Mom visits

My mother got a great Christmas present this year: Tickets to go and visit me in Beijing. It was a good present for me too, because it's not every day you get your mom visiting when you live on the other side of the globe. The pressure was definitely...

Bora Bora

Bora Bora has been amazing. The image above is from a hike we did to the top of the 2nd tallest mountain on the atoll/island. I'm holding Bret and Chad off Broken Compass's huskie Makai. Here are my feelings after getting to the top after what was a relatively...

Moorea

I was very happy to make the short sail to Moorea, because I had heard so much nice about the place. It delivered in full. We did one day of snorkling, where we started at 8 am, diving with 8 - 10 feet long lemon sharks. They were big, but minded their...

A Brand New Day

Before Petar sent me the text message that he was going home I was busy deciding on what to do onboard the boat, because it is/was a bit of a mess here. Thank God I had just bought a new cooler and had restocked it like one should. The milk is for White...

Christmas 2006 in Austria

At exactly 11:00 a.m. I opened my eyes and noted that I was fully dressed in bed. That the room was spinning indicated that I was in the preliminary stages of a severe hang-over. What was supposed to have been a quiet night out had ended with all-out...

Seeing Aruba through a paintbrush

We didn't have to worry about fading hang-overs, because a Saturday night on Aruba, no matter where you are, sucks ... We hit the most popular haunts and it felt like some sort of plague had struck. There simply wasn't anyone out. When we spoke to some...

Hard work on Aruba

What's missing from this trolley? Answer: Petar's backpack (The one in the picture is mine).So Petar spent his first exciting hour on Aruba filling out a lost luggage report. Having overcome that hurdle, we jumped into an incredibly overpriced taxi to...

Picking up African Innovation

With no small amount of nervousness I stepped onto the tarmac at Schipol and made my way to the bus to the terminal. Contrary to what you might expect when you're going to your new home, I had very little luggage with me. A small backpack and 2 waterproof...

Sailing home

With Torstein and Frode onboard and ready for action there was only one thing for us to do: Set Sail! At 5:30am we rolled out of bed, unplugged the shore power, took a last picture and cast off. The engines purred like kittens and got us out of the marina...

Fort Lauderdale

After a nice and non too strenuous flight (we basically slept the whole way, owing to the late night in Lisbon) we finally got to the Sunshine state. The next 6 days was spent sight-seeing, going to museums and ... I can't think of a third lie ... hmmm...

3rd Travel Log from China

Good news and bad news ... I found Kashmir and the Pakistani border,but was outfoxed by Osama. I have a feeling I was hot on his trail, but I was left in the dust. So it looks like I won't be able to claim the reward money of whatever ridiculous sum his...

First overnight on the Great Wall

After having a great time in Sanya and a few nice days in Beijing, it was time to top off my brother, Martin’s, visit with an overnight on the Great Wall. Though this was my 4th time on the Wall, it was the first time I'd head up there to sleep. Last...

An illegal stop in Fiji

When we sailed away from Tonga the plan was to sail straight to Tanna in Vanuatu. That did not happen, because the winds abandoned us 20 nm away from the Lau islands (part of Fiji) a full 700 nm away from Vanuatu. Being a bit unorthodox, I decided to...

Tanna and the Volcano

Tanna in Vanuatu is all about the volcano, so needless to say when we were there, we were all about the volcano. It was awesome. We spend an entire afternoon and an hour after dark witnessing the fury of the volcano. It is amazing. Anywhere else on the...

Adventures in Niue

Whales, Speight's, road-tripping, cave-diving, snorkeling, curry and nightclubbing sums up our sensational 2 1/2 day stay on Niue. Talk about a whirlwind tour de force of an island. I did my best Angel of Death sweat on my back when I checked us in with...

Hanging in Tonga

The trip from Niue to Tonga was a fast one. Our stay on Tonga was almost faster. It basically boiled down to hanging out in Vava'u for a couple of days, before we did a couple of cave dives and then sailed on for Vanuatu. The reason for this sudden increased...

Waiting in Colon

The Pacific team is finally united. They arrived on the boat a little after midnight and we proceeded straight into some beer sampling, so that we would know which beer to bring with us into the Pacific. We were in Shelter Bay Marina, about 30 minutes...

Sailing in the Gulf of Thailand

There is something not right about having a girlfriend that’s never been on board a sailboat when you’re planning a circumnavigation. This trip to Thailand was a great way to remedy that, while introducing Steffi to the pleasures of sailing. I had chartered...

Steffi and I hit Bai He

In June 2007 a busload of us headed to Bai He to recapture the glory of the camping trip we had in May 2006. Needless to say we didn't find Bai He that time. Yes, it is possible not to find it, if you're driver takes the wrong way. Steffi and I set out...

Another Day in Paradise

I’m currently anchored in Prince Rupert Bay in Dominica. I would go ashore and explore the rainforest if it wasn’t for the fact that it’s pouring down. I know it’s a bit ironic, but I’m not talking about some light drizzle, it is bucketing down outside....
