On this week's episode of Onboard Lifestyle, the crew prepares basik by painstakingly removing the hardened growth from her bottom. The process was monotonous but successful. The Kiwi props and zincs were removed as well and thoroughly clean. With her all...
With so much stuff to buy it's easy to get ripped off.
So how do you return something to another country that is 240kg?

From Gibraltar, I continue toward Madeira. In the Strait of Gibraltar, I have to pass through the area where most orca attacks have been reported. Fortunately, I make it through there without to see any. The next four days are beautiful Atlantic sailing an...
On this week's episode of Onboard Lifestyle, the crew was so involved with finishing up the synthetic rigging, the haul out date snuck up on us. With a nicely timed break in the wind, we shift gears and haul basik out of the water for the first time in 26 ...

But we need to get it done before we can move

Von Gibraltar aus geht es weiter Richtung Madeira. In der Straße von Gibraltar muss ich durch das Gebiet, wo die meisten Angriffe von Orkas gemeldet worden sind. Zum Glück komme ich dort gut durch, ohne sie zu sichten. Dann folgen vier Tage schönes Atla...

On this week's episode of Onboard Lifestyle, we make big progress with our new hybrid rigging refit. Basik's mast is positioned and secured with wire cap shrouds and headstay and the remaining eight supports (2 runners, 2 intermediates, 4 lowers) all being...
We have a big job and a big lift to get done.
The only problem is we don't have the right stuff.
Waiting for yard staff was taking to long so we did it without them.
Lots of new stuff happened this week, We are getting closer every day!

Finally, I leave Almerimar and head west. The voyage is characterized by rough conditions, but also by occasional beautiful sailing. In Gibraltar, I fill up with diesel and make my final anchor stop off Algeciras before heading through the Strait of Gibral...

But with help from many people we made the right call!

In this episode we are replacing two of our old crusty & corroded portlights! And leaky too.
What SHOULD have been an easy swap out / swap in is NOT going that way at all … in true Joco fashion we have to almost reinvent the wheel to figure out this...
Gecko sails through the hole in the wall or gugari rip in Northern Australia. The current can rip through this pass up to 13 knots so we have to time it really carefully to be able to get through

But we had to go back right after we left.
Nothing ever seems to go right at the start of a refit but it all comes together in the end... right... tell me I'm right.
