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 the ARC Rally means preparat...
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 launching his kite off the back of Aval...
Monkey, camel, castles and caves -- from Gibraltar to Tangier -- this episode is colored in contrasts. We climb the rock of Gibraltar and drink a lot of their beer before braving the straights to take a bite of Africa. Tangier did not disappoint.
On a side note, we want to thank all of you for you...
Things can go really badly when you run over a fishing line. In this episode we get unlucky--or lucky--depending on how you look at the situation. But after a few stressful moments, we’re back to having fun on our journey to Gibraltar. We visit a bunch of neat seaside towns, do some fishing, and mak...
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 (fuel) doesn't work.
As perverse as it m...
What could go wrong? If you can, we might… even if it’s not a great idea. Because that’s often when the fun happens. With a little safety consideration, we enjoy a sailing swim, do some caving, and find ourselves in a serious boil.
Follow our sailing story every Sunday! We’re just learning what wo...
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 and rich culture did the job.
Xanthe...
Not so smooth sailing. Just when our luck seems so good, it gives out. But before our SAIL FAIL, we celebrate safe landing in a sketchy anchorage, find out that our boat does better than expected sailing into the wind, and learn an important lesson about eating out abroad.

We were propelled towards Zante with 46 knot winds. As much as we relished this, we did have to wise up in the end and seek refuge on the island of Kefalonia.
When we finally reached our intended destination we were completely blown away. None of us wanted to leave... Until the day we did actually...
It was a beautiful sail... until we found water in the bilges and the autopilot started screaming, again!
The conditions we like to sail in! Plus touring of the mountains around Cascais and overcoming serious Burning Man FOMO. It's no joke.
Episode 5 season Alpha
A bit of the bad luck from last week sticks around and it all gets a bit too much for the crew. Thank goodness we are in the Ionian Islands of Greece as the enchanting paradise makes it all OK.

It's not sailing, but exploring the Portugal countryside with a local is pretty awesome!
This week we arrive in Porto Portugal in thick fog. Snag an invite to enjoy dinner and some off-road fun with a local family, and score some excellent sailing conditions on our way to Portimao.

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 dropping anchor in a former World War II minefield...
Our first stop after crossing the Bay of Biscay turns out to be one of the most amazing places in Spain.
After some fun picking up trash and putting around in the dinghy, we explore the old town and historic castle. Then some friends join us and we head off to Porto in a thick fog.
If you’re ever ...
After 6 weeks at sea, we come to understand the challenges of managing a relationship on the ocean. We thought we would give you an unmasked insight into what it's really like.
It comes with its challenges, but the flip side to this is that it brings you together in the most beautiful way. If ...
Life is swell in Spanish Wells! Or breathtakingly beautiful at least. Phillip and I were happily shocked to find our favorite beach from our entire Bahamas trip tucked away on the north shore of what we thought was going to be an industrial little fishing island near Eleuthera. We were also reall...
Just show up with your toothbrush and set sail! Not so much… Before heading offshore we encounter a few hiccups, but the headaches are worth it. In this episode we do our best to prepare for a four-day ocean sail and set off across the Bay of Biscay.
As far as fists go, this is one heck of a way t...
What a place! Avalon leaves Croatia for possibly the first time in her life and heads for the Fjords of Montenegro, where me make a few awesome friends.
