Here's a little piece of my soul for you. Excerpts from my actual personal journal when crossing the Atlantic Ocean on Finding Avalon, via voiceover. I've never read my diary out loud to anybody, so consider yourselves welcomed into the circle of trust.

Emily shows you an easy way to color-code a soprano, alto, or tenor/concert ukulele for children or beginner players using mailing labels and permanent markers. In this video, we cover how to make and apply stickers for four common chords in the key of C (...
Sorry for our recent paucity in YouTube activity - you'll understand why now (and hopefully forgive us).
The day we have spent six months preparing for is finally upon us... Across the Atlantic Ocean we go.
The crew convenes in Gran Canaria to begin cele...
Fuerteventura with two very esteemed guests in the shape of Freyja and Bubbles. Xanthe's two best mates made a short trip over from the UK to sail and surf around the island.
A lot of love bursting out the seams of this episode. Freyja, Xanthe and Bubbles...
Part II of the Moroccan adventure we had absolutely no desire to end. Leaving behind the bustle of Marrakech, we sook out some surf and a palm tree abundant oasis.
After we woke up from the dream, it was back to facing the music in the form of broken rigg...
Our first taste of sailing the Atlantic Ocean and our longest passage yet turns out to be very testing indeed. 4 days at sea and 48 knots of breeze threatens to tear off our solar panels.
...Morocco turns out to be so worth it.
Thanks for watching guys. ...

After a refreshing couple of weeks with Jackson's parents in the Balearic Islands, and a few days land-based at Xanthe's parents' house in Cabo de Palos (Spain), we were back into boat life full throttle.
Two months to go until we cross the Atlantic with...
Welcome to Sardinia! We pick up two new crew members in the shape of Ben and Luke - Jackson's mates from back when he was part of the Miami University Sailing Team.
The winds were howling which meant two things for us. Jackson got to realise his dream of ...
With every long passage we learn a stack more, about ourselves, about each other, about life at sea, and first and foremost, about Little Miss Avalon. This time we learnt that motor sailing on a starboard tack is a sucky move. Oh, and that our hand pump (f...
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...
Here we look at some basic principals of upwind sailing.
Using the hierarchy of sailing needs we go through what is most important when you're sailing your catamaran upwind.
Although this is set on a Hobie 16, this will be the same for any catamaran, 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...
A bit of the bad luck from last week sticks around and it all gets a bit too much for the crew. Thank goodness we are in the Ionian Islands of Greece as the enchanting paradise makes it all OK.
Thanks for watching guys. If you liked it, please give us a t...
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...
After 6 weeks at sea, we come to understand the challenges of managing a relationship on the ocean. We thought we would give you an unmasked insight into what it's really like.
It comes with its challenges, but the flip side to this is that it brings you ...
What a place! Avalon leaves Croatia for possibly the first time in her life and heads for the Fjords of Montenegro, where me make a few awesome friends.
Thanks for watching guys. If you liked it, please give us a thumbs up and leave a lovely comment. We p...
Our best week on Avalon yet. We had heard great things about the Southern Dalmatian Islands of Croatia, but had not been prepared for how perfect they truly are.
We sailed into the famous port of Hvar and explored what lies within the city walls; then to ...
Hoisting the flag of freedom on Avalon can only mean one thing; she gets to feel the wind in her sails. Press play to watch the magical moment we make this discovery; plus a little bit of the usual adventuring and ocean worshipping around North West Croati...
We thought it was time to give you a rough overview of the trip we have been brewing up over the last three years of our lives. So here it is, in amongst dinghy adventures and a tour round the city of Pula, Croatia with our cute mate, Freyja.
Thank you fo...
Boat tour... From the water! Finally, Little Miss Av is in the water and everyone is pretty happy about it. So much so that we would like to welcome you in to our home and show you round.
A special thank you to Ruffy at Barrenjoey Marine Electrics who hel...
With the goal of getting the boat into the water and sailing as soon as possible in mind, we work with haste which results in blunders. One step forward, two steps back; the crane gets cancelled and Avalon remains on the hard stand.
We're still smiling th...
The survey report came back sort of OK-ish, but we had already quit our jobs, sold most of our possessions so we were pretty decided on just doing the adventure regardless of what the survey report said. We've been planning this trip for three years now an...
