is upon us! We are a new sailing couple. If you dig our journey, we would love you to join us on our blog: www.gypseaexplorer.com or any of our social channels. Cheers!

Sailing Around Šibenik at Sunset: A Journey Through Adriatic Serenity Imagine the sun dipping below the horizon, casting a warm golden hue across the Adriatic Sea, as your sailboat gently glides through the calm waters. This is the enchanting experience of sailing around Šibenik at sunset—a journey that captures the essence of Croatia’s stunning coastline and the timeless allure of the sea. The Allure of Šibenik’s Coastline Šibenik, a historic city nestled along Croatia’s Dalmatian coast, is known for its medieval charm, UNESCO World Heritage sites, and crystal-clear waters. While the city itself is a treasure trove of culture and history, the surrounding waters offer a different kind of magic. The coastline around Šibenik is dotted with hidden coves, pristine beaches, and unspoiled islands, making it a perfect destination for sailing enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Setting Sail at Golden Hour As the day begins to cool and the sun starts its descent, the Adriatic Sea transforms into a mirror, reflecting the vibrant colors of the sky. This is the golden hour, a time when the world feels softer, the colors richer, and the atmosphere more serene. Setting sail at this time allows you to experience the beauty of Šibenik’s coastline in a way that is both intimate and awe-inspiring. As you sail away from the city’s harbor, the silhouette of St. Michael’s Fortress looms behind, a reminder of Šibenik’s storied past. The gentle breeze fills your sails, and the only sounds are the lapping of waves against the hull and the occasional call of seabirds. Discovering Hidden Gems One of the joys of sailing around Šibenik is the freedom to explore at your own pace. As you navigate the calm waters, you’ll come across secluded bays and uninhabited islands where you can drop anchor and take a dip in the crystal-clear sea. The nearby Kornati Islands National Park, with its labyrinth of over 80 islands, is a must-visit. Here, the rugged beauty of the islands contrasts beautifully with the deep blue of the sea, creating a landscape that is both dramatic and peaceful. A Sunset to Remember As the sun inches closer to the horizon, the sky bursts into a palette of oranges, pinks, and purples. The water, too, takes on these hues, creating a surreal and breathtaking view. This is the perfect time to pause, breathe, and take in the beauty of the moment. Whether you’re enjoying this experience alone, with a loved one, or with friends, the feeling of tranquility and connection to nature is profound. For those who enjoy photography, the sunset over the Adriatic provides endless opportunities to capture stunning images. The play of light on the water, the silhouettes of distant islands, and the ever-changing colors of the sky make for unforgettable shots. Returning to Shore As the last rays of sunlight fade and the stars begin to twinkle overhead, your journey comes to an end. The twinkling lights of Šibenik welcome you back to shore, where you can continue your evening in one of the city’s cozy waterfront restaurants, enjoying fresh seafood and local wine. Sailing around Šibenik at sunset is more than just a boat ride; it’s an experience that stays with you long after the journey is over. It’s a moment of peace, beauty, and connection with the natural world that captures the essence of what makes Croatia’s coastline so special. Whether you’re an experienced sailor or a first-time visitor, this is an experience you won’t want to miss. So, hoist your sails and set your course for the golden horizon—adventure and tranquility await in the waters around Šibenik.

We are two crazies from South Africa, Frik & Petro. We knew absolutely nothing about sailing, but the ocean has always been calling. So, we got rid of all our stuff, bought a Leopard 45 Catamaran, and set sail. Follow us as this story unfolds! This is a sea-life adventure captained by a couple of nomads who have built their lives on doing what inspires them in the moment. Join us and see how we break free of the traditional lifestyle, creating videos of our journey, adventures, life on board, and lessons learned along the way. It will be super rewarding if we can be an inspiration or contribute in any way to anybody wanting to fulfil their dreams. Follow us on our journey as we learn from legends when Sailing La Vagabonde upgraded from a monohull to a catamaran...SV Delos wants to upgrade to the latest Amel 51 monohull.... Gone with the Wynns chose a Leopard Catamaran and now upgraded to a HH44OC.... choices choices choices. We looked at other sailing channels such as Wicked Salty, Satori, Jessica and Ryan, Catamaran Impi, MJ Sailing, Happy Together, Sailing Uma, Sailing Yacht Ruby Rose, Zingaro, Miss Lone Star, Sailing Doodles, Drenched, Lucky Fish gets Away, RAN Sailing, Out Chasing Star, Follow the Boat, Rigging Doctor, Sailing Lady Africa, Abandon Comfort, and many others to find our answers and solutions, whilst we prepared our yacht in Cape Town, South Africa. SISU (Finnish concept) is a grim, gritty, white-knuckle form of courage in situations where success is against the odds. Taking action against the odds and displaying courage and resoluteness in the face of adversity, in other words, deciding on a course of action and then sticking to that decision even despite repeated failures.
