Rolf Brink & Boukje Klinker

Travel the world and the seven seas, has been Rolf’s dream ever since he can remember. Boukje’s not so much, but love makes you do crazy things. Like getting on a sailing yacht and cruising the Pacific. That’s what we have been doing since august 2009.

Our adventure together started in Tahiti, but before that, Rolf already sailed from Amsterdam (our home port) to the Canary Islands, across the Atlantic Ocean, via the Caribbean, Panama, the Galapagos, across the Pacific Ocean to Tahiti.
