In their small cutter “Gypsy Life”, Harald Paul and his wife Silvia set out across the North Atlantic for Canada. Their destination is the Labrador coast, where they overwinter for six months on their ship in ice and snow. They become one with nature and let their readers share in all the dangers, but also in all the wonders they meet with.

Across the North Atlantic and back: the toughest expedition so far by Harald Paul, his wife Silvia and the ship’s dog Rats has succeeded. The DVD “Canada Adventure” documents their impressive journey of one and a half years on the “Gypsy Life” into the wilderness of Canada. Share in how the two adventurers cope with the hard daily routine far from any civilisation, and let yourself be enchanted by the rough nature and the unique wildlife.

“Northbound, To Spitsbergen by Motorboat” is the account of a journey that at first seems completely impossible. But Harald Paul proves that you do not need a big ship for a long passage.

Step by step he turns a Norwegian production boat only seven metres long into a vessel fit for an expedition, and despite all the warnings – “tired of life” was still the kindest term for the plan – Harald and his wife Silvia set off from Hamburg on a cold March morning after three years of preparation. Destination: Spitsbergen – a passage that will take them into the most secluded bays of Norway and beyond the Arctic Circle into the solitude of the ice.

They have reckoned on five months for the journey. Five months along the Norwegian coast, where they will meet crazy and warm-hearted people, get to know nature from its hard and its magnificent side and enjoy a piece of freedom that many people can only dream of. Five months that also put their relationship to the test and make it clear that nobody can conquer the sea – because out there you are only tolerated.

An exciting account of an adventure without parallel!

The extreme skipper Harald Paul is on his way with his wife Silvia from Holland along the coast of Norway to the polar region.

An adventure film that reflects the elemental forces between water and land. Come along with the two of them on their journey and let yourself be captivated by impressive shots of nature and wildlife and by the force of the sea!
