What this video covers

Thilo and Leonie have decided against sailing their current boat across the Pacific Ocean, citing the vessel's age, small size, limited comfort, and slow speed.4:04 They determined that the high cost of necessary safety upgrades and equipment, such as diving gear, does not justify the investment for their current platform.5:25 Instead, the pair plans to sail toward the Bahamas, the U.S. East Coast, and Canada over the next one to two years.7:46 They recently secured a 10-year B1/B2 visa for the United States to facilitate this route.7:26 Their long-term goal involves acquiring a larger, faster, and more reliable boat capable of supporting extended voyages, potential cold-weather sailing in Greenland, Iceland, and Norway, and hosting additional crew or guests.9:45 They intend to continue their circumnavigation in stages, prioritizing coastal exploration and safety over a direct route.7:08
