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!! 😁♥️😁

Is Your Boat’s Shore Power Safe?

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...
Crossing the Mediterranean Solo | North Africa to Malta – Part 1
Leaving Tunisia wasn’t as simple as slipping the lines. In this episode I set off solo from Monastir on a 98-nautical-mile crossing to the Italian island of Lampedusa. The plan sounds straightforward, but there was one problem… I had just over 13 hours to get there before darkness fell. The route ...
Tunisia Got It Right This Time! 🇹🇳 (And So Did We)

£1,700 Later… And It Still Wasn’t Right!!!!
Replacing the saloon cushions on a cruising yacht should have been straightforward. We spent weeks choosing fabrics, selecting the correct foam, creating detailed layouts and even producing design renderings to ensure the finished result was exactly what we wanted. The contractor inspected the boat,...

Why Are My Anodes Disappearing So Fast?
This week Impavidus comes out of the water for the usual haul-out jobs — cleaning back the Coppercoat, polishing the topsides and checking everything underneath the boat. But while inspecting the underwater gear, we discovered something that genuinely surprised me. One set of anodes was disappeari...

“ANCHOR REMOTE!”
Installing a wireless remote control on our Bavaria 37 anchor windlass sounded simple… until we started digging into the wiring! In this video we install and test a WINCHMAX wireless windlass remote system so we can control the anchor from anywhere on board. We explain how the contactor system work...
New Water Pump Didn’t Fit… So I Built a Franken Pump!
I thought this would be a straightforward job… swap out the old freshwater pump and fit a new one. It wasn’t. The new pump looked identical, but the quick-fit connectors were just slightly different — enough that nothing would fit. So instead of a simple replacement, this turned into something else ...
“Outboard Won’t Start? Replace the Carb (Tohatsu 3.5HP Fix)”
If your outboard won’t start, won’t idle, or just refuses to run properly… there’s a good chance the carburettor is the problem.

We start by looking at the existing installation (with a full circuit diagram), then strip it all back before...
Everything’s Changing… What Happens Next?
