Join us for the exhilarating finale of the 2022 sailing season as we embark on a memorable voyage with our dear friends Fiona and Richard. Our journey takes us from Tarbert to Campbelltown, Lamlash, and finally to Largs Yacht Haven. As autumn sweeps across the Clyde, we experience the ever-changing weather that Scotland is known for-moments of sunshine, gentle rains, calm waters, and sudden ferocious gusts that keep us on our toes.
While exploring the Clyde's enchanting waters, we discover some promising fishing spots. However, our attempts are foiled by the abundance of mackerels. If you have any tips and tricks to share, please leave them in the comments section below. We appreciate any insights!
As we sail, our eyes are treated to a rare sighting-a Royal Navy submarine gracefully making its way to its homeport. Witnessing such majestic vessels reminds us of the hidden wonders that lie beneath the waves.
With this episode, we bid farewell to the 2022 sailing season. Wintering at Largs Yacht Haven, we eagerly anticipate the next season, just a few weeks away. The thrill of setting sail once again and the anticipation of new adventures on the horizon keep our spirits high.
Thank you for joining us on this incredible journey, and we sincerely hope you stay with us as we continue to explore the vast expanse of the sea. Let's embrace the spirit of adventure together!

Hi!
We are Kathrin and Daniel. We sail, cruise and live aboard our sailing yacht SV Polaris Helvetica, a 14m Bavaria Cruiser 46 from 2017. We left our native Switzerland and moved to the UK almost two decades ago. In 2021, in our mid 50-ies, after our three boys left the nest we made a big decision. We left the rat race in London behind and made our beloved sailboat our primary floating home.
Over the years we have added a few things to Polaris. We got rid of the standard propane gas cooker and replaced it with an electric cooker and oven. We fitted a generator and changed to a lithium (LiFePo) house battery bank. We added a 1'200W solar arch and a water maker. With all these upgrades Polaris is now a comfortable live aboard yacht. We sail her along Britain's beautiful coastline and we live on her summer and winter.
Kathrin loves cooking and baking on board. You will see some of her cookery wonders across our episodes.
We completely fell in love with our new lifestyle although we had to make some tough decisions. We vacated our rented house in London and sold or gave away all our belongings that had no space on Polaris. What a very liberating feeling to be able to say that all we own is with us on our small sailing boat. There's nothing else to care about. We enjoy our new freedom. We explore new places, discover their history and we love making new friends along our way.
