About me

The love for moving around the world is not a choice, but a necessity to satisfy one’s fate. The traveller just has to move, otherwise he’d feel exceedingly unhappy. Simple as that. To me life spent in the same place is worse than just a wasted chance, but a neglected duty that our own judgement, the earthly and practical version of the catholic one, will condemn severely.

My experience

Approaching 70,000 miles of sailing mainly in high altitudes, from Alaska to Patagonia and back north to Norway and Svalbard, with several ocean voyages with and without crew, between Atlantic and Pacific ocean. I wrote various books and articles about ocean sailing in general.

Sailing adventure in Norway: chasing the Northern Lights

I was delighted to have the opportunity to experience sailing in this part of the world. The location and scenery was stunning. Marco and his wife Britta were excellent hosts. They take extra measures to ensure their guests are looked after. Marco was a very knowledgeable and experienced sailor and I would hope to have the opportunity to visit this area and sail with them again. Grazie Mille

Wonderful experience, I would repeat. Seen the orcas and auroras! The eclectic Captain Marco is very competent and helpful, the very active Britta is super welcoming, attentive to everyone's needs. A stay in their very special home for the warmth, sympathy and "feeling at home". Thank you!

Islands at the edge of the world

A simply wonderful holiday, led by a caring and exquisite skipper from every point of view, on a boat that makes us regret the direction taken by the shipyards in the last 30 years, in an environment that has often left us speechless. Marco and Britta live in Vannoya, one of these islands at the edge of the world that we had the opportunity to visit, and they manage to share with their guests all their enthusiasm for these places. I can't imagine better guides! A small warning for those thinking of embarking on this journey: you will want to return to visit new friends, to get your hands on the wheel of the helm, to visit the cozy Haus of Books. Thanks again Britta and Marco, see you soon!
