“SEA OF CORTEZ“ (Gulf of California) describes the incredible biodiversity and also where the sea east of BAJA CALIFORNIA gets its name. We are aware of the privilege of being born in the wealthiest continent. We make use of this advantage and act mindfully. “RECONCILIATORY FAREWELL TO GUNA YALA“ describes that it makes sense to selflessly help people without ulterior motives.
Doktora Giraffa
This time in Guna Yala, we visited a
“sight” that hardly any tourist knows:
The Nargana hospital. The reason was
that two fellow sailors had severe
diarrhea. At reception, we were already
greeted by Doktora Giraffa.

Sailing has the image of freedom. But what does this freedom feel like? In “FREEDOM ON A SAILBOAT – AN ILLUSION?” I try to find out what freedom ultimately does to us. There are people who make history with their yearning for freedom, for example adventurers like Felix Baumgartner or Reinhold Messner. History can also be written through films. In “MY NAME IS BOND, JAMES BOND” I describe the environment in which Sir Sean Connery, THE James Bond, lived.

The opposite of sea time is “LAND TIME – LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.” Or not. Land time with a boat is probably the most unpleasant aspect of a sailor’s life (apart from disasters, but more on that another time). My theory, which I describe using an example in “SAILORS WITH A SIMILAR MINDSET,” is that sailors think similarly to other people with certain hobbies.

The difference between “seeing” and “discovering” is about as great as that between a thunderstorm and a hurricane (yes, I know – not every analogy holds true). Discovering new things at sea requires, among other things, good weather forecasts. “FOUL-WEATHER GEAR OR SWIM TRUNKS” highlights the importance of acquiring background knowledge about weather.
Paloma
Hello, my name is Paloma. I’m a young, pretty, gray ring-necked dove and I’ll tell you about my adventure aboard the sailing vessel JONATHAN.
New Providence – Bahamas
We spend our day off taking a walk through the Lyford Cay estate on New Providence. We’re impressed by the British elegance of the luxurious clubhouse next to the golf course.

Who tells us what is right or wrong? Where is the line between individualism and selfishness? In “THE WORLD AROUND US,” I introduce some inhabitants of our planet who are always with us and ask questions I have no answers to.
Mystical Mangroves
As soon as we enter the mangrove forest, a mystical silence surrounds us. The sounds of the surf are swallowed up.
Position: 09°28.5 N – 078°30.9 W LOS PUYADES / PANAMA
We’re going to make a long-held dream come true and sail into the Pacific. You’ll find our reasons and a brief description of the sailing area in “NEW HORIZONS”. Our new cruising grounds feel like an open-air zoo: sea lions, rays, whales, turtles, colorful coral fish, … But first we’ll be crossing the Panama Canal. Another highlight.
