I sit at the navigation desk and have no choice but to wait for the sound from the VHF radio station. I’m thinking about what else I could do. I bang my head. What exactly happened to me once happened to me: rudder, rudder, rudder !? I lost it on […]
I was finally overwhelmed by the wait for the sailboat to take off in the Lanzarote marina. I honestly quarreled with the head of the international marina, who doesn’t know a bit of English, so Tanja from Amsterdam, who lives on this island and speaks as many as six languages, […]
On the island of Lanzarote, I met many people, including the Frenchman Steve, who got tired of the way of life in France. He traveled almost the whole world on business. He was involved in arranging the lighting and light shows that you had the opportunity to see at Eurovision […]

Sailing from Sardinia was the complete opposite of sailing from Sicily. After the sun went down and after the first night of light wind and fluttering sails, I had had enough of everything! I put away all the sails and decided to wait for the wind. I lie down until […]
