o Guernsey is truly beautiful ♥but we wanted to continue! Our plan was to go to a harbour close to Brest, a trip for about 20-24 hours, and wait for a weather window to go cross the Biscay Bay. You’ll need 5 days of fair winds to do that, or so the say. When we […]
The 9:th of July we set course towards the English Channel and France. We were […]
A few days after midsummer we left Dokkum to continue along the canals on “The standing mast route”. You can go all the way through Holland and Belgium on the canals it and it’s a good alternative if the weather outside, at the North Sea, is rough(as it usually is) or if the winds are […]
We remained at Hällevik for two more days waiting for the right winds to come and the 14 June we left and decided to go as far as possible. It was quite cold so we were so happy to use our very nice sailing suits during the night. It’s like carrying your own little house […]

for visiting and saying Goodbye during our stay in Nynäshamn Now we’re going south and the first stop will be Kalmar were we’re going to visit friends and do a few necessary repairs before continuing. Many hugs from us <3 See you soon…
A lot of people are wondering what we have done about the safety on the boat. Travelling by boat may sound dangerous for those who have never sailed. So we think it is important to understand what we have done about safety on Hoppetossa. The boat Hoppetossa is a safe ship. She has a, […]
March 2017 Well, the date for the launching is set. The 8th of May Hoppetossa will be launched into her natural environment. So now the end rush is coming. But before that we visited the boat fair in Stockholm. It was a sweet little fair (what a difference with Dusseldorf) and we visited some companies. One […]
