I want to write about Morocco, which is not that easy. We are now in Tenerife and so much has happened again that Morocco seems quite far away. In Agadir, we focussed on the theme of our trip for the first time and visited the Arganeraie biosphere reserve in southern Morocco. My brother told me [...]
It's 07.30 and we're anchored in Essaouira. At least that's what I think, I can't see any of it. It's so foggy that we can't even see where our anchor chain goes into the water. There is absolutely nothing to see of other boats that must be moored here or even the harbour, the shore or the town.
Heat instead of WLAN or things are not going so smoothly at the moment Read More »
Ahoy there, dear ones, good news first: Biosphera can now be found on Vesselfinder.com. Just go to vesselfindercom, enter the boat name and you will see our current position. We are shown under the French flag, which is because the French bank insisted on a French registration. The second piece of good news: we finally had conditions in

After exhausting days from Cassis to the Ebro Delta, we needed a break. The night in the small town of Sitges was so rolly that we could actually have sailed through. Rolling means that the wave comes from a different direction than the wind and therefore the boat is constantly rocking. The trimaran doesn't rock in the same way as a
What a ride! After 37 hours we anchored off the town of Sitges between Barcelona and Terragona. In 2.5 metres of water with 23 knots of wind. But on sand and with plenty of space around us. What could be better? Especially as the new anchor is awesome. Just throw it in and it holds. Spectra from Australia, if anyone is interested

Yeah! The child has a name! or rather the boat. It's called Biosphera and together with her, we will discover the biosphere and explore biosphere reserves! If the biosphere has mercy on us. We are now in Cogolin, France. In the midst of the rich and famous from Monaco to St Tropez, surrounded by mega yachts and high-tech racing yachts. A few
After the dislocated arm and discussions about many construction sites around the boat had taken their toll on our mood, this time it was supposed to be nice! Not primarily work on the boat but enjoyment with the boat. Lennard was there so that we had enough strong arms and it was already April after all. Not summer yet, but we are

Jolt dampers are a great thing. The jerk with which a line tightens and holds the boat is dampened. Instead of the whole boat jerking when strong winds pull on it, the pull is dampened and it doesn't jerk, well, let's say it jerks less. On our second visit to Kefalonia, however
In the beginning is the boat. Without a boat, everything is theory and vision. As soon as the boat is there, everything becomes concrete. The vision becomes a plan, out of the 100 possibilities of how and where to start the project, one is chosen. And the realisation begins. I, Martin, have been looking for boats for years. Actually, ever since I
