The Story

It hit me 1,5 years ago that I will be turning 40 soon. Faithful to my image as “the man with the plan” I started thinking how to celebrate the occasion. After talking with some friends who had passed the milestone and listening to what they had done (from mountain climbing to heli-sking in Siberia) I agreed that it is time to start realizing your dreams. Something with a touch of excitement, extreme and exclusivity. For a sailor it did not take long to decide what it would be: crossing the Atlantic. The first leg in testing what every sailor keeps secretly thinking: how would it be to live in a boat, to sail the oceans of the world…

After getting a blessing for the idea from my dear wife Josefin who as a keen sailor herself celebrated the idea (that some wives quite understandably would have clearly stated as a ground for divorce), I contacted a group of my best friends. Needless to say they were ready to go.

Now after 1,5 years of waiting we are ready to go. Anticipating an exciting passage and eagerly waiting to meet my dearest, Josefin, Luna and Lucas in St. Lucia.
