Bravo Emma. Bravo Mattias. Thank you for this film that captured real sailing and venturing out there where it is you and your boat and your nature in the context of this earth. This was a refreshing story and a nice escape at the end of the day. Thank you Steve and OCH.

The vastness of God’s creation and creatures is probably best seen on His waters? Where else can a person be so lost and so found? Thanks and congratulations! Assume the babe has arrived? May all of your dreams come true!

Oh the doldrums. Her strumming and humming and songs. And, that poem! What a beautiful record of her journey. If you see this Emma, bravo on the voyage AND what you saved of it to share with us. Hope to cross paths with you in Sweden some day.

That voyage map across the upper and lower Atlantic was a giant “figure eight” of life.
So well done, thank you.

To Emma and Mattias, BRAVO for a lyrical voyage echoing the wandering tradition of the ancients, beautifully and sensitively filmed. Great music, too. Thank you Steve, for bringing them into OCH. Emma, when we crossed the Pacific in our 24-footer in 2012 we were becalmed for 3 weeks, so when you said you’d heard of someone being becalmed for so long, my ears perked up. I truly know that feeling of loss of control, it is both chaining and freeing. It makes you reach for depths you didn’t know existed. Best wishes for many, many good voyages and songs.
