On my voyages around the world, I have witnessed firsthand how nature has changed. The biodiversity has narrowed and continues to do so; there are fewer birds, fewer fish, fewer sea mammals. All the trash in the sea and the smog above the shipping routes are giving a strong signal.
As someone who loves nature and the sea, and also speaking as a grandfather, I want to take action to preserve this beautiful planet for generations to come. In my future projects, I want to work in cooperation with companies and organizations that are part of the solution, not part of the problem. I want to promote innovations, concrete solutions, and ways as to what we can do, to keep our planet clean, diverse, and viable.
We still have time to put it right!
It has arrived! Galiana’s new engine got stuck in the Suez Canal traffic but finally it’s here! A few more days and we'll be out sailing!
Should have sailed down there, installed the engine in the Suez canal and sailed home!
Nice! How much you can count operating hours for one sailboat engine approximately before it needs a bigger service or replacement?
Tiukkaa lihaa Koko mies Ja mikä sitkeys Usko Selkeys Ja vastuu Hyvä. Tapio
Särmän näkönen mööpeli!
Good!
The last combustion engine you'll ever buy?
No nyt on moottori💪💪
Helpottaahan toki tuo satamamanöövereitä..
Oli ilo ja kunnia saada Ari poikineen saunaan! Meitä yhdistää kunnioitus suomalaista valtameripurjehdusperinnettä kohtaan, Gustaf Eriksonin parkkilaivat tunnettiin aikoinaan maailmalla siitä, että ne toivat vuosittain viljalastinsa ja miehistönsä turvallisesti Kap Hornin ympäri Eurooppaan. Pidetään se legacy hengissä!

Maapallon kiertäneet yksinpurjehtijat Ari Huusela ja Tapio Lehtinen toteuttivat joulukuussa sopimansa saunareissun. Savusaunassa muisteltiin lämmöllä menneitä ja suunniteltiin tulevia. HS oli muk...Hauska juttu ja hauska tapa nauttia elämästä 😘.
Hieno artikkeli!
Oli hieno juttu 👌
Hyvän tuulen juttu purjehduskaveruksista😀
Mitä "Merten viljaa" saitte haalittua veneen sisälle? Pohjan viljelys oli Tapion veneessä kyllä satoisa 😀😖
Nyt pokkarina, esim. Akateemisessa, 9,90€
No Ari Huusela tapetilla Mutta kyllähän Tapion Matka On ollut kyllä paljon Rankempi 60 luvun asetuksilla Hanhen kaulat Ja välineistö Mietin kirjaa kuunnellessa Että 8n rohkea Ja tasapainoinen Kaveri Kun. Kaikki menee päin Sutta Yhteudet on mitä on Että ei keskeytä Vaan. Uskoo Uskoo ja uskoo Ja loistava suoritus
Hieno mies Hyvä kirja Valtavasti sisua Ja uskoa
Hieno kirja, jossa pääsee mahtavasti yksinpurjehtijan matkaan mukaan. Iso suositus kaikille niin purjehtijoille, kuin muillekin hyvistä kirjoista pitäville.
Vahva suositus!

Today is the International Day for Biological Diversity.
Between my two circumnavigations, the Whitbread Round The World Race 1981 and Golden Globe Race 2018, there were almost 40 years.
During the GGR long months spent in the solitude and pristine cleanliness of the Southern Ocean, and the long nights under the starlit skies of the Atlantic, there was plenty of time for contemplation. Becoming aware, at first hand, of the diminishing numbers of life at sea, be it birds, fish, or sea mammals, and the trash in the sea and the smog above the shipping lines, gave me an alarming signal.
I’m also a grandfather, and in my future projects, I want to commit to cooperate with companies and organisations that are part of the solution. Together we will raise awareness of the possibilities that technology and innovation offer for taking action to preserve the planet for generations to come.

Suloinen pieni purjehtija! Sydämelliset onnittelut!
Like barnacles?
WHO ist the little Sailor ?
💫👌
Visible as well as non visible biodiversity is declining. Both very worrying. #ReconnectingNature is a must.
One of the things I appreciated very much was that Bernard Moitessier’s Joshua had been sailed from La Rochelle to welcome me at the finish line. Merci encore La Musee Maritime La Rochelle! museemaritime.larochelle.fr/un-avant-gout/les-incontournables/joshua
Hoppas du får så igen!
Two years ago I crossed the finish line - in one year, three months and two weeks I’ll be crossing the start line again:)!!
The barnacle problem caused me to spend 322 days at sea. I have considered an application to be included in the Guinness Book of Records claiming that during the history of sports no one has ever finished any competition in any sport as long after the winner as I did - finishing 100 days after my friend and the winner Jean-Luc Van Den Heede and one month after the prize giving. On the other hand, I enjoyed every single day at sea enormously, was happy to get more sailing days per entry fee euro than any of my competitors:). And was overwhelmed by the warm welcome by the people of Les Sables d’Olonne with mayor Yannick Moreau on one of the tens of boats following me to the finish line and thousands of people waving at the breakweater and along the harbor walls, my dear friends Foise & Gilles Cossot among others. Southern Ocean is addictive, but so is Les Sables d’Olonne - the City of Single handed Ocean Sailing. Thank you, I eagerly wait to start again - with a better antifouling:)!!
Thank you also Don & Jane McIntyre & team for organizing a great race, I am looking forward to do it again!
Looking very much forward to your next go, without barnacles this time. Wishing you a safe and successful coming Race!
You know your books so well by now, maybe just take the index pages and remember the rest...would save you some hundreds of kilos & X hours. Next time the goal should be to have the most expensive entry fee per hour...😉
I’m so happy I could make it to LSO that day 😊, the atmosphere was incredible, so joyful, so emotional 🤩. Thanks Tapio for keeping us dreaming a bit longer , thanks Don & Jane for making this whole crazy dream a reality 😍💪🙏
Hyvä Tapio! Oikin mielessäni suositella sinulle toisenlaista antifouling-ratkaisua, mutta kiva kun olit miettinyt samaa ihan itse. 😆
As someone who has never sailed or knows nothing about sailing, following your journey, listening to the weekly calls and worrying about the upcoming winds was truly exciting. Can't wait for the next one!
Jalat harvoin maassa enää 😂 haaveista totta
Looking forward to following your progress again from Australia 🇦🇺
Kudos for your remarkable achievement dear Tapio Lehtinen! Which antifouling are you planning to use this time?
You are a poem
Serious barnacles !
Your Norwegian supporters are ready for another go around the World!
Great job!
More days per entry€...😅
You and the barnacles!
Go Tapio!
thats the spirit 💙💙💙
Wooop! Excellent news Tapio Lehtinen!
