From The Southern Cross To The North Star

Beskrivelse

Vinni and Carsten leave behind their careers and sell their home to chase a lifelong dream: sailing the world aboard their 40-foot sailboat, Capri. Setting off from Copenhagen on May 29, 2016, they share their ongoing journey in From the Southern Cross to the North Star, the follow-up to their first book.

A candid and adventurous account of life cruising the Pacific in pursuit of freedom and new experiences.

This sequel continues the honest and raw portrayal of blue water cruising that fans loved in their debut book, Capri, Sailing Distant Seas. Vinni and Carsten recount their ocean voyages and time spent anchored throughout the Pacific, embracing a lifestyle completely different from their previous professional lives.

Their choice to sail has brought them incredible freedom, close ties to nature, and encounters with diverse cultures. Along the way, they forge friendships with people from all corners of the globe.

Whether you’re an experienced sailor or someone who prefers solid ground, this book aims to inspire you to pursue your own dream-whether on the water or on land.

Excerpt from the book:

Both sails are in the third reef, and Carsten remains unable to move. I’ve taken over cooking duties and, so far, haven’t gotten seasick. Still, working in the galley is frustrating-nothing stays put, and it’s hard to keep my balance. Carsten hears me swearing like a true sailor from the cockpit, joking that my language would shame even a seasoned old salt. Apologies for that! I’m counting down the moments until we reach an anchorage where we can finally rest. We’ve had enough of the constant “rock and roll” by the eighteenth day at sea.
