original flash format that we started with many years ago,
which has since (by Adobe Corp.) been thrown under the bus.

| A Journey to the Centre of the Earth Mediterranean - 4:52 min. - 1998 The sailing season of 1998 in a 5 minutes.

| Hejsan - år 2000 Esbo, Finland - 1:40 min. - 2000 The greeting, to folks back home, from our sailing adventures somewhere in the world had been delivered on the 30th of June every year from 1990 and 1999. In 2000 we had to change the date for this tradition, because from then on we wouldn't normally be on the yacht in June. We would spend the summer months June-August in Finland and the rest of the year sailing around the world aboard Scorpio. Therefore the greeting from 2001 and thereafter was filmed on the 16th of November - Captain's birthday. Spoken in Swedish. |
