Welcome to

Saphir af Stockholms blogg

Here you can follow us, me Eva and my husband Edgar on our boat Saphir that will take us around the world

After searching for many years we found our sailing boat Saphir in Holland, eight years ago. We have sailed every summer since then and during those years we have seen parts of Estonia, Latvia, Denmark, Norway, Shetland, Fare Island, Orkney and Scotland. Now it is time for us to follow our dream to see more of the world from the water. This summer we will start our big adventure sailing around the world.
