More projects. Wendy services the winches and sews all the new curtains while I build us a new sunshade. Antonio Vagalis of Yacht Cooling Systems, Preveza installs our new refrigeration system.
We started our passage from Argostoli on Cephalonia to Messolonghi in the Gulf of Patras. Eventually we want to end up in the Aegean and drive through the Corinth. It's pretty exciting to get moving in one direction. We don't get too far on our first day t...
The pre-launch maintenance and upgrade projects aboard Talisman continue, with install of all new head/toilet piping, Oceanaire SkyScreens, sea-cocks and through-hull fitting swaps, and the installation of our new clothes washing machine.
The 2019 season begins with big boat projects. We start with battery checks and move on to toilet / head piping. It's the start of big, or at least numerous, projects that future cruisers can look forward to.
After happy days in Lakka on Paxos we headed to Corfu. Next to the Old Fortress we moored in Poo Harbour, Corfu Old Port.
We settled in doing our first med mooring and will spend a few days in Corfu, since it's Corfu, and we need to wind down, this med mo...
It's been a while. We were busy doing our shakedown sail, being seasick, fixing dumb mistakes, learning from them. And here are the first few days of it. Hope you enjoy.

Talisman finally gets lifted! This is always a stressful time, since improper strap placement can damage prop shafts and instrument transducers. It's also a bittersweet several days of hard work as we prepare to leave our baby for the winter.
Episode 78 finds us back once again in Preveza, killing a little time and getting our boat ready for winter haulout. This was fall of 2018, and the sailing / charter season is winding down. We scheduled for four or five days in order to have time to get ou...
We’re here knowing nothing and learning sailing bit by bit. This week we’re doing some boat jobs again. Trying to attach solar mounts and cut mattresses. Wow, what a time to be alive. Next to that we take Blue and her anchor gear out to a nice bay to p...
As the 2018 season begins to wind down, we take two of our friends, Shawn and Deb, aboard for a short tour of the northern Greek Ionian islands and shoreline. We then head south for Preveza, where Talisman will eventually be hauled.
The strong, fall wind patterns return to Greece after a mid-summer of dulldrums. Starting in Corfu town, we embark on a circumnavigation of the the island. It's not a huge island, but enough to keep us going, stopping in at bays and harbors, for a good wee...
Guys, we finally made it!
We try to launch again and this time nothing is stopping us from floating away in our new home. It feels great to have water under the keel instead of a block of wood. Although driving the boat into the marina, with all the other ...
In todays episode we prepare Blue for launching day and get some last jobs done! We learn very quickly that things are not always easy and often don’t go as planned when you’re living on a boat. Unfortunately our dip in the water is only that: a (quick...
In what turned out to be the culmination of absolutely unbelievable season of things happening to us and around us, we get backed down on by a huge day-cruise boat. I called it a ferry in the title because these sized boats ply the waters around the Ionian...
What begins as a simple swap-out of our 24 volt alternator morphs into an in-depth discussion of sailboat batteries and charging systems. This overview describes the details of shore power, battery chargers, alternators, generators, AC vs. DC power, electr...
Tempers flare in a very tight and shallow harbor. This is the culmination of weeks of frustration with increasingly aggressive behavior by other boat drivers. We're in the small harbor of Assos, which is a beautiful town with a big castle overlooking the l...
Our one day stop at Kastos town, on the island of Kastos (Greece) turns into a couple of days when Wendy pulls something in her back. This highlights one of the negatives of full time cruising, which is that often you're off the beaten path with little or ...
We can't catch a break. Winds pick up in Kioni Harbor, and suddenly Talisman seems to have no holding. We find ourselves being blown back onto the quay, and alarmingly also into the adjacent boats.
Talisman finally gets some bruises. No matter how hard you try, these are the types of things that eventually happen. We've been cruising full time for almost a year now, and this is the first issue of the kind. Join us for some fast sailing and a close ca...
Sailing in Greece is so much fun. The bareboat and charter operations take up a lot of room, but we like having people around and the mood is universally festive. For this portion, in the middle of a week of dead wind we actually find an afternoon of 20 kn...
As we enter the early summer of 2018 in Greece, we find some real gems. We're still learning the habits of Talisman, our Oyster 485 sloop, but she's a rugged and spirited boat. She doesn't steer in reverse very well, but with practice things start to come ...
From summer of 2018, a short (but sweet) episode where we make a stop at the small harbor of Fiscardo, on the Greek Ionian island of Kefalonia. We take an afternoon to dinghy to the adjacent bay to observe the technique of long-lining. Back in town, Talism...
As the title says, it's time for a big hop and the 3-on-3-off watchkeeping rotation that we all love so much. Our trip begins with the dreaded currents of the Strait of Mesina, where we dodge ferry and fishing boat traffic. Then it's out into the wild blue...
Sailing from Croatia to Corfu in Greece. Sailing nonstop while being chased by thunder storms and bad weather. Night sailing and night navigation. Fishing boats without navigation lights or AIS.
This video show only a glimse of why you should not sail lon...
