Our travels begin
The sailing Mimpi travels started in October 2019 in a quaint Greek town called Preveza.
This is where we found our sailboat. After a formal inspection and survey, we allowed ourselves to fall in love.
Then we purchased our floating home and our adventure began.
To find out more about Mimpi visit our boat or check out our YouTube channel here. You can also review our Privacy Policy.
Below are stories and lessons we have experienced along the way.
Some good, some bad, some ugly. But that’s life really! Perhaps by sharing in this way others will learn from us and enjoy with us.

Marina bathroom rant
Bathroom talk What the fark do boys do in the bathroom? When I say boys, I mean men, fully grown presumably functioning-out-in-the-world-men. I realise the penis is a fascinating tool for anyone who has one but seriously you would think that after having it all of...
Lockdown on a 38-foot sailboat – week-by-week
