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...
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, Talism...
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...
Ep 62 Anchoring Italian Style (s/v Talisman)
We arrive at Procida, just off Naples, to find ourselves in the midst of a huge party.
Ep 61 The Incredible Isola di Ponza, Italy
We leave Rome and head east under growing winds to the small island of Ponza, with its one small town and protected, Roman-built harbor. Talisman lies at anchor in an adjacent cove while we explore. You step back centuries in time.

It's hop skip and jump up the southeastern coast of Sardinia.
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 ...

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 48 Electric In-Mast Furler Resurrection (Sailing Talisman)
This is more of a maintenance video, as the Hood Formula electric mainsail furler we disassembled in the previous episode is reassembled, painted, installed, and used. There is a real skill set to using in-mast furling systems of all types, and I list some...

Ep 44 Boat Projects: Installing Fusion Wired Remote (Sailing Talisman)
