Voyage of Tranquility

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

2023 

It’s been 2 years since we bought our dream boat and begun the adventure. During that time, we made our maiden sail from Orust Island in Sweden and crossed winter Baltic Sea to Poland. Departing in snow, from ice covered marina in Henan, was an unforgettable experience. We’ve spent one month in Gdańsk, Poland, doing essential upgrades so we could complete our around Europe trip to Greece in 2023. Once we were ready, we said goodbye to friends and family, cast the lines and headed West. 
After sailing 4700 NM and learning new boat and a new lifestyle but also discovering hidden gems of European coastline in 10 countries, we’ve reached our goal for 2023 – Greece, our favorite cruising ground so far. You can read detailed description of our 2023 Voyage in Modules on our blog. Further parts will be published soon!

We docked in 32 different ports/marinas and anchored in 92 different anchorages. At the end of the season, our total distance sailed is 8677.5 NM since we have owned “Tranquility”.

In 2025, we plan to sail towards colder climates. We don’t announce our goal, as 2025 season will be very unpredictable and intense. We will see how far North we can reach!
