Capri: Sailing Distant Seas
Carsten and Vinni Breuning
Mellemgaard
£35
Carsten and Vinni Breuning sold their house in Copenhagen and most of their possessions. Vinni left her job as a hospital CEO as they set out on a 7-8 year circumnavigation on their 40’ Jeanneau Sunfast Capri. They will start again ‘from the bottom’ when they return. Meanwhile this 750-page book chronicles their 15000 nm voyage from Denmark to the exit from the Panama Canal, as they pause, amazed, on the edge of the Pacific. Theirs is a distinctive style of contemporary cruising, planned, budgeted and chronicled via blogging and YouTube – yet it can’t eliminate the unexpected. They carry their readers with them as they discover the truth in John Lennon’s ‘Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans’.
