Who we are

We are Andrea and Pauli. In 2023, we set off on a major voyage aboard our catamaran, *SYMI*, leaving Greece—our long-time "sailing home." We crossed the Mediterranean in the summer of 2023, then sailed across the Atlantic via the Canary Islands and Cape Verde Islands. In 2024, we made our way through the Lesser Antilles, and in 2025, we sailed from Grenada through the Bahamas and up to the Chesapeake Bay (USA). From there, we began our return journey to Europe via Bermuda in May 2026. We have been in the Azores since June 3, 2026. To date, we have sailed a total of approximately 13.521 nautical miles—roughly 21.400 kilometers.

The ultimate destination of our journey is Greece. In this way, the childhood dream I have held since reading Wolfgang Hausner’s books in the 1970s will be fulfilled, and Andreas’s sense of adventure—along with his quest for the new and unknown—will be satisfied. The greatest adventure of our lives is underway…

I composed, sang and recorded this song “Two chairs on the beach - Zwei Sesseln auf'm Strand” to go along with our trip. I hope you enjoy listening to it, even if its in german.
