what are 

we up to

a

escape.

 

 We’re two people who tend to say yes to ideas that start as casual questions over a pint and quietly grow into logistical problems. We sail, we ski, we run businesses, and we renovate old buildings and even older boats, usually at the same time. 

Orlanda is our floating home, project, and occasional source of stress, and this log is simply an honest record of where we planned to go, what actually happened, and what we learned along the way. No guides, no guarantees, just weather, work, curiosity, and a healthy respect for things we can’t control.

Orlanda is a Hallberg Rassy 49 refit for long term blue water travel. With solid crew of experienced sailors on the boat at all times and newcomers joining throughout we will aim to visit some of the most remote places on earth. Think this is for you?
