We are off in a few weeks and at the moment, we have shiny new batteries with no way to power them once off the marina power. However, thats all about to change.
Join us as we add two HUGE solar panels to Teulu and add an inverter and charge controller, ...
Teulu has some...interesting...wiring to say the least. Becka, also has some interesting wiring at times and having only just learnt electrics, the 'being careless with a spanner' thing, was easily forgotten. Ah well, you only make that mistake once! Join ...

Defeat. Something we have felt often recently. However, getting our mast down gave us the perfect excuse to go digging around the electrics...
The countdown is on and while most would be route planning, food provisioning and ensuring the boat is up to scratch, we are losing an ENTIRE mast. EEK! Nothing like a good old challenge though, are we right?
Hope you all enjoy coming along on this hecti...
Somehow the list is only growing longer! But a rainy Saturday in March can only be the best time to crack on and get things done. We spray our new anchor chain, we service the engine (thanks again Stuart! We have left a link below to his website), we clean...
It was all plain sailing (sorry about the pun) until we poked and prodded a sea cock a bit too hard and saw the dreaded pink shade, covering the through hull. *Gulp* So, rather than hopping straight onto antifouling, it was angle grinding, epoxy applying, ...
It was that time of year. Haul out week- the first (of many) for us and boy was it a week. Despite the survey not saying anything of significance, it's always a bit of a worry when the hull is exposed that first time. However that was the least of our worr...
It was the Queens Jubilee weekend here in the UK and with our engine fixed, it was time to head on our first 'longer' sail. We picked Polkeris in South Cornwall to head to due to the protection from the Easterly wind and quiet setting.
On the way, we were...

How much did our boat cost? Have we ever been scared whilst sailing? How do we do laundr...
Gas, boats, gas on boats- a combination which could have turned pretty dangerous had we not fixed it. Although we had put it off for a little while- enough was enough and it was time to tear it apart and replace it all.
Also- we got a tender! At last! (d...
Welcome on board Teulu everyone. We are so excited to finally share an inside and out look at our Colvic Victor ketch. Currently set up as a live aboard but with some upgrades on the horizon, we thought it was the perfect time to share an overview of her w...
New anchor- check, new anchor swivel- check, day sailing experience- check, day anchoring experience- check. Time for the overnight!
We picked Cawsand Bay to head to as it was local and sheltered and despite the rolling waves, unexpected water in our ste...
You must be thinking- surely they can't have another leak? And well, we don't blame you because that is exactly what we thought. However, with Becka's birthday (or boathday as Zach likes to say) fast approaching, we had to crack on and get it pulled up and...
A few people have messaged us asking 'but why this?'- and to be honest, it's a really good question. With minimal larger boat sailing experience, fresh out of university and with our whole lives ahead- why did we pick a boat over a house?
So join us in t...
A few days before we are heading on a hike and wild camp with friends and it's almost as if Teulu knew and wanted to throw us one more little curved ball before we left. And its a leak!
Luckily, we managed to figure out where it was coming from quite qui...
Back to boat jobs this week but fear not, apparently there is never a dull day in our lives at the moment! We got to scrubbing the boat- properly this time. That means Zach hopping in and giving the hull a good old clean, that was until we got told off! Wh...
As we want to spend 99% of our nights on Teulu at anchor, it was pretty vital we upgraded our anchor set up. Heading to the shop and buying the biggest anchor in the shop did happen, and so did dropping it a few times and spinning in circles, questioning w...
After the series of um, unfortunate events? that happened last week, we were apprehensive to say the least to head out again by ourselves. However, negative thinking didn't help us at all the previous week so we decided to mix it up and believe in ourselve...
Two and a half years we had waited for this moment and boy did it not disappoint! From backing out of the marina and getting stuck on next doors boat, to finding out we had no forward gear and hitting the jetty. This day really, really tested us to say the...
Think the water is meant to be on the outside of the boat...not the inside! We were hours away from setting sail for the first time when we decided to bring the pilot berth floor up. First finding mould, then realising it was because there was a lot of wat...
Winches, Lifejackets, VHF, Outboard, Lifebuoy, A few Scrubbers (less essential!), Ships Log, Liferaft, the list goes on! We bought our first yacht and boy was she left in the 80's! All our safety gear is expired and it's time to get some new bits before we...
We have our first visitors on board this week- Becka's parents. It's time to stop chiselling, checking, drilling, glueing, planning and start preparing! We spend the weekend with them soaking in their company, showing them the boat and taking them on an ad...
Boat jobs have begun! Its the second week on board our new boat, and the time for unpacking and settling in has come to an end- its time to get down and dirty and get stuff done. Starting with cleaning the bilges, fitting fire equipment and hold on, what w...
First week on board and what a rollercoaster of emotion it was. Having just bought and moved onto our dream sailing boat, we were hit with the obstacle of where to keep it. Being told to leave (with all marinas, everywhere full), is just not really what yo...
