We have a long-term goal – sailing around the world.

But first we will sell everything we own and buy the dream boat and make it our home.

Why? is often a question we get. Madness is a reaction we get. Awesome is another reaction we get.

This is our story!

We’ve both grown up by the ocean, with rocky shores, little vegetation, sandy beaches and blistered islands and a lot of weather.

Knut Ørjan grew up at 71 degrees north – the North Cape, with 6-month polar night, 7-month winter, and with the arctic ocean as one of his playgrounds:).

Kristin grew up on an island so far west, out in the ocean from Bergen that they could almost look over to Shetland, or as the Island crowd said, “When the seagulls came to visit, they spoke English.”:)

We’ve always had an attraction to the sea. We have always had a boat, ranging from a 10 foot rowing boat to motorboats and sailboats. But it is the last 13 years Knut Ørjan has experienced sailing while Kristin was introduced to sail life in 2011.

There is something appealing with life at sea, without motor.

Silence, the grace of sailing, being one with the ocean, waves surrounding the hull, white dazzling sails shining like the sun, wind in the sails, wind in your hair, tranquility descends and sneaks into each muscle. The smell of the ocean and see how powerful the wet element is.

It’s just the ultimate happiness of feeling one with the surroundings.

We follow our dream! There is a deep and heartfelt desire to live simpler and closer to the ocean.

We live our own adventure, as we are still writing new chapters. Now we are going write bind two.

Life in a boat.
