"We Couldn't Believe What They Pulled From the Ocean..." #liveaboard #sailing #plasticwaste
link to Żibel website: https://www.zibel.org/
We’ve got a really interesting video for you this week—one that left a big impression on us while filming.
In this episode, we spend time with an incredible NGO in Malta that’s doing vital work to clean up the harbours. These dedicated volunteers aren’t afraid to get stuck in—literally diving into the water to pull up years’ worth of rubbish and debris from the seabed. It was both shocking and inspiring to watch them in action. At one point, we saw them haul up huge ropes, tangled fishing nets, and even old tyres that had been lying underwater for who knows how long. It’s a powerful reminder of the impact pollution has on our oceans, but also of the difference people can make when they care enough to take action.
What really struck us was the energy and passion of the team. This isn’t glamorous work—it’s cold, wet, and physically demanding—but their sense of purpose was contagious. They’re not just cleaning harbours; they’re helping to restore marine ecosystems and make the waterfronts safer and more beautiful for everyone. If you’d like to learn more about what they’re doing, or even support their efforts, you can check out their website here: https://www.zibel.org/. Every little bit helps them continue this amazing work.
The following day, we took things a little slower and explored one of the local markets. There’s something so special about wandering through a busy market, hearing the chatter of vendors, smelling all the fresh produce and spices, and seeing the colorful array of goods on display. We love moments like these because they give such an authentic glimpse into local life.
So grab a cup of tea (or something stronger!) and enjoy this week’s video. We’d love to hear what you think about the NGO’s work—does your area have similar initiatives? Have you ever joined a clean-up or environmental project? Drop us a comment and let’s chat about it.
Thanks again for being here. You make this journey so rewarding. ❤️

I Couldn’t Save the Cat!
A peaceful afternoon at anchor suddenly turned into one of the most dramatic incidents I've witnessed in years. What I first thought was a catamaran anchoring too close to SV Impavidus turned out to be something far more serious. With nobody on board, the yacht had dragged its anchor and was dr...
The Night Malta’s Fireworks Shook Our Boat!
We were expecting Malta’s fireworks to be spectacular. We weren’t expecting them to explode directly above Impavidus from morning until after 11 o’clock at night! The thunder flashes and maroons were so powerful that they shook the boat. By morning, Impavidus was covered in burnt paper, string, fir...
Moving on.. She’s back!! 😁♥️😁
In this Weeks video, we take a look at the market in St Georges bay. Has it changed or is it still the same? We take a gentle sale round from St George's Bay to Manoel Island. I go to the childless to pick up some gear and the boat gets a jolly good tidy up why because Cindy is on her way back....
Is Your Boat’s Shore Power Safe?
Have you ever plugged your boat into shore power and simply assumed everything was safe? After an electrical fault aboard SV Impavidus, I decided to investigate exactly how marina shore power works, what reverse polarity actually means, and whether our boats are really as well protected as we think...
Crossing the Med Pt2
Join me for Part 2 of my solo Mediterranean crossing as I leave Lampedusa before sunrise and make the final passage to Malta. After a slight navigational detour leaving the harbour to avoid a restricted area, the day quickly turned into one of those passages we all dream about. A spectacular sunris...
