Vinni and Carsten drop their careers; sell their home and possessions in order to fulfill their lifelong dream. A dream of sailing around the world in their 40-foot sailboat, Capri. They left Copenhagen May 29, 2016.

From the Southern Cross to the North Star is the sequel to their popular first book, Capri – Sailing Distant Seas. Here they continue their brutally honest description of blue water cruising. The book describes their adventures, both on the ocean and at anchor throughout the Pacific. It describes a life that is diametrically different from their past professional lives.
