Circumnavigating Sustainably
As a long-awaited dream, I am sailing the world’s oceans with Sindbad. I do this without having a tight schedule or a fixed return date. We stick only to the rhythm of Mother Nature. That way, I want to experience our planet, its cultures, lifestyles, and remote places.
Nature and climate crisis
As a sailor, I want to experience nature in its untouched beauty. Dramatically, this is not possible in the same way as it was only a few decades ago. The climate crisis is caused and sped up by us humans. Oceans acidify, the atmosphere is polluted by greenhouse gases, and hundreds of animal species die. This all happens in the blink of an eye, especially in the face of the many millennia our planet has taken to evolve and unfold its beauty. As humans, and thus members of the world’s intricate systems, we need to acknowledge our impact and do our very best to halt the climate crisis and preserve our planet’s fragile natural wonders.
Therefore, I plan to sail around the world in a clean way. Although it won’t be easy sometimes, I want to experience the fascinating nature of our blue planet without harming it. Unfortunately, I am aware of the many limitations of this aim, and I know that it is not possible to reduce the emissions caused by this journey to zero. Yet, there are plans and strategies on hand that will help keep the journey as sustainable as possible.
Sailing is a historical and ecologically friendly way of moving and transporting. Nevertheless, the production of many yachts does not aim for the longest lifetime of their boats, and more and more toxic waste is produced when yachts are scrapped. With this in mind, Sindbad is one of the biggest contributions to the journey’s sustainability. Built in 1930, she has had a long life already and is still in a fairly original shape.
The Travel Route
Join me as we sail across vast oceans, traverse uncharted waters, and explore the wonders of the world!
My voyage is guided by spontaneity, as I let the wind be my compass. While I embrace the spirit of adventure and discovery, I also have some planned routes in mind that I’d love to navigate. My goal is to circumnavigate the globe in a clean and sustainable manner, experiencing the thrill of exploration every step of the way. I seek alternative paths that bring me closer to the untamed beauty of nature. The Magellan Strait, the Beagle Strait, and the legendary Cape Horn, along with the challenging Drake Passage, offer exciting opportunities to test my skills and truly embrace the essence of sailing.
One of my ultimate destinations is the fascinating Galapagos Islands. Here, I can marvel at the wonders of evolution and gain a deeper understanding of our planet’s delicate ecosystems. Beyond their scientific significance, these islands hold a profound allure as a place where diverse animal and plant species coexist in harmony. It was in this extraordinary environment that Darwin’s groundbreaking theories emerged, forever changing my perception of the natural world.
Follow the Journey
Throughout my journey, I will share my remarkable experiences through blog posts and images on my Instagram account. Prepare to immerse yourself in awe-inspiring landscapes, encounter majestic marine creatures, and witness the triumphs and challenges of life at sea. Together, we can experience the power of the ocean and the vastness of the world, while reminding ourselves of the importance of preserving our precious environment.
Your support is crucial in realizing this extraordinary voyage. Whether through financial contributions or the donation of valuable items like old sea charts or equipment, you can play a significant role. By embracing the principles of reuse and recycling, we can reduce waste and support sustainable sail production for older boats, ensuring that my journey is as environmentally conscious as possible.
Join me on this thrilling adventure and let us discover the world together. Follow my updates, share my story, and be inspired. I would be honored to show people the possibility of discovering the beauty of this earth without having a bad impact on it. In today’s times, it is more important than ever before to understand the world and the ecological system as a whole. Discovering remote natural places and understanding the human impact on them is the best way to raise awareness for the importance of environmental protection. With my sailing project, the use of sustainable and reused resources I would like to inspire others to follow this path.
