Running aground, epic varnishing and kissing a stingray! | Ep134
The week started really badly with us running aground on the way to the yard and having to be pulled off with the tug. It then went from bad to worst being in a vastly overpriced yard without the materials we needed and not being allowed to work on the boa...

Heading South for the winter – next stop San Blas | Ep129
Sailing in the far Western Caribbean is a bit hit and miss. The trade winds cannot be relied upon out here. The weather can be squally, idyllic and becalmed all in the same day. Even all in the same hour! It's interesting sailing and made all the more spec...
