patron update – 5th november 2019 (last months update)

  • by

Hey there, I’m writing to you from our mountain house, Heidi, here in Switzerland 🇨🇭. We’re enjoying the last week before the snow arrives and making the final preparations for winter. The first snow is expected this weekend, and soon the road to the house will be closed until April. Since we’re also getting our new apartment near Interlaken next weekend, we’re making the most of the access we still have to move things while… Read More »patron update – 5th november 2019 (last months update)

Hello my friend, I’ve left the boat in Elba for the winter, finding a cozy spot in Marciana Marina. We battled the winds trying to make it to Corsica, but ultimately decided to put the Corsica project on hold—it was becoming more stressful than enjoyable. As you might have noticed, I haven’t even had time to edit any videos for you yet. Last week, I prepped the house in the Swiss mountains for the upcoming… Read More »fullmoon in sahara

patreon update – 9th august 2019 (sailing again)

Hey there,We’re back on the water, and I wanted to share some of the highlights from the last few days with you. We ended up staying a bit longer in Sainte-Maxime, waiting for the Mistral to pass. Once it did, we set off with our hand-stitched sails. I’m not sure when—or if—the sails will tear again, but one thing’s for sure: the stitches we did by hand aren’t going anywhere! There’s something satisfying about investing… Read More »patreon update – 9th august 2019 (sailing again)

patreon update – 29th July 2019 (storm proof)

Hey, We unintentionally put our little wooden boat to the ultimate test in some of the roughest conditions yet! The ocean has been relentless lately, with either massive swells hitting the shore or powerboats sending waves our way, rocking us like crazy. As a result, getting enough sleep to stay energized has been a bit of a challenge. We ended up staying longer than planned in Bandol after finding a spot with minimal swell. Afterward,… Read More »patreon update – 29th July 2019 (storm proof)

Woohoooo! What a whirlwind of a month it’s been! Even though I didn’t get the chance to update you in real time, I’ve been thinking of you every step of the way. I’ve recorded tons of videos, taken plenty of photos, and had some deeply powerful coaching conversations along the way. The boat is ready and waiting for us in the bay of Bandol (it even survived 100 km/h winds at anchor with just the… Read More »patron update – 30th june 2019

Hey there, It’s been a while since my last update, and things have been quite busy. Busy in the sense that I’ve managed to get a lot done, but also busy dealing with relentless winds and constant waves that kept the boat rocking. Whenever the sun decided to show up, I took the chance to get some office work done, though I had to retreat to a coffee shop most days. Even recording this little… Read More »patreon update – 18th may 2019

Hey there, Thank you so much for sticking with me. These past few weeks have really pushed me to the edge of my comfort zone, and I’ll be sharing more about that in upcoming posts. I’m finally finding the time to sit down at my computer and get back to writing. For now, I just want to send a huge thank you for your support. Your encouragement has been a big help in keeping me… Read More »coffee time on board

Summer might be over in Bandol, but I’ve finally made it here, and it’s just as beautiful as ever. I haven’t had the chance to upload a video yet, but I’m planning to do that next week. It’s been an intense stretch—3,300 kilometers on the road so far, with another 2,500 still ahead as I’ll need to swap cars again. The exciting part? I’m planning to splash the boat next week, so stay tuned for… Read More »Bandol

patreon update – september 25th 2018

While my boat patiently waits up in the North/East, I recently spent a week in Corsica, exploring whether it could be the perfect place to spend next summer. Spoiler alert: it absolutely is. Corsica is even more beautiful than I imagined, and contrary to my online research, I discovered plenty of wind-protected bays with excellent anchorage grounds. Now, the challenge is getting my boat there. I’m still unsure if it will sail without some modifications,… Read More »patreon update – september 25th 2018
