Special Edition: Family Reunion On Polaris

Welcome to our latest sailing adventure, where a family reunion and thrilling winter sailing collide! Join us as we embark on a memorable journey from Largs Yacht Haven to Tarbert, accompanied by two of our three beloved boys and their partners. These moments are truly cherished, as our nomadic lifestyle rarely allows for such joyful gatherings. Our adventure begins in Edinburgh, where the entire Clan comes together for a few unforgettable days exploring the historic city. The vibrant energy and rich heritage of Edinburgh set the perfect stage for our family bonding time, creating memories that will last a lifetime. After bidding farewell to the city, Jodok, Constantin, and their partners join us on board Polaris, ready to embark on an ice-cold adventure. As we set sail towards Tarbert on the stunning Kintyre Peninsula, we encounter the raw beauty of Scotland's rugged coastline and embrace the elements that come our way. One of the highlights of our journey is a delightful lobster barbecue on the pontoon, where we savour the taste of freshly caught seafood while sharing laughter and stories. It's a true feast for the senses, as the aroma of grilled lobster fills the air and the sound of joyous conversations echoes across the marina. As we navigate the chilly waters, we experience the thrill of a lively sail back to Largs Yacht Haven, with the winter winds propelling us forward. The combination of sailing and breathtaking winter landscapes creates an atmosphere of exhilaration and awe. Join us as we capture the a part of our family reunion and winter sailing adventure, showcasing the beauty of Scotland's coast, the warmth of family bonds, and the invigorating spirit of the sea. Through stunning visuals and heartfelt moments, we invite you to be a part of our journey.

We are Kathrin and Daniel. We sail, cruise and live aboard our sailing yacht SV Polaris Helvetica, a Bavaria Cruiser 46 since spriung 2021. We left our native Switzerland and moved to the UK almost two decades ago. In 2021, in our mid 50-ies, after our three boys left the nest we made a big decision. We left the rat race in London behind and made our beloved sailboat our primary floating home. Over the years we have added a few things to Polaris. We got rid of the standard propane gas cooker and replaced it with an electric cooker and oven. We fitted a generator and changed to a lithium (LiFePo) house battery bank. We added a 1'200W solar arch and a water maker. With all these upgrades Polaris is now a comfortable live aboard yacht. We sail her along Britain's beautiful coastline and we live on her summer and winter. Kathrin loves cooking and baking on board. You will see some of her cookery wonders across our episodes. We completely fell in love with our new lifestyle although we had to make some tough decisions. We vacated our rented house in London and sold or gave away all our belongings that had no space on Polaris. What a very liberating feeling to be able to say that all we own is with us on our small sailing boat. There's nothing else to care about. We enjoy our new freedom. We explore new places, discover their history and we love making new friends along our way.
