112. Here Comes The Sun

The transition period between the southwest and the northeast monsoon seasons has just passed here in Malaysia. This is a time when you can expect a lot of rain. And we have certainly had a lot of that. Not as bad as in Indonesia, Thailand and Sri Lanka where I understand they are counting fatalities… Continue reading 112. Here Comes The Sun

111. Biases

I went to the dentist today. Just for some preventive maintenance. To make sure that I’m ready for a year or so in some very remote places in the Indian Ocean. Toothache is apparently the leading medical complication encountered by long distance sailors. In the old days it was often caused by scurvy but I’m… Continue reading 111. Biases

110. Crossroads

I’m in Langkawi. In north Malaysia, just south of the border with Thailand. I’m primarily here to get some boat work done. Nothing major, just some regular maintenance and TLC. The main reason for picking Langkawi is that it’s supposedly a duty free island and I’ve ordered a bunch of stuff that is on its… Continue reading 110. Crossroads

  2. Thanks my friends. Your lessons were great. And we only dragged the line when we wanted fish. Happy to take a refresher class though. You are so welcome on Saoirse anytime. And I would love to teach you sailing. Would love to see you two as students rather than teachers! Take care of each other. You are truly a special couple. Tomas

  5. Hello there you all at the boat ,
    I, Hectors grandmother and Björn came here to SouthAfrika, 40 km from Cape Town, a week ago. We were looking for warm and sunny weather but not the 35 degrees we had the other day and next weekend it will be around 40!!.
    Such days we don’t spend at the golfcourse.
    However wheather change very quickly with some rainshowers announced tomorrow and around 26. Golfcompetition is at the schema.

    Today we have visited 3 vineyards, tested wine and had lunch. Wine is a very big industri here and most of the wines keep high standard.

    We follow your further aventures and are very glad for the beatiful photos. Hector I can still recognice you!!

    All the bests from us / Margarete and Björn

  8. He Tomas,
    Nu har jag äntligen fått kontakt med dig igen!
    Anders berättade för mig att du krockat med en stor våg.
    Hoppas du inte skadade dig.
    Och att du fått igång elen på båten.

    Ha det så bra!
    Vet inte om du fick inbjudan till vårat bröllop.
    Du är bjuden.
    Var rädd om dig vi ses
    Jonas
