For Danes, April 9 reminds them that this is the date the germans occupied Denmark during WWII. Not a date we are happy to remember, but sitting here in an airplane halfway across the Atlantic, I’m happy, happy that I can return to the Caribbean and restart our circumnavigation. We’ve been 2 months…

  Early one morning we upped anchor from Charlotte Amalie harbour and sailed over to St. Thomas. Partly because we wanted to do some major food shopping and partly because our friends on Felicia (Danish boat that also came over on the ARC+) were there. So after a quick 73nm sail we cruised into the…

The day finally came when we could slip our lines and set out to sea again.  Vinni and I have been tied to the land much too long now – two months. To catch up a bit with our plans, we decided to sail directly to the US Virgin Islands, skipping all the other Leeward…

Some of you may remember that the local TV station, Christianshavns Kvarter did an interview with us when we sailed from Denmark last year.  You can find that interview further down on our website.  Now that we were in Denmark, they found out we were there and asked if we would step up and be…

We’re now back on Capri and it is wonderful to once again be sleeping in a bed that rocks a little and hear the wind in the rigging and the water gurgling around the hull. But it wasn’t a stroll through a rose garden to get here. First, we had to get up way before…

  Fort du France, for those who have never been there, is an open bay. Completely open to the west. Now normally, this is a good thing, since the trade winds always blow from the east and the Atlantic swells also come from the east, so lying at anchor is easy peasy, protected as you…

  Dear family, friends, neighbors and everyone else,   I was at the University hospital yesterday for my control visit and the pathologists report. Everything looks fine and most important of all – I DON’T HAVE CANCER. I’ve just about completely recovered from the operation – damn it really hurts to get cut across the…

Dear all, Some of you are probably beginning to wonder why Capri is still lying on Martinique for the 4th week in a row. Are they having major repairs done? No – There is nothing wrong with Capri – this time it is with its crew. February 2, I woke up with a serious bladder…

  This isn’t an easy role in the male dominated sailing world, and trust me – the maritime world IS male dominated. “Ma’am – stay on board” “Ma’am – get back on board” (louder) “Ma’am- get back on board (angry voice) As you’ve probably guessed, those words were spoken as we were docking – in…

  We had both heard and read about the blues festival on Mustique – or rather about Basil’s Blues Festival, since Basil’s Beach Bar is the sponsor. We thought – what the hell? I mean we’re cruisers and we’ve got nothing else to do. So we set a course for Mustique, a hard sail against…
