Dropped off the Jeep & new truck for a few upgrades from a local company in Detroit, American Expedition Vehicles & received the full tour! Proud to support the local community & our friends at AEV, GM, & Jeep 💪🏻👍🏻 #aev #jl370 #atx4aev #jeep392 taken in American Expedition Vehicles - AEV by @sailing_vaster

Well this season’s a wrap…Väster has been home for the past 4 months and treated us well on the nearly 7,000NM sailed to the Caribbean. She’s now out for some spa treatments and we look forward to enjoying her here in paradise when it gets chilly again up north. We will miss you girl, thanks for keeping us safe and for all the adventures so far…best is yet to come! ❤️ taken in Clarkes Court Boatyard & Marina by @sailing_vaster

No wind, no problem…let’s fish. So I’m 6’2” 6’3” with the hair and this Tuna was more man than me…but tonight we eat well! It was a hell of a fight of over 2 hours on small tackle, but total team effort for Team Väster this afternoon, thanks for all the help Captain Ron! by @sailing_vaster

Performance cat doing performance cat stuff & we finally found a spot for Captain Ron where he feels safe. Under 500NM to Fernando and closing quickly. #nexusyachts #hallspars #doylesails taken in South Atlantic Ocean by @sailing_vaster

Solid progress on our journey from St. Helena to Brazil, 6 days in and averaging 220NM days on a jib and main. Thanks Nexus for building one hell of a boat that sails so well! #nexusyachts by @sailing_vaster

Land Ho! We made it to St Helena and it has definitely been an amazing experience. The best way to describe it is imagine sailing up to the Hawaiian islands 80 years ago. Cat made instant friends like usual and did a 3 hour gig at the St Helena Yacht Club (which we are all now official members of!) , now she’s famous 🤣. Exploring the island now and got to meet the islands most famous resident Jonathan the 197 year old Tortoise 🐢 #balance526 #nexusyachts #hallspars #doylesails #sthelena #sthelenayachtclub taken in St Helena Island - South Atlantic Ocean by @sailing_vaster
