We Sailed From Norway to the Caribbean in One Small Boat!

Intro Sailing Thule: Small boat, Big adventure In 2002, we set sail from Norway in a small sailboat, ready to explore the world. We were just two adults and a young child on an adventure like no other. We navigated the waterways of Europe, watched dolphins play in the Mediterranean, and crossed the vast Atlantic Ocean to reach the Caribbean. We sailed through strong winds, and at times, no wind at all. We spent four months enjoying life on the beach. We even raced against legendary yachts like the Velsheda and the Windrose. Much of our time was spent at anchor. Occasionally sailing from island to island, soaking in the beauty of the Caribbean. In the middle of the Atlantic, we came to the aid of another yacht in need, sharing what resources we could in the vast emptiness of the ocean. Shortly after, dolphins joined us, leaping joyfully alongside the boat, and also a pod of whales appeared close by. Some days were utterly windless, the sea like a mirror. Other days, the winds were almost too strong. We stopped to sketch our memories in the Azores, drifted through a calm in the English Channel, and finally, after 13 unforgettable months, we returned safely to Norway. In this series of videos, you’ll relive our incredible journey from 2002 to 2003. The video quality might not be what you’re used to today—remember, this was over two decades ago! Back then, George W. Bush was president, Facebook and YouTube didn’t even exist, the first iPhone was five years away, and the Tesla Model S was still a distant dream. So, subscribe to this channel to join us on this nostalgic adventure and get a glimpse of what life was like at sea back then. And by the way, I even wrote two books about this journey. Stay tuned for more stories from the voyage of a lifetime. https://www.ark.no/forfattere/jarle-karlsrud https://www.ark.no/produkt/boker/hobbyboker-og-fritid/verden-er-liten-nar-vinden-er-god-9788293026105 https://www.ark.no/produkt/boker/skjonnlitteratur/det-er-forbudt-a-falle-over-bord-9788299807227
