As we head further north up the Turkish Coast, we discover more and more awesome anchorages. We show you how we raise our big CODE D sail, step by step, how to launch and land a Drone whilst under way and discover an anchorage with a sandbank highway. During low tide it appears that you walk on wa...
Have we ever mentioned that we absolutely love our Mantus Anchor ;-) !! Total mayhem followed when a quick storm blew through our anchorage. Boats all around us were dragging anchors like crazy, dinghies flipping and cushions flying everywhere. We had a total of 8 lines plus our anchor out and SI...
We are finally allowed to sail anywhere along the Turkish coast, so we are heading north towards Istanbul and the Black Sea. Join us as we explore 2 new anchorages along the way, and for a bit of fun we got caught up in a race with a Lagoon Catamaran ;-) As the saying goes, if there's 2 boats...

And stray currents? What is a Galvanic Isolator? What is Galvanic Currents? WHere does Galvanic Voltages come ...
Finally!!! We are allowed to sail BUT . . . . Only within the district of Antalya, but hey, who's complaining. We're like a bunch of school kids being allowed out on a week night. Join us on our first 2 sails of the season. We were allowed to sail on a Monday, to be back in the Marina...

This week we share our experience of how we found the Leopard 45 performing under various conditions. I compiled a series of clips and commentary of our last 1.5 years of sailing, but it is a tricky affair because if I have to take 4 wind conditions with 3 sea state conditions for 4 points of sail f...
This is the music video of #89. The idea started one crazy night around a couple of beers...an Ozzie wanted to wake board behind our Leopard 45 Catamaran...yeah right! But the longer we talked the more a plan was shaping....we are going to wakeboard behind a Leopard 45 Cruising Catamaran!
Thank you...
When you have a rental, you USE IT!! We went Tomb Raiding and amphitheater exploring in Demre, Turkey. St Nicholas Church is an absolute must see, with loads of photo opportunities. Can you imagine having a meal on top of a waterfall? The most amazing setting, with loads of waterfalls and ducks.

We were so privileged to witness, what we later learned, a very RARE MEDITERRANEAN MONK SEAL feeding on a stingray. There are only about 600 - 700 left in the Med. The whole show took place right in front of SISU's bow, how cool is that!! We were contacted by SADAFAG, an organisation involved...
It is Winter, it is Cold, so what do you do when in freezing cold water on your boat??? There is snow on the mountains . . . . YOU GO SKIING ;-) Just a fun video of our time in Finike last year December. Petro's first encounter EVER with snow, was such a great time and a bucket list item tick...
We discover more and more awesome places along the Turkish Southern Coastline, and experience winds from all angles in less than a mile. You have to be on the constant watch for these wind changes, especially when entering a bay through little islands. Lots of little acceleration zones, which keep...
This week we share a mix between our 50, 250, 500 hour service of our two Yanmar 4JH45 diesel engines. We had a Qualified Yanmar Technician onboard for the 50 and 500 hour service, while the 250 hour service was made while at anchored of the coast of Africa far away from any Certified and Qualified ...
This was by far the most expensive and frustrating visa application we have ever done. Over and above the agency and visa fees, it was Car Rentals, Bus Trips and B&B's too. SIX attempts! And when we finally got it, covid happened so our visas are running out as we speak, so back to the draw...

A short music video, just sailing the Leopard 45 Catamaran in Big Waves on Passage to Gibraltar. We got scared by times, but Sisu just kept going with ease, which had a very calming effect on us. We did not caught the massive waves on camera and we should have, but it is difficult to get those shots...
We can officially declare that Turkey has the most amazing coastline, with spectacular anchorages and little stop overs, almost like when a person goes on a road trip and stop at all the fuel stations, and the hosts being super friendly and inviting. We visit a couple on our way to Bodrum. We get ...
