Ep 140 Caribbean Partying and Sailing in Antigua
Viewers might remember Scott from our passage down from Annapolis at the start of the season. In this episode, Scott and his wife Mary Kay join us for a week of fun in Antigua. We start things out in Dickenson Bay, where we visit the floating Tiki Bar. Rum punches flow as we have probably one of t...
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 137 James From Sailing Zingaro Visits Us In SXM
James has been friends with us now for several years, really since he bought his Oyster 485, a sister boat to Talisman. James is a character and has so much energy it makes you feel lazy. Through his podcasts, live streams, and YouTube Sailing Zingaro episodes, he has created an impressive following...
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. The windlass had a known crack in what is called the “lower clutch cone”, which was an easy enough repair. The footage shown is more about how these units work and what to loo...
Ep 135 Are The British Virgin Islands Up and Running? Part 2
In our long-delayed Part 2 of our tour of the British Virgin Islands, we again ask the question, “Are the BVIs ready for your planned charter or land-based vacation holiday?” To find the answer, you’ll have to jump into this episode and see for yourself. We sail up from Tortola around the west side...
Ep 134 Are The British Virgin Islands Up and Running? Part 1
Are the British Virgin Islands fully open? Let's go see. After the twin hurricanes of Irma and Maria in 2017, which decimated the BVIs, rebuilding was slow, with many of the Iconic restaurants and bars closed and not even being worked on. Then came COVID, and the island officials made coming ...
We’re in the SAME BOAT: Sea stories with Oyster 485 owners @SailingTalisman
Sailing a sister ship, @SailingTalisman have been all around the world in the last 6 years aboard another Oyster 485 (same boat as Zingaro!). Hear some of the amazing sea stories these two have to share in this week's episode of Between Two Sheets. -❤️- Patreon: Paypal: Merch: -👇- Website:...
Ep 133 Rig Retension and Battery Fail
After a short break-in period after our headstay replacement, it's time to retension Talisman's rig. Here's how we did it! We also had our generator start battery fail, which called into question the health of the engine start battery, which is of similar age. Knowing that replacing ...
Ep 132 Recon to St John USVI with David and the Girls
Wendy's brother David shows up with his daughter Alex and niece Georgia for a week in the islands, and a great time was had by all. The islands of the USVI are often overshadowed by the brilliance and honestly superior cruising grounds of the British Virgin Islands, but over the last two seaso...
Ep 131 Is This a Good Idea? DIY Headstay and Furler Swap
The flip side of our rough and rather frightening passage down from Bermuda, in which we nearly lost the rig and my own life a couple of times, was the purchase and install of a new Harken MkIV-Mod3 Ocean Series furler. As part of this upgrade, we replaced the headstay as well. In truth, this was ne...
Ep 130 Near Death Twice in 24 Hours (at Sea)
Knowing better is a good life skill, and one I'm still working at. And on this trip the stupid mounts. In many ways, getting the crap scared out of you focuses the mind, and it's something that honestly doesn't happen that often for me (or us). But in an attempt to solve a problem tha...
Ep 129 Offshore Sailboat Shopping Series: Oyster 575 Walkthrough Tour
As part of our ongoing series on offshore bluewater cruising sailboats (boats specifically designed for world-traveling and heavy weather sailing), we present the Oyster 575. This is one of the penultimate boats that Oyster has ever produced. Questions should go to the comments, and as always I answ...
Ep 128 Sailing to a Tiny Speck in the Middle of the Atlantic Ocean
Another big offshore passage, this time the reverse of what we did last year, heading out from Annapolis on a mirrored route plan to Bermuda. For this trip we bring along two guest crew, Scott and Marty. Together they proved to be a great addition, starting with being relentless workers prior to le...
Ep 127 Quasi-Famous in Annapolis (Squeezed Between Massive Boat Maintenance Projects)
Wow, what a crazy time. We rush to complete a long list of projects, all while hosting guests aboard Talisman during the Annapolis Boat Show. Our open house was a huge success, with over 30 people attending on Saturday, with others coming by Friday, Sunday, and Monday. But the best was getting to me...
Ep 126 Invite to Visit Talisman at the Annapolis Boat Show
So you're going to the 2021 Annapolis Boat Show! We'd love to see you. Come on by, take a look at Talisman, and get the tour. Beers will be on us.
Ep 125 Tornado in Annapolis Harbor?
A real tornado in a populated place like Annapolis? Apparently (and actually) so! It was incredibly powerful, despite not being on the scale you'd see in the American Midwest states of Colorado, Kansas, Iowa, and several others. sailing talisman, sailing, sailing youtube, boati...
Ep 124 Sailboat Shopping – Dufour 430
Here, we had an impromptu opportunity to tour a quite new Dufour 430 sailboat that was currently being chartered but for sale by the owner. It’s a nice example of a modern production boat. Not a heavy ocean sailor but a fun inshore cruiser. Fit and finish was quite good and it would make a nice way ...
Ep 123 950nm of Open Ocean Sailing – Bermuda to Annapolis
After our sporty passage from St Thomas to Bermuda, it’s now time for the second half (unless we want to be stuck there). People might think we spend a lot of time up on the mast, but after the beating Talisman took on the way out, it seemed foolish not to take an extended look at how things were ...
Ep 122 Why a Bluewater Boat? Big Weather St Thomas to Bermuda
The difference between a dedicated bluewater boat and lightweight charter type boat becomes clear (again) as we leave St Thomas for Bermuda. Although the whole passage wasn’t like this (but could have been), leaving under 35-40 knot winds and huge swells once again reinforced the decision to buy an ...
Ep 121 Sailing Sint Maarten to St Thomas, USVI
So here we have some simple sailing footage, as we bring Talisman from French Marigot Bay, in French Saint Martin, over to Simpson Bay Lagoon in Dutch Sint Maarten (SXM), then to Saint Croix in the USVI, and finally to St. Thomas, also in the USVI. This is all in preparation for a longer 900 nautica...
Ep 120 Repairing Windows and Dealing with Idiots
A little of this and a little of that. The location is part Dutch Sint Maarten and part French Saint Martin. There's some repair work for the guys who like that, plus some sailing, since that's what we're supposed to be doing. The window project is a bigger deal than it might appear. ...
Ep 119 Break’in Stuff, Plus Some Fun Mogul Skiing
This is a continuation of our boat maintenance and disaster prevention series. But it starts with some great footage we took skiing moguls and trees at Winter Park Resort Ski Area at our home location of Winter Park, Colorado. Once that's done, we move to a flaw I found that will need work comi...
