Guernsey is truly beautiful ♥ but we wanted to continue! Our plan was to go to a harbor 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 bit anxious about all the tankers and ferries outside of Calais. They are constantly coming and going day and night, or so we had heard, but as it turned out we could cross the shipping lane without much trouble. […]
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 two days we have been staying in a wonderful fishing harbour named Hällevik. In Skåne I thought until I looked at a map and saw that it’s actually situated in Blekinge.Very close to Skåne it is but I know that this is a very sensitive subject for the people in these regions so it […]
Our stay in Kalmar is nice but also hard work. We went to Kalmar to meet with Judy and Jonatan but it is also a good place for maintenance. When the boat went into the water there were still things left to do. We decided to make the boat livable and sailable and to do […]
We have stayed in Nynäshamn for a few days so that we could say goodbye to our loved ones, and it has been nice, fun and very emotional ♥♥ Now it is time for us to move on and we decided to go directly from Nynäshamn to Kalmar without stopping on the way which meant the […]
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. […]
