Ep 159 Am I Cursed With My Boat Projects? Frustration in Sint Maarten
The cruising life is full of challenges, and truth be told, it would lessen the enjoyment were it not for both the failures and the successes. And there are times when you almost want to give up, but you can’t. These are necessary and important tasks that must be seen through to completion. Should...
Ep 158 Boat Projects, Launching Talisman, Perfect Passage from Antigua to Sint Maarten
This episode isn't too complicated. We prep the boat for launch with a long list of projects to complete. We ride out a Cat 1 hurricane (Tammy), then it's back to work. Our new drone gives us some impressive footage as I learn to fly it. It's a new DJI Mini 3, and it's smaller an...

Ep 156 High Wind Docking, Oyster Regatta, Sail to Guadeloupe
This is a bit of a mashup of footage we took while at our home base of Antigua, W.I. Starting with a rather pedestrian 2 mile motor-sail from Falmouth Harbour over to Nelson’s Dockyard, we find ourselves entering the land of clustered superyachts that almost defines the location. Falmouth and Nelson...
Ep 155 LifePo4 Lithium Marine Battery Install | One Year Debrief
EXPENSIVE MISCALCULATION As longtime viewers will know, the point of this channel has never been to shine a favorable light on ourselves. Instead, we're brutally honest when it comes to admitting our fails. And despite all efforts to be the “no drama” channel, things rarely go perfectly for ver...

Sailing back to the magical island of Rapa Nui (Easter Island), we take locals sailing, harvest honey, and have the privilege of recording a local artist. This is the highlight of a beautiful 10 days in an unimaginably beautiful place. ❤️ Support this channel: Come sailing with us! Patreon: T-s...
Ep 154 Fighting Squalls on Passage to Martinique (Plus Boat vs. Reef)
We depart St Lucia on Passage to Martinique, seeing 20-25 knot tradewinds, but squalls build in the afternoon, presenting wind speeds into the high 30’s (37 knots). For those unaware, these quickly become serious conditions. An un-reefed sail will be torn to shreds in a matter of moments. And upon...
Ep 153 Three Must-Have Finds For The Cruising Sailor (Short)
Three no-paid sponsorship finds for the cruising sailor: On this Christmas Eve, I decided to do a quick short on few items the I’ve discovered and really like. None of these are paid sponsorships, and the manufacturers/suppliers have no idea we’re reviewing these products. The first is a men’s lit...

Ep 151 Heading North to Union Island and Tobago Cays
Talisman continues the northward trek, leaving Grenada and Carriacou for St Vincent and the Grenadines. The first island in the group is Union Island, which is where transient boats clear in. We find that the town of Clifton is barely functioning under years of decay, and only spend one night befo...
Ep 150 More Docking Tips & Tricks, Plus Sailing Grenada
Tips and Tricks for Docking a Larger Sailboat So rather than do an extended written essay like last episode, this time I decided to add voiceovers to the video, which is a less cumbersome way of getting to the same place. We’ll continue along this line in upcoming episodes, so make sure to “like” a...
Ep 149 Docking, Undocking, and Sailing in Grenada and Carriacou
Tips and Tricks for Med Mooring: In this 149th episode of Sailing (Yacht) Talisman, we demonstrate (kind of) a specific docking process called Med mooring. In this case, the bow is going to be secured to laid moorings connected by a heavy chain to a helical screw or concrete block on the bottom (gr...
Ep 148 True Offshore Sailing | 420nm Adventure | BVI’s to Grenada
This episode covers our big (420nm) passage from Nanny Cay, Tortola, BVI’s to Port Louis Marina in Grenada. The point of doing so was twofold. The driving factor was that we’d never visited any of the Caribbean islands south of Saint Lucia, and it was time for that to change. Of secondary importance...
Ep 147 I Refuse to Fail at This! Fischer Panda Generator
Marine generators live in a harsh environment. Not only that, ours is almost 30 years old. And keeping it running has been a constant challenge. But over the years I've learned so much about diagnosing engine and electrical problems that I knew that with some perseverance, we could probably bri...
Sailing To Where The Cinnamon Rolls Grow | Sailboat Story 239
The place we are sailing to is special because it's where cinnamon buns grow. It's a place called "The Island Farm", located in Palmetto Point, Eleuthera. We sail in, drop anchor, launch the dinghy, and work up our appetites with a long hike that has a sweet reward at the end. ~...
Ep 146 For The Sailing Fans – SXM to the BVI’s
At the season got started, we were still doing a lot of boat projects. These never seemed to end, and I didn’t even make videos about some of them as it seemed like we were looking like a “project boat”. But then we set off from Antigua to Dutch Sint Maarten, known locally by its airport code SXM....

Ep 144 Choosing and Commissioning Our New Dinghy
We’re off to Sint Maarten to get our standing rigging replaced and to pick up our new AB RIB! Over the years our old Avon 3.1 Hypalon RIB suffered a multitude of problems, but by far the two most serious were having the rubber coating of the Hypalon fabric delaminate from the canvas substrate below...
A Day In The Life Of A Bahamas Cruising Family | Sailboat Story 233
A day of fun in the beautiful Bahamas. Often times, some of the best days we have while cruising are the simple ones. This is one of those days. Nothing particular to do. No plan. No obligations. Just doing whatever feels right in the moment. ~ Ben, Tambi, & Molly | "SAILBOATSTORY" ...
Ep 143 Installing Mabru 12V Marine Air Conditioning
As a person with a lifelong sensitivity to heat, not having air conditioning on the boat has been the one drawback to cruising. I love the warm, clear waters of the Med and Caribbean seas, but have always struggle with overheating. So we finally dug deep and decided on major surgery for Talisman … ...
Ep 142 Huge 840Ah Lithium Battery Upgrade for Talisman
2022 was probably the year we did the biggest upgrades to the boat. We added air conditioning, replaced the standing rigging, replaced our galley countertops and gimballing stove, bought a new dinghy, and of course upgraded the battery bank. For Talisman, this was a huge upgrade. Not only do these ...
Ep 141 Tuning Industrial Sewing Machines for Marine Canvas Projects
As I say in the episode, this is a bit off topic for a sailing channel, but I keep getting requests for exactly this type of subject matter. So here we go ... In this episode I demonstrate how Strataglass window glass in installed in Sunbrella marine canvass panels. Following that, it’s some in-dep...
