Ep 123 950nm of Open Ocean Sailing - Bermuda to Annapolis
August 26, 2021 by Sailing Talisman | Language: EN Play Time: 00:21:02 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
After our sporty passage from St Thomas to Bermuda, it’s now time for the second half (unless we want to be stuck there).
People might think we spend a lot of time up on the mast, but after the beating Talisman took on the way out, it seemed foolish not to take an extended look at how things were holding together. In the end, all the cotter pins, fasteners, and clevis pins were inspected, plus the various lines and wire rope. A section of our jib halyard was cut out as it was getting chafed.
We saw wonderful and largely uneventful sailing the whole way, which isn’t the “boat sinking” drama most of you are looking for, but for us it was exactly what we were hoping for.

Sailing Talisman
We're cruising couple Kevin and Wendy, and we're sailing the world in our completely upgraded Oyster 485. We packed up everything, rented the houses, and headed for Troon, Scotland where the boat was located. We closed in late 2017 and following a major electronics refit (the first of several) headed south to the Mediterranean. One season morphed into a second, then a third. And then the Caribbean beckoned. We participated in the 2019 ARC, and have been cruising there since. The adventure continues ...
