4 days, 5 flights, 700 USD for C19 tests After a year at sea, we are travelling back to Europe together for the first time on Sunday. At least we’re trying to. It’s time to see family and friends in Luxembourg and Germany again. For those of you who still have hazy memories of travelling …
The new freedom Oh happy day. I can’t tell you how much we were looking forward to this injection. We did it in the middle of the week and are now finally fully vaccinated. This will make our further journey so much easier and it will save us some quarantine and a lot of hassle. …
Meeting my loved ones When we sold the house I knew a big part of my home was now gone. So I was always curious to see what it would be like to return home after sailing away. In March, 3 weeks ago, the time had finally come. After two – thanks to Covid – …
Experiences after 7 months on board Today I am sitting in the marina of Bas-du-Fort in Pointe à Pitre – alone for once – and I realise that it has been 10 months since we left Luxembourg. We have been living aboard Rivercafe for 7 months now. First in Europe, now in the Caribbean. As …
Everyday life at sea When reading most travel or adventure blogs, it’s easy to get the idea that the sun is always shining and everyone is in a good mood and drinking cocktails all the time. The contrast, however, is that everyday life at sea often looks very different. At least not for us, even …

ARC+ ahead of us We slowly get back into the groove. It is normal again that “right” means starboard and the kitchen is called galley. Our German speaking share is decreasing while English is becoming more common. We begin to enjoy life on board and are now very happy that we have switched to a …
The time of the optimists in Las Palmas Wanderlust and an empty wallet go just as well with a cream cake with anchovies. Imagination and courage are needed if you still want to travel. Sailing to the Caribbean as a hitchhiker, for example. That’s why in the time before the ARC (Atlantic Rally for Cruisers), …
So many “first times” So that was it, our real, own maiden voyage. At 55 nm, only about one hundredth of the maiden voyage from Cape Town, which isn’t considered as such as Ka and I were not on board. At 7.30 a.m. – it was still pitch dark – we left Santa Cruz de …
