I had myself detached from FB and Internet to re-organize my life here in SEA, hence my long silence.
Now my question to you: If I remember correctly you actually had planned to sail to Japan and than further north east to Alaska and the polar circle. Have you shelved this plan or is it only postponed?

Best regards from…Read more

I feel bad to complain but there is no video attached to your post or it may have got lost in the “Cyber Nirvana”. 🙂

I have no problems personally with the performance of FTB. There is only one minor remark, if I can not go online for about 2 or 3 weeks I’m automatically logged out and I need to log in again. Otherwise I love what I see and hear. Thank you for your efforts to provide great videos, stunning photographs and food for thought.

Werner

If you buy a boat in the EU and pay tax (if new boat) or second hand one with tax already paid, and you sail away for more than 3 years the tax is considered as not valid any longer and you have to pay tax again…Read more

I think it is a great idea to set up your video podcast as this could be much more on time in comparison to your weekly videos. I see so many channels being half a year or more behind in time. So your podcast can take off a lot of pressure to upload your weekly videos. We get a short update what is going on right now and do not need…Read more

Thank you for all your efforts to show us the incredible beauty above water from Malaysia/Borneo and that you are going to spice it up with photographs from the mind-blowing Underwater World beauty of Borneo. You are in the right spot as Malaysia-Borneo has some of the most incredible dive sites in the world. It can’t get any better.

Now it is up to you to become a seasoned AOD or you may go a step further and get a  wreck diving speciality training under your belt.

I just watched your latest video “How we sail”. Two things came to my mind:

1.) Mizzen sail. Many time I was envy of yachts having a Mizzen. Especially in the Med where most of the time anchorages are hopelessly overcrowded and the wind roars and yachts are swaying left and right and….boom! Depending on how much chain you have let…Read more

in my opinion the term “living of (the) grid” is nothing more than a synonym for “alternative life-style”. We have to be honest with our self, living 100% of the grid is absolutely impossible.
