From 1977 to 1984 the Campe family sailed around the world with four children and a teacher on the steel schooner "St. Michel" on remote routes. The project was financed by a travel documentary that the autodidact shot at the highest level for public television. The recordings were then broadcast in 13 episodes with the title "circumnavigating the world with family".
After Campe Senior (interview in YACHT 22/2019) once again circumnavigated the world with the same ship from her old age, the public took 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 put on the Internet on the YouTube channel Sailing Learning By Doing from March 14th. In a first episode, which is already online, the blue water sailor tells how the recordings were made and what the motivation for the unusual trip was.
