What this video covers
Ivo and Dajana, the couple behind Silkap, sold their sailboat in 2025 after seven years of circumnavigation and now hold only a suitcase each, no fixed address, and no clear income plan.▶ 0:21 Ivo, recently retired with a monthly pension, wants minimal obligations; Dajana, approaching fifty, drained her savings funding the voyage and needs to rebuild income.▶ 0:53 The two announce a new land-based chapter and lay out the practical options they are weighing: house-sitting, dog-sitting, farm work, and work-exchange arrangements for lodging.▶ 3:34 They also plan to stay connected to sailing without owning a boat — offering themselves as delivery crew, signing nautical miles for Swiss sailing-license candidates, or doing boat maintenance.▶ 4:48 Their first destination is El Hierro in the Canary Islands, specifically a quiet, near-empty fishing village they describe as among the least-touristed corners of Europe.▶ 5:56 They are currently in Tenerife, the same island from which they departed on their Atlantic crossing.▶ 4:48 The central tension they name is not logistical but relational: reconciling a retired partner who wants to do nothing with a driven partner who must earn money while traveling.▶ 0:42
