Where were they going without ever knowing the way? That's a good question! Looking back on our past experiences with cruising sailboats, we always find ourselves in trouble while enjoying a glass of sangria in the Azores and Canary Islands. In 2014, after making our first Atlantic Ocean crossing from Miami to Horta (Faial), we got to talking about an aluminum boat that could one day take us to the Arctic. We had high hopes, and lots of delusions, that we could complete a 9 month full refit on this hunk of metal that had been abandoned in Southern Florida for 10 years. 2.5 years after moving her from storage to the work yard (and that was after crossing BACK across the Atlantic to return on our first cruising boat to Florida), we did splash the Alu boat and head out for a grand adventure. Completing our goal of sailing her into the Arctic Circle, we had been wintering over in the UK when we decided to escape the cold for a few weeks and take advantage of incredibly cheap flights to Tenerife. Think $140 round trip. Sitting in a Montaditos, we discussed how poor the aluminum boat was at sailing, and how much we missed the performance cruiser of our previous Sabre. But...multihulls were the future, and honestly, I was tired of getting seasick from every passage we went on. Mart had hopes for another refit, but I was adamant that the kind of time and effort we'd have to dedicate would be much better spent on a new build. We researched home builds and were eventually contacted by Max Cruise in the process. Once again delusions took over as we thought we could complete this build in 2 years. As you can see, we're already well past that, with at least another year on the horizon. Would I change ANYTHING about the steps we've taken in the past or where it has lead us now? Absolutely not. This is exactly where I'm supposed to be in my life, and when this catamaran does hit the water, I know I'll be filled with nothing but pride and joy. 🤩⛵

Driver cruises through a red light. I'm guessing driver was distracted and didn't even notice.

Intro zu unserem YouTube-Video "Gestrandet auf Ærø. Wie ein Sturm unseren ersten großen Südsee-Törn stoppte". Moin! Wir sind Rika und Johannes aus Hamburg. Zusammen mit Rikas Schwester Julia hat uns vor ca. vier Jahren das Segelfieber gepackt. Seitdem ist die Hamburger Außenalster unser Heimatrevier. Hier liegt unser Kielzugvogel „Knysna“ [ˈnaɪzna] (benannt nach einer Stadt in Südafrika), den wir uns im April 2021 zugelegt haben. Während der Wintersaison der letzten beiden Jahre haben wir uns step-by-step dem Refit unseres Vollholzboots gewidmet. Ein bis dahin völlig unbewandertes Terrain für uns, aber: man wächst an seinen Herausforderungen. Neben der Außenalster zieht es uns immer wieder an die Ostsee, insbesondere die Dänische Südsee mit ihren kleinen Inseln und dem teils kristallklaren Wasser hat es uns angetan — das perfekte Revier, um die eigenen Segel-Skills Stück für Stück zu erweitern. Auf Instagram (@unter.segeln) und auch gelegentlich hier bei YouTube nehmen wir euch mit in unsere kleine Segel-Welt. ----- Unser erstes YouTube-Video folgt nächste Woche Sonntag (03.09.2023) von einem Teil unseres zweiwöchigen Törns durch die Dänische Südsee. Was der Sturm "Zacharias" damit zu tun, erfahrt ihr nächste Woche. Zunächst hier erst einmal unser YouTube-Intro. ----- Bis bald, Rika, Julia & Johannes ⛵️ #segeln #sailing #boatlife #denmark #untersegeln Rechtliches / Lizenzen www.http://epidemicsound.com

This is the 5th water outage this month in Sunninghill. I don't know who got the tender for fitting the pipes in this neighbourhood, but they need to come back and redo the entire job. I can't remember one month we've made it through without at least one days water being cut.
