CAPRI: SAILING DISTANT SEAS

Carsten and Vinni Breuning, Mellemgaard

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 seven to eight-year circumnavigation on their 40ft Jeanneau Sunfast Capri. They will start again ‘from the bottom’ when they return. Meanwhile this 750-page book chronicles their 15,000-mile 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 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 lyrics ‘Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans’.
