Day 5: Slán, Dublin

Leaving is always hard. But leaving this trip felt like tearing a page from a beautiful book before finishing it. Sarah’s hug and the cab ride with Paddy were the final chapter. We talked of emigration, history, and Dublin’s soul. Back at the airport, there were delays, but I didn’t …

Winds of change or How we lost a dream at sea

Dreaming with your partner is important. It makes you grow together, indicates you have a future and gives you endless fodder to talk and structure activities around. But what happened when you dream of 4 years suddenly dissapears? Im reflecting on our experience here!

Mutiny aboard Master V

My account of first time sailing on a Lagoon 380 and how a booking of a course can go badly wrong when you miss communicate.

I’m definitely no good as film maker, but I hope you enjoy my 6 minute impression of my sailing experience with Charlie as teacher anyway. Also thanks to Hass, Sarah, Melissa, Danny, Aart and Erwin for making my Landrecovery so pleasant despite feeling land sick!
