Ep 118 Offshore Shakedown, Antigua to Sint Maarten

Ep 117 More Failproofing for Talisman
Failproofing is an elusive thing. No way to ever fully failproof a boat, but we do what we can.

This failure was clearly the result of our riggers not taking the job seriously en...

Ep 115 Talisman Sails!
Talisman has a date with the dentist, in a way. We suppose that's probably what it's like for a boat. But the spars are newly coated in blindingly shiny Awlgrip paint, and the results are something to behold. In truth, this wasn't a purely cosmetic upgrade, as corrosion had been creep...
Ep 114 Big Boat Prep for Post Hurricane Season Launch
As mentioned in the intro, this episode is about the real work it takes to get a boat in the water. Plus, Talisman had her mast off for recoating during hurricane season in the Caribbean, and we were so excited to see the results. It seemed like the list of projects never got shorter. For every one ...
