Watermakers are an essential piece of kit for remote cruising, so we take good care of our Schenker Zen 30. In this boat work episode, Jamie takes us through how he replaces the membranes. But don't make the same mistake, he nearly lost a nipple in the process!
Like most people, we get to know...
This is it, we've reached The End. A few months and 2500 miles from Malaysia to Indonesia later, we arrived at our destination, Medana Bay
It's been incredible, incomparable and, at times, impossible. Broken engine mounts, snapped deck fittings, dirty fuel, charging problems, snagged pro...
In the Flores Sea, we once again cranked up our code zero sail, aka 'The Kraken'! The conditions were perfect. In this video, we run through our setup and get to wondering about the maximum safe wind speed for a Code Zero? Do you have any code 0 wisdom to share?

Cruising by sailboat is exhilarating, but absorbing new cultures and meeting new people is the real adventure. To make someone smile when you don't speak each other's language is the icing on the cake. It's the REAL reason we are sailing around the world.
The adventure might start in...
After what felt like months of bashing against wind and waves in the Banda Sea, we finally turned south-west into the south-easterly trade winds. After 120 miles averaging 5kn, we would be racing across the Flores Sea towards Lombok. And guess what? Trade wind sailing is GOOD!

All cruisers are obsessed with weather forecasts, and the main phenomena we watch in forensic detail are the "lows" you'll hear them banging on about in the weather news. The opposite of "highs" (which generally bring settled, clear weather) a low front can cause severe rain...
Every sailor will tell you that when you are preparing to cast off the lines, there is never enough time. So with mostly technical and marine systems to service before we leave, it was a pleasant contrast to watch our galley and head renovation come together.

Sailing 180 miles from Belitung to Lingga in the Java Sea was a first, made more interesting by the anti-collision tactics we had to employ for the fishing platforms, floating debris and crazy tugs in the water.
We had checked out of Indonesia, but there was still a long way to go before leaving In...
Just yer average life at anchor next to a tropical island: boat work, beach walking, beer drinking... using a hookah (that's hookah, not hooker!) for boat maintenance.
White beaches, gin-clear water and thriving coral fringe this green and lush island, while granite rocks straight out of a Hen...
