Why Are There So Many Holes in Our Boat? | Learning the Lines

DON’T DO THIS With Your Marine Paint | Learning the Lines

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...

No Autopilot, No Plotter, No Mail | When thinks break on the Indian Ocean – Ep 280

I Got Surrounded by Endless Seaweed on My Sailboat…E.184
A Beautiful day at anchor quickly turned into a strange and surreal night. My sailboat was completely surrounded by a massive drifting seaweed patch that seemed to stretch forever.

I’ve been doing a bad job…
The boat finally goes back in the water after months of being on the hard. I also talk about why I haven't been uploading content recently and where things stand as I get closer to finishing the refit. We’re getting there. Slowly but surely. And huge thanks to Taylor for the drone footage - ...

The Reality of Sailing This African Delta Alone | A Map, $170 Tax, Beached boat & Bloody Foot |S7E30
Navigating the Casamance River delta in Senegal is as magical as it is nerve-wracking. In this episode, a pod of dolphins finds me—first following in my wake, then leading the way through the winding, mangrove-lined channels. These dolphins are here for a reason: they’re feasting on the river's...

Installing A High Output Alternator ⚡️
I’ve rewired the boat, installed a new alternator, and made about 100 questionable decisions during the refit. If the engine starts and the boat floats… it will be a miracle. In September 2026 I will begin a 30,000 mile solo nonstop circumnavigation of the planet aboard my 1998 Pacific Seacraft 40,...
Got a New Fuel Tank and Almost Killed My Van
Installed a brand new secondary fuel tank to increase my diesel capacity for the nonstop circumnavigation. It felt like a big step forward, until I realised I’d been driving my van with no oil for a week. Bone dry. Turns out I can only manage one machine at a time. #VanLife In September 2026 I will...
THE SECOND CHANCE | Sailing to Paris (s6, e01)
They say the sun is the best medicine. After years of preparing, I am finally sailing my 32 ton, 50 ft floating home to a place where the sun always shines. But the road was brutal. In 2023, my first attempt ended in disaster when BOTH my main engines died on the North Sea. I was stranded. It took ...
Phoenix Do Mar Is Born
They say renaming a boat is bad luck… I did it anyway. Turns out the real danger was hiding inside the rudder. In September 2026 I will begin a 30,000 mile solo nonstop circumnavigation of the planet aboard my 1998 Pacific Seacraft 40, "Phoenix do Mar", meaning Phoenix of the Sea in Portu...
Drive Shaft & Feathering Prop Upgrade
This week I’m rebuilding my entire drive shaft system: all new feathering prop, cutlass bearing, dripless shaft seal, shaft saver, and coupling. Feels good to finally be putting things back on the boat instead of ripping them off… but there’s a catch. I have absolutely no way of knowing if any of th...
