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.
Our boat
“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!
Meet us
We are Tom & Alex, full-time cruisers, divers and airline pilots if time allows 🙂 We’ve decided to create this blog, to share with you our voyage but also to give a helping hand to those who follow a similar path.

It took me a while to find the motivation to finally wrap up the story of our first season living on a sailboat—a season during which we sailed around Europe, making our way from Sweden, through Poland, all the way to Greece. Physically, we reached our […]
