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...

We get a chance ...

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. ...

Being away from friends is one of the hardest things about constant travel. After 8 years sailing the world my best friend, Matt, came down to Grenada for a visit. The entire week was inside jokes and immaturity. Want to see what its like for a newbie to b...
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...
Grenada is a black hole that will suck you in, or at least that’s what we’ve heard, and after spending a little time here we can see why! In this episode we have some incredible sailing, we say goodbye to Eric, Maureen, and Colin and life returns to ...
The experiment continues :) Thanks for all the feedback on our last Slow Tv episode! For this one we strapped the camera just above the cockpit. It's one static view 40 minutes long of Delos beating upwind from Trinidad to Grenada. The idea behind the...
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 ...
The sail from Trinidad to Grenada is supposed to be eazy-peazy right? Just a leisurely 80NM sail to another island. NOPE!!! It turns out to be one of the roughest overnight passages we’ve had this season with squalls gusting into the 40 knot range th...
We finally leave Bali behind and lose the engine as we motor out of the bali chanel and have to sail back to our mooring.. After getting that fixed we lost the autopilot!

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...
CARNIVAL, WHOA! From the mud drenched sunrise parties to the extravagant costumes and days full of limin’ & chippin’ - our few weeks spent on Trinidad were truly the experience of a lifetime!! It became even more interesting when we dug into the hi...
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...
Did we seriously just sail into the Caribbean!? After almost 10 years sailing around the world, we've made it to the sailors playground. The Caribbean is a mecca for cruisers and we just arrived into Tobago, the southern jewel! We are welcomed onto this b...

NIGHT SQUALL!!!!! On day 9 of a 1,400 mile passage we get hit in the middle of the night by a massive squall! The wind is hitting a solid 45 knots and the rain is driven so hard it’s blinding us. We accidentally jibe, take a wave in the salon hatch, ...
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...
