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).

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.

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.

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!

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

Ep 139 Bad Skipper Behavior | Sint Maarten to Antigua
Our guests Jen and Phil arrive in Dutch Sint Maarten, and we sail around the island with them, visiting Grand Case on the French side. This was a blast, and everyone had a good time. But eventually, it was time for us to leave SXM. We opt to sail at night for the 90 nautical mile passage, and altho...
Ep 138 Rigging Failure at Sea | BVIs to Sint Maarten
We bounce around in this episode. We find ourselves in the BVI, using some lost footage that probably should have been in the episodes before James from Zingaro came to visit. That said, on passage from Cooper Island, BVI to Dutch Sint Maarten we suffer a rigging failure that forces us to motor the ...

Ep 136 Windlass Parts and Fischer Panda Generator Repair
Back to our windlass for routine maintenance and our Fischer Panda 6Kva Generator, which might be a bit more than routine.
