Guest post by Hanna, who sailed with us to the San Blas Islands/Guna Yala
April/May 2026 Three weeks of sailing adventure in Panama – traveling with Petra and Bernd. At the end of April, we set off for Panama for three weeks – an adventure we had been looking forward to for a long time. Our home away from home: Petra and Bernd's catamaran. Even the journey there was special. We set off together with Toni and Jonah – and indeed...
Guest post by Sabine, who accompanied us for part of our journey in Jamaica.
Jamaica tour - from Montego Bay to Kingston... Easter holidays March/April 2026 The direct flight from Amsterdam to Montego Bay on Tuesday, March 31st, at midday went perfectly. I landed in Jamaica that same afternoon – with a seven-hour time difference. Since I slept soundly on the plane, I hardly noticed the jet lag in the following days. When Bernd picked me up in the dinghy at...
Guest post by Miriam, who accompanied us on our crossing from Jamaica to Panama.
A small part of circumnavigation 12.04. - 25.04.2026 As the grand finale of my four-month Latin America trip: two weeks of sailing in the Caribbean with my father.

The idea still felt unreal: the next two weeks on...
Guest post by Carsten, who accompanied us on our crossing from Jamaica to Panama.
11.04. - 25.04.2026 The sea, perhaps the greatest thing the earth possesses, I absorbed into my soul.

The German Federal Police and Jamaican Customs were interested...
Guest article by Gordon: Sailing with a hammerhead shark and a crocodile – 10 days on an adventure course in Florida
Mar. 2025 Anyone who thinks sailing is a relaxing affair with champagne in a hammock and seagulls singing to you about your lunch has never been out with Petra, Bernd, Florian, and two curious crocodiles. But let's start from the beginning. Jet lag, dinghy, cabin—welcome to Florida! After a 14-hour flight (in human time: about two seasons of Netflix and three sluggish meals), we landed...
Guest article: Experience the Bahamas in a completely unconventional way
16. - 26.02.2025 Sailing and vacationing between Nassau and Eleuthera... In November 2024 The opportunity arose quite spontaneously to sail on the Blue Joline in the Bahamas from February 16-26.02. I didn't have to think twice, because you don't get to take a vacation like this every day. I'd known Petra & Bernd for a long time through my friendship with their daughter...
