Tearing up the West

Stepping off the plane in San Diego felt great. The temperature was comfortable, especially compared to freezing Beijing, and I had just embarked on a fantastic 5 week vacation filled to the rim with adventures and fun stuff. I’m dividing the trip up...

Chilling in Miami

Though Ecuador had been awesome it was nice to get back to civilization again. We went straight from the airport to Hertz and picked up a 2007 KIA. It served me very well in the week I was in Miami. We drove back to Rasmus’s flat on South Beach, dumped...

2nd Travel Log from China

I have by now gotten out of the LBB Bar in Ningbo (though I was a frequent visitor up until I left on Sunday). My time in Ningbo and Zhoushan was excellent. Not very historic...well, I did see a Buddha painted on a mountain wall, but I got to hangout...

Progress

I enjoyed my last night alone onboard, before the next day started flat out. I had Claudia joining later in the day and had some things to take care of first, because the following day I would leave Curacao with a charter going to Bonaire and the plan...

Bodø

When I left Sydney I flew straight home to Stavanger. Even though it had been over 2 years since I was last at home, I didn't stay long … in fact I was only there for 5 days before I boarded a plane and flew on. This time my destination was far north...

7th time on the Great Wall

The day after the new James Bond movie "Casino Royale" came out, I have to admit it felt very correct to be conducting my 7th visit to the Great Wall. This time it was a team building trip with the people from work. Believe it or not, but there are Chinese...

Some images from the Caribbean

A lot of people have asked me to post some pictures from the Caribbean. I'll start with a small video taken when I took Marcus and Morten, two friendly Swedes I met in a bar in Le Marin, for a little cruise on my boat. This is the first swim I took in...

Changes

I am sitting on a comfortable divan overlooking Marigot on St. Martin while my boat is somewhere in the British Virgin Islands. Has the boat been stolen? … No. Have I sold the boat? … No, far from it. I have decided to take 4 months away from her to make...

Birthday Party

When you turn 30 you are supposed to have a big party, where everyone makes fun of you for not being married or even engaged. Thank God that's not the tradition in China! Here they just aim at having fun, no matter how old (or young) you are. Funny as...

6th time on the Great Wall

July month had been penciled into my calendar as the month Torstein would be visiting. Needless to say the Wall was at the top of our list of things to do while we were in Beijing. Our reasons for going were two-fold. First of all, he had to become a...

Back and Forth

When I last posted I was in high spirits, because the boat was ready and it was time for me to head to Curacao to start my Christmas charter. I spent Saturday finalizing all the things that needed finalizing, getting everything sorted and in order. When...

4th Travel Log from China

I'm a bad person. After having spent so much time in the mountains, desert and off the beaten track I suppose it was to be expected. I just couldn't hack having 1.3 billion Chinese around me and in the airport on my way to Beijing it boiled over. There...

5th time on the Great Wall

Mao said that you can't call yourself a man until you've been on the Great Wall. This was my 5th time on the Wall ... Does that mean that I am 5 times the man of someone who hasn't been there ... or do they start to cancel each other out? Is it possible...

Starting the charter

I picked up my charter guests: Margrete, Harald, Torbjørn og Per Ove at West Punt, all the way north-west on Curacao in a small bay called Playa Forti. It was a good place to start the charter, because from there we would cover the entire southern coastline...

New Caledonia

After an awesome time with the volcano on Tanna it was time to lift anchor and move on. We had a really nice sail to New Caledonia, where we sailed straight to Noumea. We had planned to see more than just Noumea, but ended up staying there until we cast...

Tuamotos

This trip gets better and better and I think I have a new name for paradise: Tuamotos, because they are the same thing. Though arriving in the Tuamotos was like coming to Heaven (if you chose to believe in such things), we were close to having a catastrophic...

A day for the iron top-sail

Peniche wasn’t a bad place, but with no wind and no waves there was no point in sticking around there. It’s true we could have waited there, but I was advised to head further south, where the wind is more predictable and steady. The fact that there was...

2nd Charter

The second charter has gone smoothly. After a great little stop on Klein Curacao, we hit Bonaire and ended up staying there for 5 days. My charter guests really enjoyed Bonaire. They rented a car for a couple of days and drove around getting properly...

Fixing engines and going to Curacao

After spending a day recuperating from the failed attempt to get to Curacao it was time to get back to work and fix the engines, so that I could get to Curacao and start my Christmas charter. Clifford, my clutch mechanic, came by and we were able to narrow...

The Great Wall with Stein and Jeff

1 picture definitely speaks a 1000 words! Believe it or not, but it was many degrees below freezing, so standing with our pants around our ankles was no picnic. I was luckily able to stay somewhat warm running back and forth between the camera while we...

Christmas Eve 2007

Though this, technically speaking, is a traveling blog, I figured that writing a few words about Christmas Eve wouldn't hurt. The preparations for Christmas Eve started the day before, when we finished all our food and present shopping. I was responsible...

Hanging out in New York

It’s up to you New York, Neeeeew Yoooork! … It was up to New York to finish up my vacation in style and send me home depressed that it was already over. It succeeded on all counts, in no small part due to my buddy Campbell. I hadn't seen him since he...

SAS gave me a good Christmas present this year … well … indirectly at least. During December they had a Christmas calendar where they sold a new destination at rock bottom prices every day. The result was that my brother, Martin, was able to secure a...

Back on water

Yesterday I was very conflicted about being lifted back on water, because I only had one working engine, a windless that didn’t work properly and most importantly no place to tie up. Thankfully I had a chat with Ian and Westa (a very nice couple staying...
