A Return to Mexico: Sailing, Soulmates, and Santana’s Setbacks

  • by

As you might have guessed, I didn’t stay in Elba for long. The weather was cold, rainy, and choppy, making it hard to enjoy my time there. My original plan was to sail to Sardinia to meet up with friends and help them with their boat. While checking a few things on Santana, I took the opportunity to inspect the rigging and, to my dismay, discovered that the wooden knees supporting my chainplates were partially… Read More »A Return to Mexico: Sailing, Soulmates, and Santana’s Setbacks

Who is this guy? UTL Introduction

  • by

Hey there,Wow, do you ever have those moments when time just seems to disappear? On one hand, I’m wondering where the last few weeks (even months) have gone. On the other hand, I know they’ve been packed full of activity. Right now, I’m somewhere near Lübeck in northern Germany, juggling office work and preparing for my return to the south of France by the end of the month. It’s time to dive into some boat… Read More »Who is this guy? UTL Introduction

An Exciting Episode of “Untie The Lines” Hello my friend,I’m thrilled to share this episode of Nike’s “Untie The Lines” YouTube documentary with you! Do you remember when I visited her in Mexico earlier this year? It feels like ages ago, but those were some unforgettable days of sailing. I already posted the first episode of Season 7 a while back, where Nike was deep into prep work, including her plastic project, In-Motion. Episode 8… Read More »2nd September 2024 – Untie The Lines crossing the Tehuantepec Bay

7th may update – sail, anchor, work

  • by

Hello everyone,For those tracking my journey or receiving my automated Garmin messages via email (text me if you’d like to join), you’re already aware that we were anchored near Puerto Vallarta in a stunningly peaceful bay and have already crossed the Sea of Cortez by now. Life here feels like an eternal vacation, perhaps because it mirrors the leisurely pace of the other vacationers around us. By day, Boca de Tomatlan bay is a vibrant… Read More »7th may update – sail, anchor, work

16th april 2024 update – sailing the mexican pacific coast (again)

  • by

Hey there, sunny greetings from Mexico!I’m not a fan of flying or overnight travel; time zone changes always throw me off. But, I had a compelling reason to jet back to Mexico. Last year, when I downsized my business ventures, I made a conscious decision to focus on coaching and exploring remote destinations. I was determined to bid farewell to the Mediterranean and set sail in the Atlantic, bound for the Caribbean. Now, I’m relishing… Read More »16th april 2024 update – sailing the mexican pacific coast (again)

1st April 2024 – back to Mexico

  • by

It’s fascinating how swiftly things can change. I’ve barely been back on Elba when I realized I wanted to fly back to Mexico. With my friend Tony, I’ve often delved into the distinction between “goal people” and “flow people.” I’ve always leaned towards setting goals and needing something to strive for. However, Tony and I discussed the concept of flow, where you embrace the journey, wherever it may lead. While I find it beneficial to… Read More »1st April 2024 – back to Mexico

Hello and all the best! I have indeed taken some time off over the last few weeks visiting my friend Nike on her boat Karl, and I loved it 😉 Right now, I am back on my beloved little Italian Island of Elba. I am still a bit jet-lagged and struggling to get into working mode, and I would prefer to still be in Mexico. Since I could not take Jango, I needed somebody to… Read More »26th March 2024 – back from Mexico
