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...
Ep 64 Repairs on the Fly – Tropea, Italy (Sailing Talisman)
More easting for Talisman. We motor-sail from Sapri, Italy to Tropea, where they have a nice marina and repair facilities. Tropea is getting us close to the mouth of the Strait of Masina, the heavy shipping zone that separates mainland Italy from Sicily, and this will be our gateway to Greece.
Ep 63 Cruising the Amalfi Coast (Sailing Talisman)
Talisman continues east, reaching Capri and the famed Amalfi coast. Life is good. Having lived aboard the boat for almost a year, and covering over 4000 nautical miles, the daily groove of sailing from place to place is starting to seem normal. The small Italian port towns are so charming, but lang...

Ep 58 Twilight Arrival in a Dangerous Harbor (Sailing Talisman)
A long open water passage from Minorca to Carloforte, Sardiana. But along the way, a favorable tidal stream and brisk winds shortens our trip by almost 12 hours, leading to an almost dark arrival. The channel into Carloforte is notoriously tricky and it's a nail biter for us the entire way in.

Talisman's wonky bilge pump wiring is finally addressed.

As promised, the Oyster folks totally took great care of us while we were there, findin...
Ep 53 Sail P0rn (Sailing Talisman) Cartegena to Alicante
We get up early to make a long day run to Alicante, Spain. The sailing conditions were epic, and although we were close hauled for the first half, later it was beam-on and fast. What a joy it was!
Ep 52 Genset Repair (Sailing Talisman)
We finally tackle a finicky Fischer Panda genset that's been shutting itself down prematurely. I'm sure some viewers will see too much time spent barking up the wrong trees, but the point is to show how hard it can be to diagnose problems.
Ep 51 Sailing Talisman from Ceuta, Spanish Morocco to Cartagena, Spain
We finally head east and north, across a long expanse of Mediterranean open water. It's a big passage, nothing like our short shakedown across the Strait of Gibraltar. We pass through weather fronts and sail during the night dodging shipping traffic.
Ep 50 Cruising Sailboats: Amel Super Maramu vs Oyster 485 (Sailing Talisman)
We get a full tour of the Amel Super Maramu, a classic bluewater cruiser. This is the boat made famous by Brian and the rest of the crew on s/v Delos, and is much beloved worldwide. Of course we had to show off Talisman too.
Ep 49 Big Weather in Gibraltar, then off to Ceuta, Spanish Morocco
We see a weather window to leave Gibraltar for Ceuta, but then get hammered on both ends.
Ep 44 Boat Projects: Installing Fusion Wired Remote (Sailing Talisman)
In this departure from sailing down the Atlantic coasts of Spain and Portugal, we take time for a minor upgrade. This is a project video, showing install and wiring for the Fusion Audio wired remote control product. A bit about how these things go into a boat.
