Right now, we’re putting in the work to get Eva ready for our big adventure. She’s still safely docked at her birthplace for the moment: Jachtwerf Atlantic in Harlingen, Netherlands.
Soon, we’ll be testing her out with a trip to Lowesoft (England), and then off to Copenhagen (Denmark). Check the “What’s next” section further down to read more about our upcoming trips to Lowesoft and Copenhagen.

What's next
Lowesoft
If the weather cooperates, we intend to sail from IJmuiden, Netherlands, to Lowestoft, England, and back. It’s our first overnight journey on Eva, and needless to say, we’re pretty stoked about it. Or as Rasmus put it: “My whole body is tickling of excitement of getting going!”.
Alongside the regular crew -Rasmus, Coen, and Femke- we’ll have some extra hands on deck: Jelle, Wouter, and Bart are friends of Coen who know their way around a sailboat. With six of us aboard, it’s going to be quite cozy!
While Lowestoft is not on anyone’s travel bucketlist, the real adventure for us is the journey to England. It’ll be a chance for us to get some experience with night watches and navigating after dark, which will come in handy for our upcoming trip to Copenhagen.
Copenhagen
When Eva is safely back in NL after the crossing the English Channel, Coen and Rasmus will head north and set sail course towards Denmark. Going through the Kiel Channel, the first destination will be Svendborg on the southern coast of the island of Fyn.
Svendborg serves as the gateway to the South-Fyn Archipelago, renowned as a prime sailing area dotted with numerous beautiful islands. Beyond its status as a vibrant, community-driven town attracting urbanites in search of tranquility and proximity to water, it’s also home to Trine and Rasmus’ friends, Kasper & Louise. Kasper, who boasts the highest qualifications in marine navigation and mechanics, will provide us with an in-depth crash course on marine engines and electrical systems.
After leaving Svendborg, we will move on towards Copenhagen, where Trine will join the crew along with our diving equipment, spare parts, etc. As dark and dull as Copenhagen may seem in winter, it transforms into a lively and bustling hub during the summer. People come out of their winter hibernation, flocking to the parks, and reveling in the long summer evenings until the early morning when the early birds signal the birth of a new day.
Finally, Trine and Rasmus will get to say goodbye to friends and family when they throw a goodbye-party, after which we’ll set sail with a southbound course.
