We see these fishing platforms everywhere in this part of the world, but didn't know much about them until Jamie began this photo documentary. They drag their concrete anchors with ease, so we had learned to be wary of them in anchorages.
It was a while before we learnt what they are called (...
Crossing borders on a sailboat is the same as travelling anywhere abroad. Except that with a boat, you need to times the bureaucracy by 10 in some countries… We've done it in seven minutes and three days. We know people who have been arrested on arrival, and there are some places where you just...

There are difficult anchoring scenarios we all have to face at some point: deep water, strong currents and winds. Add poor chart datum and a rocky bottom then things get tricky...

Do you know the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (aka the Col Regs)? And did you know that if you crash your boat you could be liable and your insurance could be nullified if you're found to have broken the rules?
We run through some basic guidelines to help you avoi...

Do sailing YouTubers need to think twice before filming the remote and secluded locations they visit and alerting the rest of the world to their existence? Is it ruining travel for the rest of us?
And what about local communities? Is it right to put a spotlight on undeveloped places around the world...
A tropical cyclone developing off western Australia to the south of us, meant it was time to skedaddle. And what lay in front of us was a 30-mile passage through the Lombok Strait. Known for its unpredictable and fierce currents, this would be a chance to test all the systems we had replaced or repa...
Watermakers are an essential piece of kit for remote cruising, so we take good care of our Schenker Zen 30. In this boat work episode, Jamie takes us through how he replaces the membranes. But don't make the same mistake, he nearly lost a nipple in the process!
Like most people, we get to know...
This is it, we've reached The End. A few months and 2500 miles from Malaysia to Indonesia later, we arrived at our destination, Medana Bay
It's been incredible, incomparable and, at times, impossible. Broken engine mounts, snapped deck fittings, dirty fuel, charging problems, snagged pro...
In the Flores Sea, we once again cranked up our code zero sail, aka 'The Kraken'! The conditions were perfect. In this video, we run through our setup and get to wondering about the maximum safe wind speed for a Code Zero? Do you have any code 0 wisdom to share?

Cruising by sailboat is exhilarating, but absorbing new cultures and meeting new people is the real adventure. To make someone smile when you don't speak each other's language is the icing on the cake. It's the REAL reason we are sailing around the world.

After what felt like months of bashing against wind and waves in the Banda Sea, we finally turned south-west into the south-easterly trade winds. After 120 miles averaging 5kn, we would be racing across the Flores Sea towards Lombok. And guess what? Trade wind sailing is GOOD!

All cruisers are obsessed with weather forecasts, and the main phenomena we watch in forensic detail are the "lows" you'll hear them banging on about in the weather news. The opposite of "highs" (which generally bring settled, clear weather) a low front can cause severe rain...
Every sailor will tell you that when you are preparing to cast off the lines, there is never enough time. So with mostly technical and marine systems to service before we leave, it was a pleasant contrast to watch our galley and head renovation come together.
