Our Voyage
In March 2023 we embarked on our biggest adventure so far! After 1.5 years of searching for our floating home, we bought a sailboat in Sweden with a dream to sail the world.

“Tranquility” is our floating home. It is Malö 39, bluewater cruiser ideal for long-distance sailing and full-time living aboard. Get to know the upgrades and boatwork we regularly do!

After spending a week on the Egadi Islands, it was time to continue our journey sailing Sicily. I have to admit, we’re doing so with great reluctance. The archipelago captivated us so much that we would have gladly stayed longer. We’ve written a small sailing guide […]
