Photos taken with my professional camera (Klintholm DK - Ystad SWE - Hanö SWE - Tjäro SWE). Our sailboat will start its return journey from Karlskrona to our home port Fleckeby...

Yay, finally in Stockholm, albeit in a different way than originally planned. We arrived in Karlskrona without any problems on Sunday and moored the boat there for a few days....

Today we drove to Aspö, a skerry just before Karlskrona, with a bright blue sky and 0.0 wind under the engine. The harbor is small and quiet, and we saw a supermarket again...

Today, with heavy hearts, we had to leave our beautiful bay at Tjärö and make our way towards Karlskrona to easily catch the train there on Sunday. On the way, we made a stop at...

Haha, what an adventure this morning, but we actually managed to moor at the rock! The Swedes have hammered rings into the rocks in their secluded bays, which can be used for...

We are in paradise 💙 The last two exhausting weeks have been worth it. We are on the island of Tjärö, surrounded by other islands. The area is fantastic. The journey here went...

Today we started with the Swedish island hopping in the Hanö bay. The first island to explore, Hanö, gives its name to the entire bay and is very popular among both Swedes and...

Ha! After the little mood low yesterday, the continuous rain has actually stopped and Windfinder has also slightly corrected its wind forecast, so today we finally set sail and...

We have been in Simrishamn since yesterday. A small village at the beginning of Hanö Bay. The bay with the archipelago was our goal, and now it is in sight. But we haven't been...

We have been in Ystad since yesterday. The small town on the Swedish south coast is quite interesting. It reminds me a little of Lüneburg, even though some buildings could also...

We made it! After 8.5 hours, we arrived today at the Gislövsläge port in Trelleborg (SWE). We set three records: the longest distance (38 nautical miles), the highest top speed...

The storm came faster than expected and unfortunately kept us in Hesnaes for another day. That's why we didn't continue our journey until this morning. Since there is still a...

Just a quick update from us today. After a lovely sunny day in Gedser yesterday, enjoying deluxe homemade pizza and stand-up paddling, we set sail again today with our remaining...

Although the headline may seem a bit dramatic, it perfectly sums up our day today. We are in Denmark (Gedser)! But don't ask how we got there. First of all, Benny got stung by a...

We are now on Fehmarn. However, the mood has reached rock bottom. The weather is 1. bad, lots of thunderstorms and constant rain 2. during the day mostly not as the weather...

This morning we were woken up by thunderstorms and rain, so we didn't set sail until noon. We spent the rain front baking fresh bread rolls on board :-) Afterwards, the weather...

We are in Marina Wendtorf near Laboe. The day was... let's say exhausting. It started with us not being able to hoist the mainsail when leaving Damp. When we finally got going,...

After 8 hours today we reached our first Baltic Sea destination Damp. The weather was almost perfect. Sunny but not too hot. Windy but not too much. We mostly motored through...

Tag 1 and already things are going differently than expected. After traffic jam and endless stop-and-go in the traffic chaos of Hamburg, we arrived at the boat much later. After...

On the map, you can slowly imagine the dimensions of our trip... One question I have been asked frequently: Do you have a specific plan? Well, kind of. When sailing, you can...

Four more days, the excitement is slowly rising. Besides thinking about what to pack, we also have to plan for our absence at home. My neighbor will take care of my plants and...

... which is not quite right in this case, because you shouldn't take suitcases on board, there's no space for them. Bags, backpacks, and bags are better. The more important...

The preparations are underway, it's slowly getting serious. On July 7th, 23 we will set sail with our Roede Orm from Fleckeby in Schleswig Holstein to Sweden. The furthest trip...
