Today was actually a normal day but we all got aware of the fact that we just have one month left here on board because we filled out our pages of the boardbook.

That is a book that everybody gets at the end of the journey and there is a Page for every crew member where they get introduced and there is also a foto of them. So I wanted to interview some of my board mates about their feelings when they think of getting home…

Sophia: It’s a mixture of feelings. I am looking foreward to my family and friends but I am also sure that I will miss the everyday life on a sailing ship. All the people here are gone and that is of course a sad thing.

Vincent: I miss my family and friends at home but the life here has gotten also a big part of my life. So thinking about home I have mixed feelings.

Mathilda: I don’t miss home because I like it very much here. The people, the water, the see, sailing, getting together every evening, I just enjoy the everyday life here.

Charlotte: At home I’m looking foreward to my family, my dog and some items we don’t have here, for example a washing machine that always works or a normal shower. But I know that I will miss the life here a lot too. Chilling on deck with my friends or tanning in the sun won’t be our everyday life anymore :((

Caspar: I will miss the people here, the sailing part and the sun. I like raising sailes or putting them down. But I am also looking foreward to come home.

Ruby: With me it’s actually the same. I will miss having always somebody around to talk to and having fun together. But I also miss my friends at home and I look foreward to my family.
