110- Summer Sailing Adventure
Today on the show we have Rasmus Jensen who interviewed with us in the beginning of 2016 during our big break. We thought the interview had been deleted but were excited to find it on an old memory card! They set out on an awesome adventure and we’re glad Rasmus took the time to tell us all about it.
Before they started on their summer trip, Rasmus went to look at boats to purchase. They figured this would be a good way to travel and have a “home base” travel along with you. He said all it took was 1 step on the right boat to know it was the one for them and within an hour he started the paper work to purchase.
They left their home in Denmark as an Air B&B out their house and used that money and also his work as an independent illustrator to left them travel throughout the summer of 2015. The kids at that time were 6, 7, and 10 years old. He says the trip wasn’t all smooth sailing but living on a boat or full-time travel like that forces you to deal with problems as they arise.
The adventure began very slowly he said, and they adjusted to smaller spaces and learned the boat. Starting in the Balearic Islands off the coast of Spain and took almost 4 months to get to Greece, preferring the shorter passages and enjoying the time in spent in bay to bay.
Since the end of their last trip they headed back home only for a short time before heading out again on the next sailing adventure with plans of living in the Canary Islands for a year. The big plan is to make it around the world. Slowly but surely making sure to enjoy as much as they can along the way.
