Ep 117 More Failproofing for Talisman
Failproofing is an elusive thing. No way to ever fully failproof a boat, but we do what we can. In this episode we repair our masthead deflector, which blasted off the mast during some higher wind testing of the boat. This failure was clearly the result of...

Ep 115 Talisman Sails!
Talisman has a date with the dentist, in a way. We suppose that's probably what it's like for a boat. But the spars are newly coated in blindingly shiny Awlgrip paint, and the results are something to behold. In truth, this wasn't a purely cosmetic upgrade...
Ep 114 Big Boat Prep for Post Hurricane Season Launch
As mentioned in the intro, this episode is about the real work it takes to get a boat in the water. Plus, Talisman had her mast off for recoating during hurricane season in the Caribbean, and we were so excited to see the results. It seemed like the list o...
Ep 113 Fire and Other Drama Prior to Haulout
It's a crazy time aboard Talisman, as we prepare to haul for hurricane season. First we suffer an engine room fire, which sets us back for a bit. Wendy goes for a swim and finds a shark under the boat. Then we discover that the crane that the yard is using...
Ep 112 Recaulking our Teak Decks While at Anchor in Paradise
During lockdown in Antigua we found ourselves with time on our hands for projects that we don’t usually have time for. Lacking temptations like drinking with other cruisers, we tackled a job that’s been on the back burner for a while … recaulking our...
Ep 111 Pinned on the dock by 20 knot crosswinds. What do we do?
The situation most skippers dread … being pinned on the dock by high winds. So what do we do? In our case we have a big cat behind us and the wind is blowing a steady 19-20 knots. Take a look to see. We also give a quick look at our failed Sterling Powe...
Ep 110 The Race Is On! Oyster 485 vs Amel Marimu 32nm St Kitts to St Barts
The passage between St Kitts and St Barts is 32nm +/- and these gaps between islands can be brutally exposed. You get swells and wind unbroken, with fetch that crosses the entire Atlantic Ocean. But things were practically flawless this day. The swells wer...
Ep 108 Atlantic Crossing Pt3: Squalls Catch Us At St Lucia!
Squalls are focused small storms, with wind speeds that can approach and exceed gale force. As we get closer to the Caribbean, these become more and more common, especially at night, to the point that we’re rarely less than a few miles from one. Since th...
Ep 107 Atlantic Crossing Pt2: Here Comes the Wind
In this middle section of the passage we make the turn west into the trade-winds. We’ve headed almost 200nm south and are now just north of the Cape Verde Islands. And as the temps warm and the winds change from northerlies to easterlies, the westerly cu...
Ep 106 Atlantic Crossing Pt1 – Only 2,700nm to Go
And then it happens! Departure day arrives and we have a time slot to leave! Our nerves are frayed to the ragged edge, but this is what we came for. We’re committed, and like lemmings we follow the other boats toward the cliff edge. Actually, it’s qu...
Ep 104 ARC 2019 Prep – Watermakers and Oyster Support
As we enter the second week of prep for the ARC transatlantic crossing, we focus on converting Talisman from a boat that’s bombproof at sea, to one that is also ready to go off the grid for extended periods. We take a pessimistic view, envisioning up to ...
Ep 103 ARC 2019 Beckons – Shakedown Gibraltar to the Canary Islands
The ARC, or Atlantic Rally for Cruisers, has been held every year now for over 30 years. As a vehicle for “safety in numbers”, 189 boats participated in the November, 2019 transatlantic crossing, and it's one of the biggest cruising rallies to be found...

Tips on Passing the RYA Yachtmaster Offshore Exam: These mostly from local RYA instructors. Contact me off-list for a more robust version of what follows. So what’s it like? What does it take to pass? These are the burning questions each candidate ...
Ep 101 Another Big Hop – 860nm Malta to Cartagena Spain
Our race westward continues with a long 860nm passage from the island of Malta, located between the Sicily and the continent of Africa, to Cartagena, Spain. Following a breakage of our electric mainsail furler, we make landfall at Villasimius, on the south...
Ep 99 Big Winds and Big Mileage-Rhodes to Mykonos, Greece
A pretty big passage from Rhodes, Greece, an island occupied and fortified by the Knights Templar, over to the remote island of Symi, then on to the anchorage at Kamari (island of Kos) for some sailboarding, a wedding at Kalymnos, crazy katabatic winds at ...
Ep 98 Four Must-See Cruising Destinations (Southern Turkish Coast)
We visit four of the best spots in southern Turkey for cruising sailboats, Bozak Boku, the cliff tombs of Dalyan, Gocek Bay, and Cokertme. We get some good wind in between and the sailing turns out to be top notch.
Ep 97 Cruising the Southern Turkish Coast (Sailing Talisman)
The eastern Med never fails to amaze. Our stops were largely dictated by what we heard from other cruisers. Someone would say "you have to go here, here, and here", and that's where we'd go. These were some of the best times we'd had.
Ep 96 Blue Star Ferries Near Collision (Sailing Talisman)
Another near miss. This episode is more of a "what to do as a skipper" version. We hate when this happens, but if you're out on the water it'll only be a matter of time. Location is the waters between Greece and Turkey, in the Aegean Sea.
Ep 95 More Maintenance and Bouncing Around Bodrum
A quick COVID-19 update from the Caribbean (Antigua), and then on to some more maintenance in Bodrum, Turkey. Specifically, we address motor mount issues on our genset, install an external voltage regulator (Sterling Power), and add a large fuel filter to ...
Ep 94 Sailing, Ancient Ruins, and Oil Pressure Issues Bodrum
Having left Greece, we arrive in Datca, Turkey. Things are great there, with a laid back style one wouldn't expect.
Ep 93 A Whirlwind of Cruising – Saying Farewell to the Greek Aegean Sea
Wow! What to say. We sailed to so many cool places in a relatively short period of time that it all seemed to blend into one. The winds filled our sails and the sun shone. The water took on the light turquoise color you get when sun and sand bottoms come t...
