We sail on from Porto Palo then Syracuse and Augusta We find an illegal fishing has been stretched across the bay ready to catch our anchor chain.
Sail Safe Guys, Ant & Cid XX 🇬🇧 ⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️
===================================================
👋 We’re Ant & Cid aboard SV Impavidus – ...
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...
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...
In this episode, we finish our journey north through the Maldives. We first stop at Dholhiyadhoo to see the abandoned luxury resort. We explore this huge development was abandoned in 2011 and is amazing to think someone had to walk away from a near completed project. We then finish in Uligan where a...
In this Weeks video, we take a look at the market in St Georges bay. Has it changed or is it still the same? We take a gentle sale round from St George's Bay to Manoel Island. I go to the childless to pick up some gear and the boat gets a jolly good tidy up why because Cindy is on her way back....
Have you ever plugged your boat into shore power and simply assumed everything was safe?
After an electrical fault aboard SV Impavidus, I decided to investigate exactly how marina shore power works, what reverse polarity actually means, and whether our boats are really as well protected as we think...
We tried to fly our drone around a remote island in New Zealand to get some awesome aerial shots of our boat in the anchorage but a battery failure meant it crash landed in the sea, only a short distance from our sailboat.
It's too cold to swim here at this time of year but we just got an ROV ...
Join me for Part 2 of my solo Mediterranean crossing as I leave Lampedusa before sunrise and make the final passage to Malta.
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...
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 ...
After the frustration of our saloon upholstery project, it was refreshing to finally find a local Tunisian company that delivered exactly what they promised. In this episode we visit a local print shop to have new SV Impavidus graphics produced, including replacement boom decals, YouTube branding a...
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,...
After months in the marina, it's finally time to start getting SV Impavidus ready for sea again.
In this video I sit down with the charts, weather forecasts and route options to answer one simple question:
When should we leave Tunisia?
Using our previous crossing tracks, weather data and passag...
After months in the marina, it’s finally time to start getting SV Impavidus ready for sea again.
In this episode we refit the sails, re-thread the running rigging, sort out the German mainsheet system and begin preparing the boat for life back under sail here in the Mediterranean.
We also take a loo...
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...

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...
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 ...
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.
In this video, I take you step-by-step through replacing the carburettor on a Tohatsu 3.5HP 4-stroke outboard, including removing the old unit, fitting a new one, and expl...
In this video, I replace my existing dual battery-to-battery (B2B) charger setup with a single Victron Orion XS 12/12 50A — simplifying the system, reducing wiring, and improving efficiency.
We start by looking at the existing installation (with a full circuit diagram), then strip it all back before...
Hi folks,
This video is a bit of a practical one — I’ve just unpacked a 26kg suitcase full of boat parts that I’ve brought back into Tunisia, and I go through it all item by item.
It’s not just a list of what I bought, but what each piece is for, why I chose it, and how much I paid. I’ve also includ...
This week we follow Ryan on one of his final marine projects — a custom-built fishing module for a Rodman 31.
The brief was simple: create a practical, durable solution for serious fishing. The result is a bespoke unit incorporating a live well, sink with running water, and dedicated tackle storage...
