Sailing around the world with family 1977 to 1984: documentary online
Joachim Campe filmed how his family was one of the first to circumnavigate the world. The spectacular footage is now available online. It starts with an interview

From 1977 to 1984, the Campe family, four children and a teacher sailed around the world on the steel schooner "St. Michel", travelling remote routes. The project was financed by a travel documentary, which the self-taught filmmaker shot at the highest level for public television. At the time, the footage was broadcast in 13 episodes under the title "Sailing around the world with family".

After Campe Senior ( Interview in YACHT 22/2019 ) once again circumnavigated the world in his old age on the same boat, the public started to take notice again. In an interview with YACHT, Joachim Campe revealed what drives him and what he wants to convey.

In addition, the spectacular documentaries will gradually be made available from 14 March on the YouTube channel Sailing Learning By Doing on the internet. In the first episode, which is already online, the blue water sailor explains how the recordings were made and what motivated him to make this unusual journey.

Before the first episode of the documentary "Sailing around the world with family" is broadcast on 14 March, Joachim Campe talks about the past in an interview
