Taking a Break from Boat life
We’re back on the boat after taking a week's break in the UK visiting family and friends, and there have been a few important updates to share from life aboard our sailing catamaran in Greece. I’ve brought more solar panels onboard, ready to be fitted later this week, as part of an upgrade to improve our boat power management, battery charging, and off-grid cruising setup under the hot Greek sun.
While we were away, Dimitri the electrician also carried out some work in the engine bay, including fitting a second MPPT solar controller and making changes to the Orion DC to DC charger setup to help improve performance and reduce overheating issues. These marine electrical upgrades are all part of improving the boat’s energy system for liveaboard sailing and cruising.
Sharon also explains what happened after her recent fall, how her arm was treated in Greece and then checked again in the UK, and how she is getting on now as we adjust to life onboard. Even with the setback, we’ve been busy provisioning the boat, washing her down, and getting everything ready for the next sail.
If you enjoy sailing vlog content, boat upgrades, marine electrical systems, liveaboard cruising, and catamaran life in Greece, this one’s for you.

Sailing Clewless Crew
Midlife sailing adventure | Retired couple living on a catamaran | Full-time liveaboard sailing We’re John & Sha, a retired couple in our mid-50s preparing to move aboard our catamaran this April. After retiring from full-time careers, we’re transitioning to full-time liveaboard sailing and documenting the entire journey. Right now, we’re sailing the Ionian in Greece. Stunning anchorages, pretty fishing villages and gusty winds are all on the agenda here. In the near future we will head off to Albania and Montenegro. From catamaran living and liveaboard life to sailing adventures, slow travel, and going where the wind takes us — this is our next chapter.
