  • by

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

  • by

Hey there! 🌊I hope you’ve been soaking up some summer vibes and sunshine! Here on Elba, it’s been a busy mix of weather. Last weekend, we had a foggy, drizzly Sunday – more like a fuzzy Hamburg rain in fall than a typical summer shower.I made the most of it by staying below deck to work on my chainplates. I think I found a good solution and took a few photos that I’ll share with… Read More »11th July 2024 – untie the lines, season 7

Big waves crashing on Port de Bandol

  • by

Hello, wonderful people, I recorded this video about two weeks ago in mid-October when the last storm was sweeping by. I’ve put together a simple compilation to give you an idea. In Provence, we often experience strong winds, but the primary wind direction is from West to East, occasionally shifting the opposite way. Normally, there are no significant waves hitting the shore. However, in the past two weeks, it has already happened twice that during… Read More »Big waves crashing on Port de Bandol

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

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
