    We anchor and “beach” the boat to clean the bottom, and have a bit of excitement! Then we head into St. Malo

  • Iles Chausey

    Iles Chausey

    Only a few rocks visible at high tide and lots of dry land at low tide. We skip the packed holiday-time mooring jungle and anchor.

    From croissants and baguettes in Cherbourg, we stop and wait for good conditions to sail around the cape to Jersey.

    Our passage into France was 280 nautical miles in 3 days/nights. That’s not fast, but we’re not in a rush… great trip!

  • Out to Sea!

    Out to Sea!

    After inland waterways, locks and bridges, it’s time to head to the open sea and salt water… North Sea, here we come!

  • Braassemermeer

    Our trip through the canals south of Amsterdam to visit Wim’s daughter and newborn grand baby!

This is how it all started…

Thanks to Lovesail.com, a dating and social-networking website for people passionate about sailing, two avid sailors and full-time live-aboard cruisers from different countries halfway around the world (who were otherwise unlikely to have ever met), found each other. And so began the journey to share love and life, and fulfill their dreams together!

Dione IV first gets some enhancements and spa treatments in the boat yard, and then we sail off into the sunset!….
