Our best week on Avalon yet. We had heard great things about the Southern Dalmatian Islands of Croatia, but had not been prepared for how perfect they truly are. We sailed into the famous port of Hvar and explored what lies within the city walls; then to ...

Hoisting the flag of freedom on Avalon can only mean one thing; she gets to feel the wind in her sails. Press play to watch the magical moment we make this discovery; plus a little bit of the usual adventuring and ocean worshipping around North West Croati...

Step 1 of our quest to sail around the world begins! We board a plane from Australia to Croatia to find a yacht fit enough to sail around the world. Our first yacht no less. We were warned it wouldn't be easy, and my goodness they were right. There were ...

In this episode we have been having motor issues and get the experts around to inspect Nandjis motor. We initially thought we had a majour rebuild on our hands but with a closer look it may not be as bad as what we first though. We order new parts to elim...
