Our passage west across the bottom of Sulawesi in Indonesia began beautifully with some great downwind sailing, a peaceful anchorage and a pleasant night passage. That was until our OH CRAP moment. A violent squall appeared out of nowhere in the pre-dawn darkness, smashing our boat from the complete...
The Mediterranean remains one of the most remarkable cruising grounds in the world — but in 2026, the reality of staying there has changed.
In this episode, we take a clear and measured look at what it actually takes to live, cruise, or overwinter in the Med today.
We cover:

In this video we break down the real annual cost of cruising on our sailboat, based on our own experience living aboard in the Mediterranean for 9 years.
There’s a lot of talk online about “cheap” or “expensive” boat life, but very little real-world detail. So we’ve put together our actual yearly c...
Whether in tiny villages or major cities, the people we’ve encountered in Indonesia have been super friendly, generous and fantastic fun to spend time with. Our sailing adventures in Sulawesi continue as we discovered a blissfully calm and quiet anchorage at Barangka on the island of Buton and had s...
THEY say you can’t really sail in Indonesia because there’s no wind. This episode shows how much THEY know. We sail, we dodge fisherman, we sail, we dodge barges, including one that was waaay too close for comfort, we sail, we dodge ships, we sail some more and experience three great anchorages in S...
In this video I explain why saloon window leaks on the Bavaria 37 Cruiser (Farr design) are not simply a sealing failure, but a predictable result of thermal expansion mismatch and constrained movement.
Large smoke-grey acrylic windows absorb far more solar energy than the surrounding white GRP coa...
It’s been exactly a year since we swapped our sailing boat for a widebeam canal boat, after nearly 20 years living afloat. How has it been — and do we have any regrets?
Before reflecting on our first 12 months aboard Happidaze, we take a quick look at Liz’s new book. She’s been commissioned by Bloo...
A glimpse from our latest Dreamtime Sail Episode but cruising’s not always blue skies, calm seas and fair winds and that’s certainly not what we got on Our Dreamtime in Sulawesi for this episode. Try sunshine and wind followed by squalls, followed by blue skies and no wind followed by squalls. Welco...

Galley fires are one of the most common and most dangerous fires on board — and many start with simple mistakes that are completely preventable.
In Part 2 of this series, we focus on galley and cooking fires, including pan fir...
Sailing’s not always blue skies, calm seas and fair winds and that’s certainly not what we got on Our Dreamtime in Sulawesi for this episode. Welcome to the reality of cruising. But when we got there, Pulau Labengke once again proved a beautiful, calm and very safe anchorage for us to kick back and ...

Boat Fires Part 1: Electrical Fires, Causes & Fire Extinguishers Explained
Fire is one of the most dangerous emergencies you can face on a boat — and the number one cause of boat fires is electrical failure. In confined spaces, surrounded by fuel and batteries, a small electrical fault c...

After all our recent solitude in isolated islands around Northern Sulawesi, we anchored right in the centre of the City of Luwuk and were in for plenty of surprises, meeting other cruising sailors for the first time in months, an unexpected visit from Port Police, and finding hoards of screaming mot...
In this video Jack and Ryan put a large boat onto a trailer. The boat has been sat on blocking for some time and has recently been sold to a customer in Portsmouth. The sale included delivery and so Jack uses one of his big trailers to move the the big boat to the marina. But first it has to be put ...

Sailing from the Togian Islands, we were on a deadline to reach the city of Luwuk in the Bangai Region to extend our Indonesian visas before we could land in deep trouble. So, we were really hoping our previous day’s engine problems wouldn’t resurface. Little did we know we were going to face totall...
We decommission our electric pump-out toilet and replace it with a separating toilet, often called a composting toilet. Why would we do this? What was wrong with our old loo? At £25 a pump-out every four weeks, and a lack of pump-out facilities on the canal network, a separating toilet offers us com...

Sailing around Sulawesi, Indonesia, our engine blew its top, leaving us becalmed and adrift, literally in the middle of nowhere, a hundred and fifty miles from a mechanic. Add in a very tight deadline to extend our Indonesian visas and it’s a case of STRESS LEVEL TEN!.
