Isbjorn giving a wink in the afternoon sun in Rödhamn. It's been an awesome week in Åland...tomorrow morning Mia & I sail for Sweden! 🇸🇪#isbjornsailing #feelalive
Front page news! #isbjornsailing made the cover of today's Nya Åland paper for having sailed 7,000 miles for Mia's best friend's sons baptism! #godfather
Andy driving Arcturus, a 35-ft 1966 Allied Seabreeze yawl & our first boat, across Åland's Hav (Sea of Åland) back in 2013, the last time we sailed to Mariehamn almost 4 years ago. There can't be too many people who've sailed TWO different US-flagged boats across the Atlantic to Åland! #feelalive #tbt #nofilter @miapahavet
Mia, Steve & Greg looking out for schooners at sunset en route to Åland 🇦🇽. Isbjorn was sailing fast into the long twilight, blasting north at 8 knots! #isbjornsailing #feelalive #schoonerweather

#tbt In 2013 Mia & I sailed Arcturus into our friends 'stuga' on Åland. We're here again this week, 4 years later, having sailed Isbjorn into Mariehamn (she's too deep to get to the stuga!). We've GOT to be the only people to have sailed TWO different American-flagged boats across the Atlantic & into Åland ;) 🇺🇸🇦🇽 #offshoresailing #swan48 #isbjornsailing
Happy birthday to ship's photographer James Austrums! I couldn't find a single photo of HIM (cause he's always behind the camera!), so here's one he took instead! #isbjornsailing banging to windward on the long beat into Lerwick, Shetland. #feelalive #swan48 #offshoresailing #wearewildtribe @jamesaustrums
Isbjorn's first landfall in Åland 🇦🇽, the semi-autonomous archipelago between Sweden 🇸🇪 & Finland 🇫🇮. Believe it or not we actually SAILED off this dock this morning en route to Mariehamn, the island's capital ;) #swan48 #feelalive #isbjornsailing #nofilter #seamanship #sailing #sailinglife
@miapahavet & Steve driving Isbjorn north through the Baltic the other night as the sun got lower on the horizon, Steve doing a fine job checking sail trim ;) #offshoresailing #feelalive #isbjornsailing #swan48
3:30am...This morning, en route from Visby to Åland, marked Mia & my 105th day at sea in 2017. I'll never get sick of the sunrises out here...#isbjornsailing #offshoresailing #feelalive @hellyhansen @sparkmanstephensswan @nautorswan_official
Magical, magical sunset last night en route towards Åland! We caught the schooner 'Reesle' just as the sun kissed the horizon & managed to hail her skipper on VHF. She's bound for a winter refit in Holland 🇳🇱& then will sail onwards towards Australia 🇦🇺! #isbjornsailing #offshoresailing #feelalive #offshoresunset #sailing #magichour
Mia rockin' her @blaggards t-shirt at the helm of #isbjornsailing in a boisterous Baltic today! Thanks Wayne for bringing them! #onthewindpodcast #stoutirishrock 🇮🇪 🇺🇸 🇸🇪🎸🎻
We blasted past a Polish boat yesterday morning down off the south coast of Sweden...they called us on VHF, and after @miapahavet spent a good, confusing ten minutes trading email addresses using the phonetic alphabet (there are LOTS of consonants in Polish!), they sent us some AWESOME photos! Here's one! 🇵🇱 🇸🇪 #sailingfriends #feelalive @sparkmanstephensswan @nautorswan_official #isbjornsailing #offshoresailing
Spinnaker sailing along the coast of Öland! #isbjornsailing #spinnaker #segling
Full focus sailing into Copenhagen the other night! We sailed through the outer breakwater & all the way up the channel into the city basin opposite the opera house, going 7.5 knots & dodging the little canal boats! Dinner & beers ashore was a fun motivator 😉🍻 🇩🇰 #swan48 #feelalive #isbjornsailing
Almost exactly five years later, Isbjorn is crossing tacks with Arcturus! @miapahavet & I sailed around Sweden 🇸🇪 in August 2012, the summer after our first Atlantic crossing. We're still using the same paper chart, and retracing the same route into the Baltic towards medieval Visby! #feelalive #isbjornsailing #swan48 @sailingarcturus
12-hour pit stop in #Copenhagen! 🇩🇰 🍔 🍺 #isbjornsailing #notsailing #ølmeansbeer
Good morning Skåne! A blissful night sailing close-hauled down the Kattegat, & now this sunrise just north of Helsingborg ;) That's Wayne concentrating on keeping Isbjorn 'high & fast' in a dying breeze in the 3rd image. #feelalive #hellyhansen #isbjornsailing #västkusten #bästkusten @nautorswan_official @sparkmanstephensswan
A new adventure is about to start, Leg 10 from Marstrand towards Stockholm w. crew John, Steve, Greg & Wayne! #isbjornsailing #swan48 #Marstrand @miapahavet @planetthreeexplorer
A swan and a swan... #Marstrand #isbjornsailing #swan48 @nautorswan_official @sparkmanstephensswan
