When Sailing into a Thunderstorm or Anchoring in a Former Minefield are the Only Options – Vlog #14
A huge run of bad luck for Avalon. We leave for our first overnight passage and were forced to learn a series of lessons the hard way. Having to choose between heading into a thunder storm with 40 knots of breeze in irons, or ducking in to a bay and droppi...

When Boat Work Goes a Tad Pear Shaped ~ Vlog #5
With the goal of getting the boat into the water and sailing as soon as possible in mind, we work with haste which results in blunders. One step forward, two steps back; the crane gets cancelled and Avalon remains on the hard stand. We're still smiling th...

Flying to the Other Side of the World to Live on a Boat ~ Vlog #4
The survey report came back sort of OK-ish, but we had already quit our jobs, sold most of our possessions so we were pretty decided on just doing the adventure regardless of what the survey report said. We've been planning this trip for three years now an...
