Ep 79 Big Blue Comes For Talisman – Haulout In Preveza
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.

Mounting a Solar Panel and First Time Anchoring (in Heavy Winds!) – BOAT LIFE Ep. 05
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 practice anchoring for the first time. We choose ...

Ep 76 Flying the Chute – Fall Winds Return to Greece
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 week and a half. We did anchor out at Kass...
Driving our boat into our berth, finally! – BOAT LIFE Ep. 03
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 boats around us, little room to manoeuvre an...
If only launching a boat was that easy.. – BOAT LIFE Ep. 02
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.

Ep 75 Crushed By A Ferry – The Joy Cruises Incident
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 islands as ferries, all the time, and calli...

Ep 73 The Skippers Have Words (Sailing Talisman)
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 lush yards of very expensive homes, but ...
Ep 72 Prop Repairs in Fiscardo, Greece (Sailing Talisman)
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 no medical services available. From the...
Ep 71 More Drama – Dragging and Drifting Into Other Boats (Sailing Talisman)
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.

Ep 69 Cruising Destinations III – Porto Spilia, Greece
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 knot winds for a great fun sail.
Ep 68 Cruising Destinations II – Kioni and Sivota, Greece
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 together. Kioni, Greece is on...
Ep 67 Cruising Destinations: Fiscardo, Greece (Quick Take) Sailing Talisman
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, Talisman is right on the town quay, and we drink b...
Ep 66 Crossing the Ionian Sea aboard Oyster 485 Talisman
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 for two full days. We arrive in t...
