Free as a bird. Lonely as the sea.
Ecolution is a sailing yacht, which will sail year round and world wide, summer and winter, throughout the world, operated by her two owners. A professional crew is not needed. Living on Ecolution for extended periods is intended so she will be built to feel warm and comfortable, like a home.

Please do read the previous post about Wubbo Ockels, the innovator and inventor of this ecologically-sound ship, which is in fact a very luxuriously furnished home

Amazing! We once toyed with the idea of living aboard but we already had too many books to make it practical. Now, of course with electronic books ...
Gorgeous skies and an incredible boat! How fantastic to be able to live on that and be able to see the world at the same time! Superb captures, Wil! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Outstanding SkyWatch pictures. The boat looks like a fun place to spend a few weeks, however, I don't think I would want to live on it year round.
Sounds interesting, worth experiencing I am sure.
Great shots.
Les deux premières photos sont très poétiques...
Quelle netteté dans la deuxième série!
I just love that shot with the birds! The yacht is preciously pretty!
That really is an amazing boat, Wil.
Great shots... fabulous boat! And love that lonely seagull.
What a stunning vessel, though I'd prefer to stay on Terra firma!
"sailing the world" ~ sounds so wonderful, thanks for sharing
I love the wake of the boat and the gulls against the clouds, and I wish I could sail just once on that lovely ecosensitive yacht.

Nice photo of the ship and the birds...I noticed the Bike is also teathered to the dock cleat that the ship is teathered to...good idea..keeps people from taking away their ground transportation.
very nice post. i wouldn't mind spending a year sailing the world in that vessel.
This looks fascinating - hadn't heard of it. must ask hubby's niece if she ever heard of it, she worked with luxury yachts bringing them to different ports for their wealthy owners. love your photos of the Veluwe too, never been there.
All the best, Catherine
That's one lovely yacht - would love to sail on that. Super photos as always Wil.
I think it would be wonderful to spend an extended period on that yacht. It's a beauty and it definitely looks comfortable.
What an appealing life - to live on a boat and travel continuously but still be at home.
Als je die boot bekijkt dan zou ik daar ook wel eens mee willen meevaren hoor
I'm even more impressed than the last time you showed us this boat and its concept. Like you, I wished
I could afford one ;-)
PS Today I even have benches...
beautiful boat! a perfect vessel to sail on a perfect weather like that!
Happy Weekend!

He Will, great the expalination of a ship, you are so good in that, nice shots too, (I am back after the death oif my dog I was having blogbreak) greetings JoAnn/Holland
incredible boat! i envy the first passengers of this boat for experiencing it first-hand. great shots.
What a beautiful ship. I could definitely make that home. Living on the water was a long ago retirement dream. Wonder where it went.
That is the most sparkling clean head I have ever seen on a ship.
Looks like the boats that James Bond movies will screen.
I don't have luck with boats, I get sea sick, even smallish launches that go up and down our Rejang river when I was young make me sick.
I've always had this wacky idea about living on a ship. lol
For these people it's a reality. wow.
Interesting boat picture and concept. I have thought it possible to construct a floating house that goes with the wind but nobody will take me up on it. You may end up over Siberia in the morning and China on Sunday and pass over Iwo Jima on Tuesday. Things like that are most interesting to me. Who owns the right to float in the air? Nobody has done it yet.
wow a very smart comfortable boat Only wubbo could thnk out something like this
Goodness! An incredible space.
That's an incredible boat, to be sure. That must be an incredible life on a sailboat.
Thanks for your post on my blog. I was deeply touched.
