2657 Dollar missing for urgent repairs. A broken rod bearing inside the engine puts the trip on hold. Yanmar mechanics estimate the damage up to 4.500 Dollar - which is way out of my current budget. You can help to keep the boat afloat.
In early 2009 I left Germany for a sailing trip of about 50,000 nautical miles. It should take me across the atlantic ocean from europe to the american continent from the great Lakes to Patagonia. In over two years I sailed so far to the Azores Islands, managed the fog along the shores of Nova Scotia, spearfished lobster in the Bahamas and did around 30 locks on the Erie Barge Canal towards the Great Lakes.
Looks like I am about to miss Georgian Bay in my 2nd attempt again. The boat is currently docked on the Canadian side of the Detroit River for urgent engine repairs. The cost of the work that has to be done exceeds my budget in a way that I have to fly back to do work in Europe the upcoming winter. Next spring I will continue the trip from here to Lake Huron, along the Georgian Bay and back to the US to head down the rivers and Canals towards the Gulf of Mexico.
While back in Europe I will hold speeches and presentations about my voyages. If you are interested in either german or english presentations don't hesitate to drop me a message.

As some might have seen on my german Website and in Facebook I startet a new Web project last week. The „Segelradio“ wich is directly best translated into „sailradio“. It is an idea to create a platform for podcasts about sailing. Besides the content I pruduce the main concept is that others who are interested in joining this idea can put their own podcasts here and together we build a variety of formats and topics about sailing i different „podcasts“. As it is my passion cruising is my focus in that program. But I am sure to find some people beeing more into different topics like racing, boatbuilding or whatever else settles around sailing, travelling and sailors. (… read full story here)
