 Back at Crews Inn, Chaguaramas, 
 Trinidad after 1.5 months in Sweden.
 Temperatures over 
30 degrees and very much sunshine 
 to be in the rainy season.

 Index has got  a new layout which 
 hopefully means that the time to
 get the page is much faster and
 you get a better overview.

 Travel Letters are now updated to
 2011-06-18. The rest will follow
 soon. One of the reasons to
 the delay is that I become
 nearly blind in one eye for two
 month ago.. But a good
 doctor Dr Ronnie Bhola in Port of
 Spain to fix the retina and in a
 month  from now he will take out
 the silicone in the
 eye again after retina fixed itself
 correctly and all the indications
 are that I get the 
 vision back completely. 
 Many thanks to Dr. Bhola!

Welcome to share my sailing event

 

I have for a long time had a dream – to sail around the globe!

 

This is a dream that I am now going to realize! In January 2007 I ordered Amelit from the Amel-yard in La Rochelle, France. On 25 May 2009, she was finished and after a week of intensive training in La Rochelle, where Amel-team went through "all" of the boat, we sailed to Spain, before the return journey was started. We arrived to Malmö, Dockan on the 17 of July.

On June 13, 2010 at 16:10, I left the Dockan, Malmö. It was the start of my life's great adventures! My planned sailing route, which is bound to change along the way, you can find under the "Routes".

I expect to be out in about 5-8 years ... but who knows ... it can be both short or long ... as long as it's fun!

Join me from the beginning ... I promise you a different website!
  
 

Plan 2012:

- Sailing i Caribbean
- Sailing through Panamkanalen in Marz/April to Galapagos and then sail
   to French Polynesia, Cook Islands, American Samoa, Tonga,
   Kermedec Island and to be in New Zeeland during the hurricane
   season.

 

Plan 2013:

- Probably it will be sailing to Alaska from China and Japan.
