We want to discover the world on our own sailing boat for the next two years. We set off from Italy in September and sailed via the Balearic Islands, the Spanish mainland and through the Strait of Gibraltar to Tangier, Morocco. We continued on the Atlantic, first to the Canary Islandsand then together with our good friend Stefan to Cape Verde and finally we crossed the Atlantic to Tobago together. After four months of island hopping in the Eastern Caribbean, we made the leap to Curacaoin the south-west and then to Panama. After a brief two-week visit home, we crossed the Panama Canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific. On the pacific side of Panama, we explore the beautiful Pearl Islands and the natural paradise of Coiba, before sailing as far as Boca Chica, almost at the border to Costa Rica. This period is marked by several unplanned trips home due to a family member’s serious illness. We therefore decide to return to the Atlantic after almost a year in the Pacific. We transit the Panama Canal for a second time. After leaving Panama, we are sailing for a week to Jamaica, which we get to exoplore for a few days. From here, we will head via the Bahamas and Bermuda to the Azores, where we intend to spend the summer.
