Last June we did it. We crossed the Baltic Sea. 🎉 This was till that point our longest passage with 86 nautical miles from Gotland to Ventspils. A passage we were excited but also very nervous and a little anxious about. In the end, it turned out to be one of the most beautiful ones of our entire sailing journey. 🫶 We couldn’t have wished for better conditions, with beam-reach winds and a clear blue sky the entire way. ⛵️ Quite happy and a little proud, that we reached a new time zone under sail, we arrived in Ventspils. #sailing #letsexplore #tridentmarine #warrior40 #sailinginstagram #letsgo #balticsea #sailboat #sailboatlife #sailorslife #sailinglife #boatlife #floatinghome #liveaboards #slowtravel #travelbyboat Although Caheara is back on the hard and getting some well-deserved care at the moment, we love to think back on our trip last summer. ☀️ After some beautiful days in Visby, enjoying the lively atmosphere in the old streets, cozy cafés, and a lot of delicious food. We set sail to Lickershamn, a small harbor only a few miles away. ⛵️ With a beautiful cliff walk, a small beach, and the impressive Raukar Jungfrun only a few minutes away it was the perfect contrast to the busy days in Visby. And also a great spot to make a big decision for the next weeks. Do we sail back to Sweden or do we cross the Baltic Sea? 🌊 #sailing #letsexplore #tridentmarine #warrior40 #sailinginstagram #letsgo #balticsea #sailboat #sailboatlife #sailorslife #sailinglife #boatlife #floatinghome #liveaboards #slowtravel #travelbyboat #sailsweden #scandinaviansailing #gotland On our second try, we successfully made it to Gotland. ⛵️ This time we sailed close to the wind, which made us feel much more comfortable than with the waves coming from behind. 🌊 Because the wind came a bit too northerly at the beginning of the day to head straight to Visby, we took a pit stop in Klintehamn ⚓️, had a power nap, and then used the southerly winds in the evening to sail the last miles to Visby. We witnessed our first sunset while sailing, making it very special to us. 🌅 Tired after a long day, but also proud, we finally docked in beautiful Visby. #sailing #letsexplore #tridentmarine #warrior40 #sailinginstagram #letsgo #balticsea #sailboat #sailboatlife #sailorslife #sailinglife #boatlife #floatinghome #liveaboards #slowtravel #travelbyboat #sailsweden #scandinaviansailing #gotland Although we never actually planned to visit Böda, it was one of our favorite stops on Öland. We enjoyed the small Harbour we almost had for ourselves and the long sandy beaches 🏖️. After having some troubles with our beloved Genacker in the wavy sea 🌊, we decided to stop here on our way to Gotland. A little reminder that it’s okay to take a break and to try again the next day… ⛵️ #sailing #letsexplore #tridentmarine #warrior40 #sailinginstagram #letsgo #balticsea #sailboat #sailboatlife #sailorslife #sailinglife #boatlife #floatinghome #liveaboards #slowtravel #travelbyboat #sailsweden #scandinaviansailing #swedisheastcoast We especially enjoy small anchorages like this ⚓️ Luckily, Sweden has a lot of those 🇸🇪 #sailing #letsexplore #tridentmarine #warrior40 #sailinginstagram #letsgo #balticsea #sailboat #sailboatlife #sailorslife #sailinglife #boatlife #floatinghome #liveaboards #slowtravel #travelbyboat #sailsweden #scandinaviansailing #swedisheastcoast After seeing a lot of remote places we really enjoyed our stay in lively Kalmar after a calm sail up the Kalmarsund. ⛵️ The city has a big guest harbor just in front of the university. One of our highlights was the beautiful Kalmar castle. Walking down the entrance made us immediately feel like we were part of a Game of Thrones episode. 🏰 #sailing #letsexplore #tridentmarine #warrior40 #sailinginstagram #letsgo #balticsea #sailboat #sailboatlife #sailorslife #sailinglife #boatlife #floatinghome #liveaboards #slowtravel #travelbyboat #sailsweden #scandinaviansailing #swedisheastcoast #kalmar #kalmarslott We made it to Sweden! 🇸🇪 And with its stoney coast and red little houses it looks exactly how we imagined it. We had great conditions on our crossing from Christiansø to Sweden ⛵️. We aimed for Utklippan but with the winds a little bit too easterly we just went to a beautiful anchorage on the Swedish coast instead and headed to Utklippan the next day. 💨 It’s a very unique place with its sheltered harbor located between two islands about 13 nautical miles off the Swedish coast. Sitting here on the stones and watching the sunset 🌅, you can only imagine how the people who operated the lighthouse back in the day must have felt living on this remote island with the Swedish coastline just in sight. #sailing #letsexplore #tridentmarine #warrior40 #sailinginstagram #letsgo #balticsea #sailboat #sailboatlife #tinyhome #sailorslife #sailinglife #boatlife #floatinghome #liveaboards #slowtravel #travelbyboat #utklippan What a special place just less than 10 nautical miles away from Bornholm! ⛵️ At first, we felt a bit overwhelmed by the many boats and people on the island but in the evening when most of the tourists leave for the day, Christiansø and Frederiksø show their true beauty and it feels like you have the islands almost to yourself. 🌅 Only about 100 people permanently live on the islands. We loved our visit to the local museum and learned more about its habitants and unique history as a military base. Today it feels very peaceful on the islands. Our highlight was the seal colony 🦭 which can be spotted from Fredriksø and we could have watched them dozing in the sun for hours. Can you hear them in the background? If you visit by boat and you like it a little calmer away from the crowds, you should consider staying on Fredriksø either in the south half of the harbor on the opposite side of the main pier (but make sure to approach with caution as it can get shallow) or north of the bridge where there is a small pier with 4 buoys and reasonable depth. Although in strong winds it’s not as protected as the main pier on Christiansø, you’ll have a lovely view from there. ⚓️ #sailing #letsexplore #tridentmarine #warrior40 #sailinginstagram #letsgo #balticsea #sailboat #sailboatlife #tinyhome #sailorslife #sailinglife #boatlife #floatinghome #liveaboards #slowtravel #travelbyboat #bornholm #staysalty #christiansø #ertholmene Our favorite Harbour on Bornholm was Hammer Havn. Here in the north, the Danish 🇩🇰 island with its green hills and big castle ruin 🏰 reminds us a little bit of Scotland. Unfortunately, the weather was about to change 💨 and we could only stay for one night. So we made sure we explore the Northern tip of Bornholm with its lighthouse Hammerfyr from the small town of Allinge. ⚓️ #sailing #letsexplore #tridentmarine #warrior40 #sailinginstagram #letsgo #balticsea #sailboat #sailboatlife #tinyhome #sailorslife #sailinglife #boatlife #floatinghome #liveaboards #slowtravel #travelbyboat #bornholm #staysalty Although the tour boats in Sassnitz canceled their trips due to the wavy sea state 🌊, we both got itchy to leave Germany and head to Bornholm 🇩🇰. The wind forecast looked good so off we went. As we were strong on the wind for the passage the waves slowed us down a bit, so it took us about 12 hours ⛵️. Halfway, we passed one of the big offshore wind parks with its supply vessels which gave us the funny feeling not to be alone in the middle of the Baltic Sea. After the long day, we were so happy we made it to Rønne, Bornholm after all the planning of the last weeks 🌅. #sailing #letsexplore #tridentmarine #warrior40 #sailinginstagram #letsgo #balticsea #sailboat #sailboatlife #tinyhome #sailorslife #sailinglife #boatlife #sailingmemories #slowtravel #travelbyboat #bornholm We only wanted to sail a little bit further along the coast of Rügen when the conditions were just too good to stop and we spontaneously sailed all the way to Sassnitz. One thing that was on our list was the Königsstuhl and although the new Skywalk is quite an impressive building the real highlight was the 7 km long hiking trail along the calc cliffs through an old fairytale forest with stunning views wherever you look. Definitely our highlight on the island. #sailing #letsexplore #tridentmarine #warrior40 #sailinginstagram #letsgo #balticsea #sailboat #sailboatlife #tinyhome #sailorslife #boatlife #sailingmemories #slowtravel #rügen Stralsund was one of our stops on our way around Rügen. The old hanse town has a lively historic city center with lots of cute cafes and individual shops. But we actually really enjoyed our visit in the Ozeaneum 🌊 where we had the chance to learn a lot about the Baltic sea and the places we want to visit this summer ☀️ . Back in May when taking this picture the those places 🇸🇪🇪🇪🇫🇮 seemed really far away, but almost two months later we could fill these distances with lasting memories. Celebrating Midsummer this weekend in Finnland 🥳 #sailing #letsexplore #tridentmarine #warrior40 #sailinginstagram #letsgo #balticsea #sailboat #sailboatlife #tinyhome #sailorslife #boatlife #sailingmemories #slowtravel #oceaneumstralsund Oh, beautiful Hiddensee. After a 56-mile rolly but fast sail from Gedser, we arrived in Kloster. On Hiddensee everything felt a bit slower as there are no cars, but only carriages allowed. We enjoyed exploring the island with our bikes after most tourists left for the day. #sailing #letsexplore #tridentmarine #warrior40 #sailinginstagram #letsgo #balticsea #sailboat #sailboatlife #tinyhome #sailorslife #boatlife #sailingmemories #slowtravel #hiddensee We finally untied the lines 🥳 and started our trip around the baltic. First stop: Gedser, Denmark where we took the bikes to the most southern point of Scandinavia. Let’s see if we can make it to the most northern point ⛵️ #sailing #letsexplore #tridentmarine #warrior40 #sailinginstagram #letsgo #balticsea #sailboat #sailboatlife #tinyhome #sailorslife #boatlife #sailingmemories #slowtravel #denmark Sharing with you a beautiful sunset with a view of the Flügge lighthouse from the end of last season. We are so excited to start exploring again. There are still some points on our todo list but hopefully we can cast the lines soon! ⛵️ #sailing #letsexplore #tridentmarine #warrior40 #sailinginstagram #letsgo #balticsea #sunset #sailboat #sailboatlife #tinyhome #sailorslife #boatlife #sailingmemories #slowtravel #fehmarn
