How's going with Mr D?
You haven't answered yet who is the mysterious Mr D? I have one question for you, why don't you just block anonymous comments so you can immediately get rid of the trash?
I would like to know how you (Taru) stay so slim. You seem to be eating and enjoying a lot of good food and wine, so what's the secret??

You two are great inspiration to me, and I believe many others(!), so now I wonder who do YOU get inspired by?
Firstly: Thank you for sharing your amazing trip!! I have never ever sailed but God knows I want to when I read your beautiful blog :)
Here are my questions:
What do you miss from land? Must be something!
Was it hard for Taru to adapt to sailing life. Living on a boat?
Sorry to sound stupid, but doesn't everything on the boat get moist, I mean from moist, salty air? If so, how do you do to prevent your things from getting destroyed?
Isn't it hard to live so close to one another at all times? I know I would go crazy to live with my partner like that for so many years!
What are the best/worst sides about the other? (if too intimate, I apologize!)
Again, thank you for sharing, I read your blog every day. A daily dose of inspiration!

What route are you planning to take to the Pacific. I seem to remember you thinking of heading down the east coast of South America or is the channel a huge temptation?
jag undrar om du kan berätta om dina resor som yngre. vad är det viktigaste med att resa som ung? (är 23) vad bör man tänka på? vilka är dina favoritplatser i världen, varför? om du hade åkt tillbaks i tiden och var i min ålder, vad skulle du göra med ditt liv då? hade du rest, pluggat? tycker du att man är för ung för att binda sig till en pojkvän eller tycker du att man ska vara singel och upptäcka världen själv? du är så klok och skulle uppskatta dina råd. är i ett litet dilemma om vad jag ska göra härnäst. vet inte om jag sa stanna och plugga i sverige där jag har en nybliven pojkvän eller om jag ska ge mig ut i världen...
du är en stor inspiration! / camilla
What do you do for internet connection? Is wireless from shore plus internet cafes enough? Or do you have a satellite internet provider of some sort? I would think getting wireless from shore to your boat would be difficult because of distance and most people locking their wireless routers with passwords, right? Thanks!
Hello Taru and Alex
I wonder what island you would choose to settle down on. i'm planning to rent a flat or a house on St Martin or Guadeloupe and spend a year or two there. Guess I'm a bit tired of the cold winter in Stockholm and I can still see the marks on my skin after the three days of beach time I could spend during the so called sommer on the west coast. What island would you recommend for me?

I and my wife would love to sail around and be able to work from the boat. But what kind of work could it be? As for now we have our own biz.. selling bridal and evening dresses but it´s a bit hard to bring thoses on a boat like a HR 352. Any tips from you guys? I am a old sailor and I worked 13 years at sea b4 I started by present biz.. Any idea what to do?
Cute picture!
Is the rumor correct that it is "Tillerman" who's Mr D?
What plans are there for making your voyage into a book or movie?
Hi Taru!
I've fallen head over heals with your blog. Lovely pictures and you write beautiful texts I can reqognize myself in. It also remindes me of what I really want from this life - it's terrifyingly easy to loose yourself and your dreams in the everyday buzz.
I was wondering if you (and Alex) have studied, in case what? And when you were in Dubai and Barcelona, what did you do for a living?
Good luck further on, I'm going to follow you along the way :)

Alex,
just curious as to where you learned your composite skills? most people don't even have a clue how to do it, but when i look at your handywork it looks entirely professional. even the plywood bulkheads for the bunks, it really shows a true skilled craftsman.
