Household chores also have to be done when you live on a sailboat 😂⛵
..just sometimes a bit improvised 🤪

Wait until you see our boat 2 years later... 👀

The first video was taken 2 years ago when we bought her... rusty, dirty, covered in shells...

We accepted the challenge and saw the potential in her. Today, she's back to life with a whole new look. 😎🌶

Same boat.
Same place.
2 years later. 🌶⛵✨

Would you have given this boat a second life? 🙃

Movie night on a sailboat 🍿⛵️✨

The best movie ever is just watching nature's spectacle. We really appreciate being so close to nature with our new life on the sailboat. 🌅⛵️

You don't need a television when you have a 360° view that's always changing
These are the moments that make all the hard work we had/have on our boat worth it ❤️

What's your favourite nature movie? 🎬

I guess ours is sunrise or sunset. ✨️

Our motorbike's very first sailing journey 🏍⛵🌊

Fun fact: 5 years ago, when I painted our motorbike, we weren't even talking about sailboats yet. We had no clue that one day we'd be living on one 😅

We only got into the whole sailing bubble about 4 years ago, so it's quite a coincidence that I painted a sailboat on our bike back then...
.. I guess it was already our motorbike's dream... and maybe ours too ✨

Now she's sailing along the beautiful Algarve aboard Peperoni, and a dream that once sounded completely crazy is slowly becoming reality. 🥹🌊⛵🌍

What are your dreams that sometimes feel a bit crazy? 💭👇

How do you get a motorbike onto a sailboat? 🤔🏍⛵

Quite a vibe being able to ride our bike right next to our boat 🙃 well, 6 hours later it is all water again, so it had to work out 🤪

With Jeroen's self-built crane system, we managed to get her onboard easier than expected 😅

Cavalla, our off-road travel bike has already been part of many adventures, so of course she had to join the crew and start riding the waves too 🌊 Sometimes we'll take her ashore and go exploring on land 🤠

Join the journey from land horse to seahorse 🌊🏍🐴

(and yes, she will get rusty... We'll do our best to rinse off the salt regularly and protect the chain etc.)

Would you take a motorbike onto a sailboat? 🙃

Boat life never gets boring for sure 🤪⛵️

One minute you're checking how much the anchor dragged overnight... the next minute you're stuck in mud having to be rescued and your dinghy looks like a swimming pool 🙃
.. strong winds and one final low-tide mission before we leave on the next high tide... 🌊
👀 Stay tuned for the next video!

Hint: We're picking up a new crew member. Any guesses? ⬇️

After a harsh winter on anchor, we were curious to see how our Silic One antifouling had performed...

We were really happy to see how easily the growth wiped off — no scraping and barely any scrubbing needed 🙌

We chose Hempel Silic One because:
• It's completely biocide-free 🌊
• Marine growth has a harder time sticking to it
• It can clean itself to a certain extent when the boat is moved regularly
• Easy maintenance and cleaning 🧼
• It can help reduce drag through the water ⛵️
• It can last up to 5 years before needing to be reapplied

Slick Hull Yacht Services did a great job doing our outside hull 🌶✨️

Anyone else here using Silic One? We'd love to hear about your experience. How long were you able to leave it before reapplying?

And for those using a different antifouling system, which one do you use and how has it worked for you? 👇🤓

thank youuu 🫶🏻

During our 10 months refit, not only the boat got a shiny red Peperoni look 🌶 but also shiny new standing rigging and running rigging by .portugal

We are very happy that we chose Pete Keeping for this job. It’s a small family/friends team, all very efficient, friendly, funny, and qualified. It was always a delight when they came, and also very interesting to observe. Communication was very easy, they answered all our curious questions with great joy and we could learn so much.

… and the journey is not over yet.
When the boat is in the water, they do the final tunings, sails go up, and we go for a sail check ⛵️
Peperoni is now ready to safely sail us through this world ⛵️🌶🌍 Thank you! 🫶

office is located in the Parchal boatyard in the Algarve, where you can also buy and order a lot of great materials and equipment.
