Sailing Stories & Sea Treasures
Adventure is our way of life. We share it through words, images, and handmade pieces of the journey.
Welcome to our website
We are Jeroen, Aagje, and Rajesh (Karki) van den Heuvel.
Three years ago, we left behind the ordinary to chase something wilder — a life of freedom, adventure, and deep connection. With curiosity as our compass and the sea as our guide, we set sail as a family into the unknown.
What started as a journey through the Caribbean quickly turned into an epic voyage across oceans and cultures. We’ve danced with trade winds in the Bahamas, anchored in the turquoise bays of Isla Providencia, wandered through the lush wilds of Panama, and crossed one of the world’s greatest engineering marvels: the Panama Canal.
In April 2024, we made the leap across the mighty Pacific — a bold crossing that brought us to the heart of French Polynesia, where we’ve now spent nearly a year living, learning, and loving the sailing life. And the horizon keeps calling — next stop: Fiji, April/May 2025.
This website is our floating journal . A space where we share stories from the edge of the map, salty lessons from life at sea, and glimpses of the wild beauty we encounter every day. If you’re a sailor at heart, a dreamer, a wanderer, or someone searching for a spark — welcome aboard.
May our journey inspire yours.
Fair winds and following seas,

Discover my art- The World of Dots
When I’m not sailing across the Pacific, I dive into another kind of ocean – one of colour, rhythm, and emotion.
Over at The World of Dots, I share my love for dot painting – an art form inspired by nature’s perfect geometry and the soulful stories behind every journey. Each piece is created with care, patience, and a touch of wanderlust.
From vibrant abstracts to peaceful mandalas, my paintings are more than decoration – they are moments captured in colour.
Looking for something truly personal?
I also create custom-made pieces on request. Let’s bring your vision to life, dot by dot.
Visit https://theworldofdots.com to explore my art collection, or get in touch for a commission.
Let art take you places – just like sailing does.
