Hello, and a warm welcome to all the new subscribers here! I’m currently in a marina on Elba with lots of office work. I plan to leave for Mexico in about one month, where I will meet a friend of mine to go sailing on her boat, and I’d like to take as little work to Mexico as possible. The last week was perfect weather to ride my bike around the island and I include… Read More »connection & community

Hey wonderful people, warm greetings from Elba. That means I am back at the same place I used to be 7 months ago. Only this time, it’s different because I know that I will leave again this summer, not knowing if I will ever return. So, I am making this a farewell tour, finishing up some stuff. I had the most beautiful sail from Corsica to Elba and included a short video about that sail… Read More »patreon update – 26th january 2024

Hey there, Wishing you all a fantastic 2024! I trust you’ve kicked off the year with enthusiasm. I’ve been deep in soul-searching and reflecting on the past year, and it’s taken me on quite an emotional journey. The text I’m writing has become a bit more extensive than I initially planned. Amidst all this, I’ve been immersed in boatwork, and I’ll be giving you an update on that while saving my psychological musings for the… Read More »patreon update – 9th january 2024

24. August 2023 – Sailing To Provence Update

  • by

Hey there, Hope you’re enjoying the summer vibes. Since my last update, summer hit Elba with a blast. It’s super hot, and it is much busier with everyone on vacation. And not just Elba, also Tanzania is in vacation mode. Funny how summertime turns into the high season, not so much because of the local weather, but because the rich countries are on holiday. Like the whole world has to celebrate the summer vacation. At… Read More »24. August 2023 – Sailing To Provence Update

13. July 2023 – Setting Sail

  • by

Hey there! I’m back in the sailing mood and loving every minute of it. I’ve been anchored for over a month, cruising around the island twice, having friends on board, sailing through some crazy winds, and even getting into a running and cycling routine. Plus, I’ve started writing again, hosted an awesome masterclass, signed up new clients, and got the new Django Tours website up and running. Man, it feels so good when I put… Read More »13.

In contrast to September, October has blessed us with beautiful weather, and I’m still out here anchored, enjoying every bit of it. I’m sharing some photos and impressions from the past month, and I hope you’ll enjoy them as much as I’ve enjoyed capturing them. Later this week, I may head into the port at Marciana Marina, where I’ve spent the last few winters. During November, a friend of mine will be staying on the… Read More »October Update 2022 and 2023 preview

summer of sailing

  • by

Hey Patron, I‘m back on Elba and Santana for a bit over a month now and I enjoyed late summer sailing and 🥾 hiking as it not that hot anymore. I often enjoy late summer/early fall and remember that I had a couple of wonderful late summers in Berlin over the years. The last years I was mainly in the Swiss mountains for October and often the summer thunderstorms had already passed through. The nights… Read More »summer of sailing

July update from Santana

  • by

Hello my friend, As romantic as Monte Cristo looks in the distance, most of my days are anything but. But I rarely take the time to fully notice them. After going all in to get everything done in Switzerland and prepping the boat for summer, a mountain of work piled up on my desk. While working on the boat, I signed a new client, which has been a very welcome financial boost—boats certainly aren’t cheap!… Read More »July update from Santana
