Happy New Year

Happy New Year from Mustique I'm anchored off amazing Mustique in the SVG. Tonight we're celebrating New Years Eve in Basil's Bar on the beach. Right now Lauren is onboard with me and I have an excellent couple (Roar and Monika) chartering with me. Life...

Kicking it in Maryland and D.C.

When Knut and I arrived in Povoa de Varzim, I knew he was going home to work, before rejoining me on Gran Canaria in November, but I had no idea if anyone would be able to join me for the sail down to Gran Canaria from Portugal. That particular sail is...

Chilling in a hot spring on Steffi's Birthday

Steffi's birthday was an excellent opportunity to dodge out of Beijing to enjoy some quality time in nature. After looking at our options, everything pointed in the direction of the XYG resort about an hour North of Beijing. It came warmly recommended...

Tibet 2006 Part I

I'm now in Lhasa at 3700 meters above sea-level ... Tibet is a great place, where even the lowest laying area is higher than Norway's tallest mountain. You quickly learn to calculate where you're going in Tibet. Not how far it is, but how high it is....

Kjetil visits and we go to Yunnan

Ever since I first came to China I've been dreaming about exploring South China. When Martin (my brother) was here we travel to Sanya the southern most place in China, but it was more of a beach holiday than a true exploring trip. Therefore I jumped at...

I'm BACK!!!

Time has flown ... I can't believe that almost a year has passed since my last blog entry. If anything, it proves that I've been busy, and haven't been traveling much. The only traveling I've done has been a couple of trips home to Stavanger and working...

Ups and downs

Today is the last day I am alone on board the boat, hopefully for a long time. I'll get back to why later. First I want to look at how my time on Curacao has gone since the last charter was over. When the family of 5 walked ashore, they gave me a few...

La Playita, Taboga and Las Perlas

I can't explain how good it felt to finally be in the Pacific. Our plan was to be on our way as soon as possible ... That plan kind of backfired, because we ended up spending over 2 weeks getting ready, provisioning and doing small jobs on the boat. La...

Happy New Year

Part 1 (Written on the last day of 2009) The last day of the year is always a day of reflection for me. It is a day I look back and remember the good and the bad times, the people I liked and loved ... and the people I wished would have a well deserved...

Povoa de Varzim to Gran ... Peniche I mean

I was planning to set sail as soon as my latest crew member Trond came down from Norway. Unfortunately the winds wanted it otherwise, so we ended up spending two extra days in Povoa before we finally cast off. The winds were going with us, but at strengths...

Amsterdamming

Having arrived safely in Amsterdam, Lauren and I set out to enjoy ourselves in town. Though I had a long list of things I wanted to do with the boat, Lauren only had a few days before she had to return home to the US, so I took the time “off” to hang...

Prekestolen (The Pulpit rock)

With the boat tied up in Egersund, we decided to do a bit of hiking in the area around Stavanger. One of the most visited places in the vicinity is called the Pulpit rock or Prekestolen in Norwegian. I had to show Lauren what proper Norwegian nature looks...

Turning 30

(Sorry ... only in Norwegian ... This is the answer I sent my brother, when he asked me to write what it felt like to turn 30) Herregud! I dag når jeg våknet opp var jeg blitt 30! … 30 … Jeg var usikker på om panikk ville gripe meg og lurte på hva som...

On the road again ... actually ... on the sea again!

Hung-over, tired and with a funky stomach: I have to admit defeat. TheNingbo solution to jetlag (getting severely trashed forcing the body tofocus on getting rid of alcohol toxins instead of jetlag) did not workas planned in Vancouver. Since last time,...

Going Back

(This was sent to all my friends on August 23rd, 2005 ... 2 days before I boarded the plane bound for Beijing) What can I say? I'm a schmuck! Pick the most difficult language on the planet where 5 different pronunciations turns the same word into 5 wildly...

Smitten

It might not come as a big shock, but when I returned to Norway I was a changed man. I had been smitten and decided to return as soon as possible. Within one month I was back in China, which I guess shows just how certain I was. Moving to China meant...

Blue Monday

After a great 2008 with many ups and a few downs and a sensational exit out of it, 2009 has come to hit me in the face. It feels like getting fired on a Monday after a particular festive weekend. There are many reasons for this, chief amongst them that...

Crew changes

It is probably with the same amount of surprise that you read this, that I write it: Petar has decided that the sailing life is not for him ... and this before we even hit the water with the boat. Yesterday he went into town to do some internetting and...

The sun had just dipped under the horizon when Claudia released the mooring lines and I reversed one engine and put the other one forward, spinning us on the spot and turning our aft end to Bonaire. This was to be the big test to see how things would...

The decision has been taken. I am not sailing back to Norway ... Not yet anyway ... I take that back. I am still sailing back to Norway, but instead of sailing home in an Easterly direction I'm doing it in a Westerly direction. I'm heading into the Pacific...
