In 1986, Anne Brevig and Martin Vennesland sold most of their worldly belongings and moved onboard their new sailboat, which they named "NOR SIGLAR", meaning "Northern Sailor" in old Norse.
For 5 years they lived onboard their 40 foot French sloop in Spruce Harbour Marina in Vancouver, to save money and prepare themselves and the vessel for an offshore adventure, which started in 1991 and ended in 2000.
So NOR SIGLAR, has not only been their faithful circumnavigator for 9 years - but their beloved floating home, their only home - for 15.
Their voyage has not "just" been a circumnavigation, but a life style.
During 56,000 nautical miles at sea, they visited 76 countries and island colonies, met interesting peoples from different cultures and had many, many exciting and touching experiences while also encountering dramatic and dangerous challenges.

I absolutely love the Anne & Martin pictures especially Anne laying on the tree and Martin steering in his birthday suit!! The scenery is spectacular, breath-taking and the story is one of great adventure and life - beyond inspiring. Places I dream of visiting, experiences I dream of having.
