Working tribe on its way to Bohol...

We can never be bored on Infinity, brainstorming for sponsors ideas, fixing things, studying sailing books, but also laughing hard, trimming the sails, and visiting the Chocolate Hills in Bohol. Help us raise awareness and find new sponsors..Thank you, Stefinity

Still Calling for Sponsors

As fun and relaxed life onboard might sound for a few out there, working in closed, air conditioned offices, we are also working hard on keeping the expedition going and growing, so that we can realize our expedition goal and produce great documentaries. We are regularly holding 'groupings' (our term for meetings) to brainstorm on more sponsorship opportunities, and have been contacting a large amount of potential sponsors and or partners.

We are progressing, one step at a time, but also wanted to remind all our readers that any contribution would be greatly beneficial for the expedition, even in terms of suggestions on who you all think we should/could approach [use the comment space!] . On this line, we would also like to encourage you to contact us (www.infinityseatribe.com) and let us know any direct contact of people you might think could help us in our search for sponsors.

... because at the end of the day, we are still very small and counting our coins!!

Anchored in Bohol

A week since we arrived on the Island of Bohol, Philipines, anchoring off the city of Tagbilaran. As usual, passed the initial excitement of stepping ashore and discovering a new space, we soon realized how much we would need to work, if we wanted to get going soon. Bohol and Cebu (which is a few hour ferry ride from here), are our last chance to order parts for the boat, stock on large amount of groceries, and get materials for us to create the costumes for our Sea Dance Festival. So as usual, we are very busy, but the thought of sailing across remote islands very soon keeps everyone going.

Talking about everyone, there has been changes in the Infinity crew composition. It was time for Wim to continue his journey, so he headed to Hong Kong a few days ago.. Bon Voyage Wim, and keep the dream going :)
Besides, Ralph from Ireland, Kaelin & Jack from the USA and Julien from France joined the Infinity crew. A warm welcome to all of them, and cheers for the hard work they all had to contribute with, from day one on Infinity.
So we are now 16 adults and 2 kids on board... a real tribe indeed. We are still waiting for Tarunn from India to join us in Palau mid-August, after which the crew composition will remain constant until Hawai.

So here we are, anchored in Bohol, getting the boat ready, but also trying to keep up some of the routines and activities that regulate our life on board, such as cooking, reading, home schooling, practicing music or martial arts for a few, helping Clemens with the sail covers, and more.

And again, we are also all enjoying a few great 'days off' every once in a while, renting bikes to enjoy some amazing rides across the Island for some, finding new diving spots for others.

Life is good.

Geographical Update

We are leaving Puerto Princessa today, where we stopped for three days on our way to Cebu, where we should arrive around the 15th of July. 4 new crews and more sailing stories once in Bohol, stay posted for dolphin tales and and details about coral reefs close up experiences :)
