Outtakes, Bloopers and Funny Moments from a Year of Family Sailing Blogs

It's been roughly a year since we started video blogging and although in the beginning I hated the idea of being in front of a lens, on social media, I think it was the right decision. While we originally set up the channel for family and friends to follow our journey, the channel has now gai...

Maintenance: Replacing and Repairing Rowlocks on the Kids Dinghy using Recycled Parts

The rowlocks were a none standard size on the kids dinghy and we couldn't get any oars to fit, so Woody cut off the old rowlocks and glued on some new ones he found on some abandoned dinghies by the skips in the boat yard. ⒸⓄⓃⓃⒺⒸⓉ ▷PATREON: Contributions to the video blog budget greatly appr...

Woman Rescued from Sea after Falling from Passenger Ship – Live Footage!

We thought it was worth doing a standalone blog just on this because it was quite serious and there was a lot to learn from it. We are involved in a genuine rescue at sea while on a Greek ferry between Athen and Aegina. About half way along our journey we realized that there was a person in the w...

017: Sailing in Greece – Delphi and Dolphins in The Gulf of Patras.. after a Rig Check

We had mixed feelings about leaving Lefkas - it was sad to say goodbye to our new friends but we were really excited about setting sail again. We did last minute shopping, engine checks and a rig inspection from where we could see all the walks we'd done during winter on the Island of Lefkada...

Sailing Away on our Sea Travels Again – Goodbye Lefkas – Hello Dolphins!

So we finally left Lefkas and we're sailing again after a long cold wet winter! We hoisted the sails, turned off the engine and were met with beautiful white caps and magic dolphins. What a thrill! It was sad to say goodbye to all the friends we'd made over the last few months but fanta...

016: Meteora Monasteries Visit and Family Skiing on a Budget in Greece

There’s no sailing in this blog but we did get to explore the snow-capped mountains that we could see from our boat in Lefkas Marina. We hired a car and headed for the hills - an easy journey as there were hardly any cars on the road, so we wound our way through tunnels to Metsovo, a small, alpine...

014: Sailing Ionian Flotilla Routes with Yacht Chartering Friends

We meet up with some friends who charter a yacht for the week and sail around the Southern Ionian, exploring caves on Meganisi and beaches on Ithaca Island. We're hit by another storm and go against our off grid principles by sheltering in a cafe with a big TV and ice-cream. With storms and me...

013: Dinghy Sailing, Paddle boarding and Kayaking at Neilson’s Ionian Yacht Charter Base

We head south through the Lefkas Canal and into the Southern Ionion to meet up with some friends chartering a yacht from our old employer - Neilson Active Holidays.

012: Caving, Campfires and Exploring a secluded Anchorage near Parga – North Ionian

Woody watches a flotilla coming in to Parga and remembers his old days as a flotilla skipper for Neilson Active Holidays. We're beginning to hit our stride with the home schooling and a quick stop over for lunch extends into a couple of days at anchor in the most perfect anchorage in the North...

011: Surviving a Stormy Lee Shore at Anchor in Lakka before Sailing to Gaios on Paxos

After a tense night anchored on a lee shore we up'd anchor and sailed to Gaios. There we found a quaint village, went for beautiful walks in the olive groves and even got the bikes out. We thought we'd found treasure on the sea bed (which would have paid for the extortionate mooring fees...

010: Liveaboards! – Our First Week. Getting a Greek Cruising Permit and Living on a Boat

An eventful first week as liveaboards. A hasty departure from the quayside in Preveza (due to an overflowing holding tank!) led to a lovely sail up the Northern Ionian to Parga and Paxos. We squeezed in our first swim off the boat in Parga then, following a totally inaccurate weather forecast we an...

009: Kids Episode – Exploring their Boat and Cabins before our World Sailing Family Adventure

This video blog has been totally handed over to the kids. Their voices have rarely been heard in the run up to leaving on on this world sailing trip so it's only fair that we let them share their hopes, aspirations and concerns. Here they discuss the journey so far, the flight to Greece, the ...

008: Living the Dream of a Liveaboard Family at Sea on our own Sail Boat

We finally made it! In October of this year we upped sticks from Brighton - UK and moved to Greece to live aboard our 53' Amel Super Maramu yacht. An unbelievably emotional and stressful time leading up to the day, but so much relief when we finally stepped aboard. A lifelong dream and a deca...

007: Bought a Sail Boat, Quit Jobs, Rented House, Sold Car, Kids taken out of School :007

We've moved several steps on to getting afloat - we've sold the car - (which was way more emotional than we imagined) advertised the house and at long last bought a boat! It's an Amel Super Maramu (exactly like the SV Delos crew as everyone keeps telling us) but in all the chaos, a...

006: The STRESS of Selling up to Sail away and Live the Dream – Yacht Survey and Sea Trial :006

We've had a survey done on a great boat - an Amel Super Maramu - but it's far from perfect and there's a lot of work to do on it. Nevertheless, we've put a deposit down and are steaming ahead! Even so, preparing to live the dream is stressful - we have to sell the car, pack up ...

005: Planning to Sailing Around the World while Working two Jobs and Running a Family Home

Working two jobs, three kids and running a house is difficult at the best of times, but summer holidays and packing up a house ready for our big move really add to the complexity and stress. As a working mother, trying to keep on top of it all seems an impossible task at times, but it helps that a ...

003: Boat Search for the Perfect Cruising Sailboat to Sail Around the World with the Family

Plans are moving ahead.. but the boat buying is proving more difficult (and more expensive) than we ever thought. We've looked seriously at two boats, surveyed one and now we've just made an offer on a third. Woody has travelled all over to inspect potential boats but I get the feeling i...

002: Sailing the World, Living Off Gird and Homeschooling the Kids – Planning stage!

Ever since I was a child, and even before I learnt to sail, I had dreams of circumnavigating the globe on a yacht. Having a husband and three children of my own hasn't diminished that lifelong ambition - it just take a bit more planning - but it looks like we might be heading off soon. All we...
