Anchoring our Boat Next to a Submarine Cave in Croatia ~ Vlog #11
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 ...
Our First Taste of Life at Anchor ~ Vlog #10
We taste FREEDOM at last! Our mission to sail the length of Croatia in 10 days begins and we can't wait to finally experience life at anchor. We turn to each other and ask, 'Have we made it?' Still pinching ourselves that we've realised our dreams. Thank...
How the Flip Did We Afford A Boat And To Travel Full Time? ~ Vlog #9
Avalon's ticket to freedom has arrived and we set the sails. Man it feels good. We also thought it was about time we answered the question so many of you have been asking. So here it is; how much money we saved for this mission, and how we did it. We rea...
Freediving, Flag Hoisting and Tantalising Titty-bits ~ Vlog #8
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...

When Boat Work Goes a Tad Pear Shaped ~ Vlog #5
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...
Flying to the Other Side of the World to Live on a Boat ~ Vlog #4
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...
Should We Buy This Sailboat? ~ Vlog #3
After travelling the entire length of Croatia, visiting every city on the coast apart from Dubrovnik, we saw 11 rubbish boats and 1 great one. We negotiate an offer and it get's accepted! We've flown back to Australia now to play the waiting game. Our fut...
Buying a Yacht – We Know She’s Out there Somewhere ~ Vlog #2
The search continues... Well we certainly got to know Croatia. We drove up the entire length of the country trying to find our girl and didn't find one single bit we didn't like (because everywhere has pizza). Thank you for watching; it means the world t...
We’re Sailing Around the World… Buying Our First Boat! ~ Vlog #1
