Day 10 and 11

Day 10 and 11. Dive into shared streams. After many days of calm, the weather changes. It starts to blow 12kn or more. Let’s see how long the wind lasts. We’re more and more at sea. Here and there you can see dolphins. Very few fish. The Adriatic is pitifully empty and lifeless. A very sad body of water. It’s as if we live in a world we can’t see.

Day 6

Day six of the voyage. The sky is clear and the seascape is just glowing. It’s the second day of summer. Overall, it’s going very slowly. There’s no wind.

And so we set sail. Not just across the ocean, but across time. It’s more-than-sailing. It’s an echo. It teaches us to see, and every child on board is the seed of the future.

17. 6. 2025

After a week of intensive preparations, we yesterday 17. 6. 2025 launched Risho Maru on the Fiume Stella River. Our voyage, which we symbolically named Draw the island closer to you began and runs through several seas and one ocean to the home.

Marina Stella, Italy

When we arrived at the port yesterday to prepare Risho Maru for the journey, there were other @wharramcatamarans neighbors around us. Unfortunately Pahi in very bad condition.

It is currently 35 degrees in Italy.
