Ahoy, I’m Paul.
Sailor. Builder.
Storyteller.

A German transplant who traded dry land for Caribbean waters — and never looked back. This is the story of SV Anima, a rescued GibSea 402 that became my floating home, my workshop, and my reason to keep sailing further.

THE JOURNEY

I found Anima abandoned on a private pier in Bonaire — years of neglect, but a soul worth saving. I bought her, sailed her home to Curacao, and have been rebuilding her ever since: lithium batteries, new anchors, cockpit upgrades, and a hundred mysteries in between. She is no longer a project boat. She is home.

THE LIFE

Currently sailing the Caribbean and beyond, I document the honest reality of liveaboard life — the passages that humble you, the anchorages that take your breath away, and the repairs that test your patience. No filters, no sugarcoating. Just life under sail.
