‘Worst sailing day ever!’ | Ep93
Sailing isn't all sunshine and G&T's no matter where you are in the world. We know this, but it's still a shock when the usual relaxed process of slowly traveling around propelled by the wind becomes something less than serene! -----------------------...

The ultimate 360 camera?
Insta360 now have a 1 inch chip version of their 360 cameras. This is a beast of a camera. It's not an action cam, but if like me you like to use 360 cameras to give linear type shots that fit in with the shots from standard cameras you're going to love th...

The most historic island in the Med? | Ep89
Okay the island of Delos in Greece might get the vote for ancient history (we did love it there) but Malta definitely has the most fascinating history through the ages for me. It's also one of those places that every sailor want to sail into. Grand harbou...

Rigging 101 (Part 1)

When Your Engine Dies At Sea. Don’t panic! | Ep88
It was a tough start to the season with a 500NM passage across the Adriatic, around the foot of Italy, past Sicily and on to Malta. We had every kind of weather and an engine that wouldn't start in the middle of the Adriatic leaving us floundering in a pat...

What is it with boats? We were hoping to have a restful week saying goodbye to the amazing friends we've made here in Montenegro but instead we had to make a last minute dash to Serbia to mend a broken pump. Luckily we did manage to have some lovely evenin...

The clock is ticking on getting the boat ready for the season and we have some big last minute set backs. It's not all boat work though, we get to go out on the J70's and I (Steve) get to channel my inner Lewis Hamilton... I know it makes no sense, you're ...

Can we get everything done? | Ep84
A big part of cruising is looking after your boat so it can look after you. In the Mediterranean most of those jobs are done in the winter and the list can get very long. This is the part of cruising you don't often see on YouTube but it is part of the lif...

Insta360 or GoPro?
I am a heavy user of action cams, although it is possible to get a more 'filmic' (low depth of field) look with mirrorless/DSLR cameras, I prefer the smooth motion you get with modern action cams, so unless we are sitting still (rare for us) it's often our...

Skiing, Sailing and the worst storms in 20 years | Ep83
Having a winter berth that you can easily drive to skiing from is the ultimate for us. We had it in Venice but were scuppered by covid closing the slopes that year. This year it all came together and we had a great time. -----------------------------------...

Winter liveaboard adventures in the Med – It’s not all plain sailing! | Ep82
Mid winter in Montenegro has everything, it seems. We've had some beautiful sunny blue sky days, we've had rain, hale and storm winds. But there's a great winter community here and everyone's spirits are high. Even though there have been a few mishaps. --...
