deed&#8230; And find common ground! &#8211; Whether through the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, the Atlantic and the western Mediterranean (2021), through the Barents Sea and the White Sea in the north (2022), along the Volga, the Don and the edges of the Black Sea in the east and through the Mediterranean in the south (2023), in the most outlying areas on the edges of Europe, Daniel met people who consciously and happily live &#8216;off the beaten track&#8217;, but who have their personal centre there and do their very own thing, leading a perhaps unnoticed, materially modest, but nonetheless awesome life&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p><script async src=\"https:\/\/telegram.org\/js\/telegram-widget.js?22\" data-telegram-post=\"nourlnews\/30644\"

funny and disturbing. <strong>Life means making decisions &#8211; Daniel has lived intensely over the past few years! <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Every day, sometimes every hour, Daniel had to make irreversible decisions: when he unexpectedly encountered unfavourable wind and current conditions or a &#8216;standing&#8217; wave, turning back was no longer an option; when he had to deal with corrupt customs officials and their civilian allies, he had to balance between bluffing and damage limitation. This journey was no wishful thinking &#8211; it was often a case of finding the least bad of the miserable solutions: however he proceeded, Daniel had to accept the consequences. And move on. He also had to learn to navigate not only through fog and storms, but almost more so through his own deep-seated fears: &#8216;water&#8217; was a constantly challenging topic in every respect.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">With his own mix of open-minded curiosity and determination, appreciative humility and resoluteness, Daniel always found his course and reached his destination: <strong>it was often not skill but pure chance that he managed this masterpiece. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">During this journey, familiar and tried-and-tested patterns of behaviour were suddenly put to the test &#8211; Daniel sometimes had to react in a flash to the relevant circumstances and encounters, had to change his perspective time and time again or put himself in the other person&#8217;s shoes in order to gradually get closer to his goal. He had to look at tricky situations and a wide variety of people from different angles in a very short space of time in order to understand them. Because only those who understand their counterparts in good time can address their own wishes appropriately.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">In short, in order for this venture to succeed, Daniel not only turned his previous life upside down, he also gave up control again and again &#8211; and trusted his instincts and completely unknown people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>It was a success. He circumnavigated Europe in a RIB, despite all the adversities (Corona theatre, war over Ukraine). Daniel detached himself from structures that promised &#8216;security&#8217; and grew as a result.

The journey took Daniel further, along the Gulf Stream to the Lofoten Islands and around the North Cape to Kirkenes. From there he sailed through the Barents Sea to Murmansk and around the Kola Peninsula into the White Sea to Arkhangelsk. He continued through the White Sea to Solovky and Belomorsk, and through the rivers\/lakes\/canals to St. Petersburg and back to Tallinn via Finland.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Daniel saw and hiked rarely visited and barely touched landscapes, watched belugas at play and chatted with people of all stripes throughout the journey; he mastered the Barents Sea&#8217;s surges and the White Sea&#8217;s expanses (and endured the Russian administration&#8217;s eagerness), and experienced first-hand the effects of the war in Southeast Europe and the sanctions on both sides.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Three months, two worlds, one passion: sailing the northern waters with a simple (inflatable) boat, meeting people, exchanging ideas &#8211; and making new friends!<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:40px;margin-bottom:40px;width:100%;max-width:170px;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;--awb-sep-color:#027ef2;border-color:#027ef2;border-top-width:1px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-16 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-center fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"--awb-margin-top-small:0px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:20px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-center fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:44;line-height:2;\">CIRCUMNAVIGATE 2021<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element\" style=\"text-align:center;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-15 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"723\" title=\"map2021\" src=\"https:\/\/circumnavigate.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/map2021-600x723.jpg\" alt class=\"img-responsive wp-image-2509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/circumnavigate.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/map2021-200x241.jpg 200w, https:\/\/circumnavigate.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/map2021-400x482.jpg 400w, https:\/\/circumnavigate.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/map2021-600x723.jpg 600w, https:\/\/circumnavigate.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/map2021-800x964.jpg 800w, https:\/\/circumnavigate.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/map2021-1200x1446.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-7\" style=\"--awb-text-transform:none;\"><h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Around Europe in a RIB:<\/em><\/h6>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>White = Extended test rides to Finland and Haapsalu<\/em><br \/>\n<em>(For symbols see explanations in the corresponding blog)<\/em><\/h6>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Blue = Maiden voyage (May and June 2021: Tallinn &#8211; Hanko &#8211; Vaasa &#8211; Lulea &#8211; Raahe &#8211; Vaasa &#8211; Sundsvall &#8211; G\u00e4vle &#8211; Mariehamn &#8211; Tallinn).<\/em><\/h6>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Red = Circumnavigate Western Europe (July to October 2021: Tallinn &#8211; Riga &#8211; Gdansk &#8211; Bornholm &#8211; Kiel Canal &#8211; Lovestoft &#8211; Pentland Firth \/ Stromness &#8211; Caledonian Canal &#8211; Ballycastle &#8211; Aberystwyth &#8211; Newlyn &#8211; Loctudy &#8211; Royan &#8211; Santander &#8211; Cape Fisterra &#8211; Sagres &#8211; Barbate &#8211; Cartagena &#8211; Ibiza &#8211; Mallorca &#8211; Menorca &#8211; Roses &#8211; Port St. Lois &#8211; Lyon &#8211; Besan\u00e7on &#8211; Basel)<\/em><\/h6>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:30px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-17 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-center fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"--awb-text-color:#027ef2;--awb-margin-top-small:0px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:20px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-center fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;--fontSize:44;line-height:2;\">HOW IT ALL BEGAN<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-8\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\">In May 2021, Daniel started in Tallinn with his RIB and explored the northern Baltic Sea countries Estonia, Finland and Sweden extensively (maiden voyage).

It was already clear at that point that the originally planned voyage along the Lofoten Islands to the North Cape and the Barents Sea would no longer be possible because Norway kept its borders closed due to Corona. Consequently, Daniel extended his voyages in the Baltic Sea and sailed the entire Gulf of Bothnia up to the Swedish-Finnish border. &#8211; Daniel stayed in this area and enjoyed the uniquely sunny summer in Finland (with water temperatures up to 30 degrees!) in the assumption and hope that from mid-July, when his visa to Russia would become valid, he would be able to cross directly from the Finnish border island of Haapasaari to St. Petersburg. The new goal was to enter Russia and reach the Black Sea via the Volga and the Don.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel was already on Haapasaari and was betting everything on sailing the second stage (planned for 2022) instead of the first. But this plan also fell through shortly before the crossing, because now Russia has closed its borders because of Corona. (The visa remained formally valid, but entry had to be via the St. Petersburg airport &#8211; unfortunately, the ArgoFram is not an airship).<\/p>\n<p>Daniel decided to turn everything upside down: he went back to Tallinn, and from there headed west &#8216;without a plan&#8217; (but not purposeless); he followed Estonia&#8217;s coastline to P\u00e4rnu (Estonia&#8217;s summer holiday paradise), and then continued south along the Baltic States to Poland, from Gdansk to Bornholm, and via the Kiel Canal from the Baltic Sea to the North Sea. It continued along the German-Dutch North Sea islands across to England, then northwards to Scotland up to the Orkneys, and through the Caledonian Canal across to Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n<p>By now it has become September, and wherever Daniel went over all these weeks and months, the sun was shining! &#8211; A seemingly endless summer accompanied him on his way.<\/p>\n<p>The course now led southwards, via Ireland, Wales and Cornwall over to Brittany and on to Royan, the French town at the mouth of the Gironde, to arrive from there with a mighty &#8216;slide&#8217; through the Bay of Biscay directly to Santander in northern Spain!<\/p>\n<p>Along the Spanish north and Portuguese west coasts, Daniel enjoyed the &#8216;uplifting&#8217; waves of the Atlantic&#8230; before heading south-east along the Algarve towards Gibraltar. As he entered the Mediterranean, the sea suddenly became rough and choppy, but the beautiful bathing weather continued to accompany him around Ibiza, Mallorca and Menorca! &#8211; Daniel only reached the Spanish mainland again at Roses (near the French border), and soon he was sailing past the Camargue into Port St. Louis, where the Rhone flows into the Mediterranean. Now Daniel just had to go up the river and through the Rhine-Rhone Canal (where autumn welcomed him with a brilliant thunderstorm and frosty sub-zero temperatures), and he was off to Basel, where he arrived on 11 October.<\/p>\n<p>So Daniel spontaneously and &#8216;just like that&#8217; quickly travelled around western Europe in a rubber dinghy&#8230;, but at the same time everything that had been concretely planned and prepared (and paid for in advance) &#8211; in other words everything that could have been planned in any way at all &#8211; literally fell into the Corona water. Nothing turned out the way Daniel and the whole project team had imagined and prepared for it! &#8211; Is that why Daniel failed, measured against his own expectations?<\/p>\n<p>Well, Daniel simply approached the challenge the other way round. He is certainly not an adventurer, but he did not let himself be discouraged by world events either. And with his decision to set off late in the summer and against the originally planned direction of travel, he may even have taken a risk. In any case, he threw himself directly into the last stage (scheduled for 2023) without the corresponding experience &#8211; in order to sail this supposed final stage with its demanding passages and the open Atlantic Ocean as well as he could with his ArgoFram.<\/p>\n<p>No, it was more than just stubborn sailing: Daniel intuitively got involved in this unpredictable journey, took each day anew, was prepared to play along with wind and water, and was looking forward (that was his motivation, after all) to visiting and getting to know far-flung places with their people of the most diverse colour and culture and climatic living conditions! &#8211; Is there something that unites these people &#8216;despite&#8217; their remoteness?<\/p>\n<p>And yes, Daniel relied completely on his ship on his journeys from place to place, from coast to coast, from country to country: No matter what, he is convinced, the ArgoFram will carry him to Basel. &#8211; Sounds simple. It was, somehow.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel has covered more than 13,000 km since his first test trips in this half-year; he has mastered some &#8216;exciting&#8217; to tricky moments (Pentland Firth!), and with a lot of beginner&#8217;s luck, unharmed and enriched by many encounters, he has come from Tallinn to Basel. &#8211; Who would have thought that.<\/p>\n<p><em>The following &#8216;blogs&#8217; revisit the individual stages, chronologically from bottom to top, supplemented with photos and videos. &#8211; Daniel plans to pick up his 2021 journey in Port St. Louis next spring and continue it eastwards in the Mediterranean. How far he will get in 2022 remains to be seen.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><a class=\"fusion-modal-text-link\" data-toggle=\"modal\" data-target=\".fusion-modal.ModalBisherENG\" href=\"#\">\n<p><center>To the travelogue&#8230;<\/center><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-6 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling fusion-animated\" style=\"--awb-background-position:left top;--awb-border-sizes-top:0px;--awb-border-sizes-bottom:0px;--awb-border-sizes-left:0px;--awb-border-sizes-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-padding-top:35px;--awb-padding-bottom:35px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" data-animationType=\"fadeInLeft\" data-animationDuration=\"1.2\" data-animationOffset=\"top-into-view\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"max-width:1216.8px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-11 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column fusion-flex-align-self-flex-start fusion-column-no-min-height\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-flex-grow:0;--awb-flex-shrink:0;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:0px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-flex-grow-medium:;--awb-flex-shrink-medium:;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-flex-grow-small:;--awb-flex-shrink-small:;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-18 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-center fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-two\" style=\"--awb-margin-top-small:0px;--awb-margin-right-small:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-small:20px;--awb-margin-left-small:0px;--awb-font-size:54px;\"><h2 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-center fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"margin:0;font-size:1em;--fontSize:54;line-height:2;\">BLOG<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:40px;width:100%;max-width:170px;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;--awb-sep-color:#000000;border-color:#000000;border-top-width:1px;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-12 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-flex-grow:0;--awb-flex-shrink:0;--awb-margin-top-large:15px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:15px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-flex-grow-medium:;--awb-flex-shrink-medium:;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-flex-grow-small:;--awb-flex-shrink-small:;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-blog-shortcode fusion-blog-shortcode-1 fusion-blog-archive fusion-blog-layout-grid-wrapper fusion-blog-no\"><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-blog-shortcode-1 .fusion-blog-layout-grid .fusion-post-grid{padding:12.5px;}.fusion-blog-shortcode-1 .fusion-posts-container{margin-left: -12.5px !important;
