Porquerolles to Anse de Sainte-Croix ⛵

Our third day at sea also brought another milestone.

For the first time, we were actually sailing. It was only a short stretch, but after so many miles under engine, finally switching the engine off and letting FORTY-TWO move under sail felt incredibly special.

With every day, life aboard changes a little. The routines become more familiar, decisions become easier, and the boat feels less like something we’re still learning and more like the home we’ve dreamed of for so long.

Leaving one anchorage after another also changes your perspective. Water and power suddenly matter. The weather dictates your day. Every anchoring manoeuvre teaches something new.

By the time we reached Anse de Sainte-Croix, we had completed our third passage and our third night at anchor.

We’re certainly not experienced bluewater sailors yet.

But little by little, FORTY-TWO is becoming exactly what we hoped she would be:

Our travelling home. 💙

Small Milestones, Big Changes Aboard ⚓

Four weeks have passed since we moved aboard our catamaran on the French Riviera.

During that time, we received approval for our Panama residency, our RYA radio certificates arrived, we experienced our first thunderstorm aboard, welcomed a glowing jellyfish alongside the boat, and completed our first major refit project.

The biggest change was replacing the original gas oven with a modern Panasonic combination oven. What started as a simple appliance swap quickly turned into a three-day DIY project involving measuring, cutting, drilling, rewiring, and plenty of problem-solving.

And after restoring the neglected plancha, we celebrated with grilled tuna steaks and green asparagus in the cockpit.

Slowly but surely, this yacht is becoming our home.

Only on the French Riviera 😄

One afternoon, several Ferraris, McLarens and Porsches appeared directly beside our berth in Marina Baie des Anges.

For a brief moment, our catamaran found itself in rather exclusive company.

Looking at the lineup, we couldn’t help but smile.

Most of those cars could outrun us by a factor of ten.

But none of them are heading for the Caribbean. 🌊⚓

Choosing the Right Boat

Finding the right boat is not a single decision.

It is a process shaped by questions, trade-offs and changing perspectives.

At first, everything seems clear — size, layout, budget.
But with every viewing, new details emerge.

What looks perfect on paper might feel different in reality.
And sometimes small things turn out to matter far more than expected.

Not just to evaluate a specific boat, but to better understand what we are truly looking for — and what life on board might actually feel like.

Because in the end, it is not just about choosing a boat.
It is about choosing a future.
