Capri – Sailing Distant Seas

Vinni and Carsten drop their careers; sell their house and everything they own so they can live out their dream of circumnavigating on their sailboat, Capri. They took in their landlines and sailed out of Copenhagen harbor May 29, 2016. In a detailed and capturing tale, they describe their adventure and their lives as cruising sailors. The authors are open and honest in their description and don’t paint a rosy picture of cruising. Instead, they mix the sweet with the sour, offering up a true-to-life depiction of their lives as “boat bums”. The book is not only a travel book but also a tale of their voyage of inner discovery as they discover new sides of themselves and their relationship. Their stressful daily life, filled with meetings and appointments is traded for a lifestyle where the days merge into one. Far from their previous experiences they meet challenges in strange environments and on threatening oceans. The book describes their first leg of the circumnavigation, the trip from Copenhagen over the Atlantic, up the east coast of the United States and their transit of the Panama Canal. Capri – Sailing Distant Seas can be enjoyed by not only sailors but also “landlubbers”.
