T-Minus 1 Day Til Departure
Dockside, St. Maarten
Dutch West Indies
The day is finally here!
After safety briefings, weather briefings, boat maintenance and insanely amounts of grocery shopping we are now prepared for crossing the Atlantic. The first one for many onboard so you can really feel a mix of excitement and anxiety in the air. Just how it is supposed to be I believe. In just a few minutes the diver is coming helping out with our mooring and letting us free.
The Atlantic, HERE WE COME!
Love,
Erik, Adrienne Skipper

Departure from Bergen!
The crew on the women’s sail training on Isbjorn is settling into a great routine for managing the boat and life onboard.
The sun sets on another journey
The hardest part of sailing across French Polynesia wasn't the night watches, the heat, or the open ocean — it was the prospect of being trapped on a small boat with a group of strangers. First-timer Natalie boards as a self-described land crab and discovers that the sea has a way of reshaping both your sea legs and your assumptions. What follows is dolphins, sharks, the Milky Way in full technicolour, and a crew that somehow made the whole thing better than she ever imagined.
