The route What's next?
Our dream is to sail the world's great oceans with our floating home. All in all, this means: Mediterranean - Atlantic - Caribbean - Panama Canal - Pacific - Southern Pacific.
You want to know where we are NOW?
Whether we want to continue our journey afterwards or not remains to be seen. We can not and don't want to plan that far ahead. We have given up planning the route in detail. After our first year at sea, we have learnt a lot, and sailing has already taught us the most important lesson:
Making plans means changing plans.
