Tempers flare in a very tight and shallow harbor. This is the culmination of weeks of frustration with increasingly aggressive behavior by other boat drivers. We're in the small harbor of Assos, which is a beautiful town with a big castle overlooking the lush yards of very expensive homes, but ...
Oh crumbs. A week we will remember for the rest of our days. We take a day sail from St Kitts to Saba. A rock in the Caribbean Sea, rising to great heights, with two small towns nestled in the clouds.
No shelter or bays to speak of here and the Northerly swell and strong breeze was enough for us to...
Our one day stop at Kastos town, on the island of Kastos (Greece) turns into a couple of days when Wendy pulls something in her back. This highlights one of the negatives of full time cruising, which is that often you're off the beaten path with little or no medical services available. From the...
It's the lady's birthday and the captain has laid on a few surprises.
Join us for some food and drink appreciation, some sailing, some freediving and a dance all around St Kitts.
Thanks for watching guys. If you liked it, please give us a thumbs up and leave a lovely comment. We post eve...
We can't catch a break. Winds pick up in Kioni Harbor, and suddenly Talisman seems to have no holding. We find ourselves being blown back onto the quay, and alarmingly also into the adjacent boats.
Another video in Jackson's Tantalising Tid Bits Series to help you with things we've had to learn the hard way in this boating life.
This week Jackson shows you his tools. Ooh I say.
Thanks for watching guys. If you liked it, please give us a thumbs up and leave a lovely comment. We post...
Time to leave Antigua and the next destination is St Kitts & Nevis. Although we aren't in much of a hurry so we decide to take the scenic route and go freediving/ spearfishing off some remote islands along the way.
As usual, things don't go exactly as planned. The first island, Redond...
Spearfishing, storm sailing, hooking a shark. Not every day of cruising is this full of action, but If you've got the itch to cut the lines and head offshore, this episode will do it for ya. We're coming at you from the Seca Islands, Panama, one of our secret spots on the world. If you...
Talisman finally gets some bruises. No matter how hard you try, these are the types of things that eventually happen. We've been cruising full time for almost a year now, and this is the first issue of the kind. Join us for some fast sailing and a close call with the "big ferry", plus...
A long and squally sail from Dominica to jaw-dropping Antigua. Here we savour a couple of unforgettable days of hiking through fields of butterflies and dancing to reggae with our Aussie crewmates Mike and Kristy.
We had shared a lot of memories with these two and been through a lot together over ...
Guests on board this week - Mike and Kristy. Xanthe met these two at a music festival 4 years ago. We were camping neighbours for the week; then as chance would have it, we became actual neighbours when they moved to the same suburb as us in Sydney. We pretty much lived in each other's pockets ...
After 20 days at sea it took us a while to get used to using the old legs again; not to mention how long it took to scrub off all the algae, barnacles and miniature crabs who had taken up residence on Avalon's bottom.
Now we find ourselves in the Caribbean it's finally time for Jackson to...
The Captain is producing a series showing the more technical side to our sailing adventure. This first one is all about the Atlantic Ocean crossing that we recently completed.
We hope you enjoy gaining insights into how we run our boat.
Visit the blog to see a few of Xanthe's recipes and her ...
Land Ho!
Welcome to the second half of our Atlantic Crossing; we hope your eyeballs enjoy this one as much as we wish we still had a fishing rod.
Thanks for watching guys. If you liked it, please give us a thumbs up and leave a lovely comment. We post every Sunday! So if you’d like to see us every...
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.
2,800 nautical miles; almost 20 day...
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 celebrations and preparations for the ARC R...
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 all moved to Australia together more t...
Andy brings his popular podcast to YouTube! Longtime fans of the show who've always wanted to 'sit-in' on our interviews with sailors from around the world now actually can!
The first filmed edition of On the Wind LIVE, Andy's podcast about offshore sailing, feature's shant...
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 rigging.
Thanks for watching guys. If you like...
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. If you liked it, please give us a thumbs up ...

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 the ARC Rally means preparat...
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 launching his kite off the back of Aval...
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 (fuel) doesn't work.
As perverse as it m...
