After sailing from BVI, we arrive in Saba, a dormant volcano rising out of the Caribbean Sea a whopping 2910 feet. We discover that a tropical depression is heading our way so try to cram in as much as possible before we need to run... checking out the two...
We're making some ground east again! After a short venture on land at Spanish Town in BVI's we head off for the small isolated island of Saba in the Lesser Antilles... As every sailor knows however, the weather will almost always do the opposite to what yo...
We have a pretty rough go of it in the beginning of this episode when a multitude of boarding waves pour into the cabin through a dorade. Unfortunately, we don't have a clip of us actually cleaning up, but I'm sure you can imagine the process of desalinati...
3 days at sea for Finding Avalon as we make the crossing from Greece to Malta. Sadly the boom didn't make it :(
Luckily Malta turned out to be the best country we have been to for marine shops and a week of boat jobs surrounded by its enchanting scenery a...
Could a Tayana Vancouver 42 ever be a racer cruiser? Could she win Gold in Sydney to Hobart? We put her to the test in Virgin Gorda, BVI to see whether she could beat the nimble racer cruiser, a 37 Seidelmann.
Following the eventful race, we check out the...

We were propelled towards Zante with 46 knot winds. As much as we relished this, we did have to wise up in the end and seek refuge on the island of Kefalonia.
When we finally reached our intended destination we were completely blown away. None of us want...
We make our way further east in British Virgin Islands, visiting Peter Island and then being hit with torrential rain in Road Town. Thankfully the rain passed and we had a fantastic sail across to Virgin Gorda, home to 'The Baths', a formation of rock boul...
We restock the fridge before checking out of Bermuda and beginning our solo trip across the Atlantic to the Azores! We find that it is so much more relaxing to sail long-term without crew, but we schedule a bit with the watch schedule. The weather is perfe...
Ok, we weren't exactly hit by treasure (we wish!)... but it rhymed.

Bermuda is amazing! We take the bus over to Church Bay for some fabulous snorkeling before heading to Horseshoe bay and the small coves beyond. Bermuda beaches truly can't be beaten. Frank heads back to Spain and the two of us spend the next day exploring ...
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...
We departed St Thomas and headed for Cruz Bay on the island of St John. Having quickly discovered it was a little too crowded for our drafty little Milly we moved to a neighbouring bay and set about exploring the town at Cruz Bay. Shortly after we made a 5...
