Solo sailing – I miss her | Ep175
There's something about sailing singlehanded, I can't say I really like it, but some aspects are good, I certainly wouldn't be up for a single handed around the world race like the GGR or even a cruising circumnavigation like our friend Barry has done. It's not that anything beco...
Sailing in France: From the Golfe du Morbihan to Brest: Part 2 | DrakeParagon Sailing

Why I’m Sailing Solo Nonstop Around the World
I’ve bought a new boat and I’m getting ready to sail solo, non-stop, around the world. It’s without a doubt the hardest thing I’ve ever set out to do, but maybe the most meaningful. In this video, I try to unpack why I’m taking on something this extreme and what’s really driving the decision. Curiou...
Rule #1, dont lose your cool! Collision repairs part 3 (ep 295)
After hitting a log while sailing at high speed I had plenty of repairs to get done. This is part 3 of 3 of my repair series in Sorong.

Repairing boats is not at the top of my list of fun things to do but what do can you do?

Amazing sailing until….Not Again!!! I hit a huge tree at 12 knots. (ep 292)
I had a 260nm passage ahead of me and this time with favourable winds. In the first 8 hours I banged out 75 miles and was loving it! Finally proper sailing! The night was also very good with minimal traffic, no squalls and lower but ok winds. After an epic breakfast of pancakes and fruit I was back ...
SOS at sea…. OR a false alarm? (ep 291)
A few minutes after leaving Wakatobi an alarm started beeping loudly. I thought it was something relating to my boat for a minute until I realised it was an AIS Safety Warning, an alert being transmitted by someone in distress. It was 6-7nm out of my way and there were two ships passing the area mu...
An amazing marina… and it’s absolutely FREE! (ep 290)

Snapped Engine mounts, sweat, blood, tears and swearing RAW. (ep 289)
After a collision with a submerged log I discovered that the impact had snapped all four engine mounts on my port engine. I was in a pretty remote location with no access to new ones so it was up to me to figure it out. A four day repair mission of sweat, blood and tears and final success. Join me ...
