Adventures in Ecuador

I’ll be honest: Ecuador is a country I loved visiting, but I’d hate living there. Ecuador is blessed with gorgeous nature split into three different eco systems: The Amazon, the Andes Mountains and the beaches along the coast. All three are completely...

St. Lucia to Panama

When I last posted an update I was in Mustique with my charter guests. We sailed from Mustique to Bequia and from there all the way to Soufriere on St. Lucia, had an overnight stop there, before we sailed up to Rodney Bay, where the charter ended. The...

Bei Dai He Camping Trip

After spending all of July on the soaring Tibetan plateau it took exactly 2 weeks before it was time to head out on a new adventure. Since any mountain around Beijing would feel a bit bland with Everest so fresh in my memory, we decided to head to the...

Cruising the Caribbean

After months of no traveling, it was finally time to move my closet into my suitcase and head to the airport. I started my traveling day in style with a good lunch with Tine and James, followed by a nice and relaxing foot massage. The foot massage was...

Beach Camping

With a bus packed full of girls, food, beer and booze, we set off to Qing Huang Dao to camp on the beach. The fact that guys weren't fighting to get in on the trip baffled me, but Vinny and I had the fortune to be alone with 8 girls on a nice secluded...

Skiing in Nanshan

The sky was blue, the air was crisp; in fact it was tough to believe that we were in Beijing. We (Steffi, Christopher, Nicole and I) loaded up in Nicole's car and hit the road to Nanshan. After about 45 minutes a speck of white formed on the brown horizon....

Tahiti

After what seemed like way too short a time in the Tuamotos, we sailed to Tahiti. We went there to celebrate Jacob's 30th birthday and to do a crew change. When I say Tahiti most people think of honeymoons. When I think of Tahiti, I think of one long...

Palmerston

Welcome to paradise. If you haven't been to Palmerston, don't plan on flying here. The nearest airport is 2 days away on a fast moving motor boat. Besides the supply ship that shows up here every 3 - 6 months, the only other contact with the outside World...

Marquesas

When I say that I am in the Marquesas, most people have no clue where it is, in fact I think few people would be able to find them on a map unless they knew precisely where to look. When I say they are in the South Pacific, people picture white beaches,...

Crossing the Pacific

The longest stretch most sailors do without a chance to stop is normally the leg from Galapagos to the Marquesas in French Polynesia. It took us 20 days and 18 hours from when we lifted anchor in San Cristobal to when it was firmly set again 2984 nautical...

Amazing Galapagos

The word amazing actually does a poor job at explaining how unbelievable our stay on Galapagos has been. I sit here on anchor just off San Cristobal in Wreck Bay reflecting on the last week and a half and I can really say that I've thoroughly enjoyed...

Through the Panama Canal

We were more than finished with Colon when the Canal Autority finally gave us the green light to go through the Canal. We were going together with a small flotilla of boats that they had delayed for a number of days. When I went to settle my bill at Shelter...

Grenada to Mustique

We arrived on Grenada after a 93 nautical mile motorsail against wind, waves and current. I attempted sailing at first, but when the current was so strong that I was only able to sail at a whopping 1.5 knots and in a very unfavorable direction, I said...

Sailing through Venezuela

The stay on Las Aves was sensational. It had everything a good anchorage should have: A deserted island with a beautiful beach, nice scenery, stunning sunsets and spectacular snorkling. We had made a deal with Ian and Westa, so the first evening we enjoyed...

Christmas spirit is upon us ... not really ...

After a very relaxing day it was nice to head ashore to our evening reservation at the aptly named, "It rains fishes" restaurant. Though their spelling might be questionable, their food wasn't. My charter guests treated me to an unbelievable Christmas...

Operational Again

African Innovation is fully operational again. But I get ahead of myself. I also realize that on the picture above I'm tied up to the dock, so while I'm not mobile per say, I have the potential to be mobile, or said in a different way: I could be mobile...

Tibet 2006 Part II

After coming back from the first trek where we almost fell into the potentially fatal clutches of altitude sickness, it was nice to chill out at 3700 meters in Lhasa (I say “we”, because I’m traveling with Torstein, a buddy from Norway). We didn’t linger...

A new visitor means a new trip to the Great Wall. This time Katie was in town. She's a cousin of Campbell, a very good friend of mine who recently moved back to the US. Katie will stay with us for a week, before she shoots off to Singapore. As it was...

The adventure has started

Petar and I finally walked off the Vision of the Seas at 12:45 on November 19th. Needless to say it felt great to be off what by now felt like a prison. Doing an 8 month contract is not to be recommended. Having said that, I still had a lot of fun, but...

Crossing the Atlantic

(More pictures and video will soon be posted) Crossing the Atlantic in a sailboat truly is an adventure of a lifetime. It’s one of those things many people speak off, some people dream off and a very few people do. When I left Norway on Sept. 22nd I had...

Gran Canaria her we come

After 2 days in Oeiras we were ready to take off. The stay had been short, but sweet. It had climaxed in our epic “Capture the Flag” and we were definitely ready to feel the wind grab a hold off the sails again. We set sail in the afternoon when the wind...

Bai He Camping Trip

A 100% Me(n)tal Trip to Norway
