Ep 83 Rush to Launch
We're down to the wire and the Travel Lift is coming ready or not! We struggle with a seemingly endless number of broken items and jobs that don't go as planned. But it's still time to splash.
Ep 69 Cruising Destinations III – Porto Spilia, Greece
Sailing in Greece is so much fun. The bareboat and charter operations take up a lot of room, but we like having people around and the mood is universally festive. For this portion, in the middle of a week of dead wind we actually find an afternoon of 20 kn...
Ep 68 Cruising Destinations II – Kioni and Sivota, Greece
As we enter the early summer of 2018 in Greece, we find some real gems. We're still learning the habits of Talisman, our Oyster 485 sloop, but she's a rugged and spirited boat. She doesn't steer in reverse very well, but with practice things start to come ...
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, a...
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 ...
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.
Ep 60 Offshore Sailing – Sardina to Rome (Sailing Talisman)
From the Island of Sardinia we head across open water to Rome, on the mainland of Italy.
Ep 59 Docking and Undocking in Rugged Southern Sardinia
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 57 Who Needs A Working Bilge Pump Anyway?
Talisman's wonky bilge pump wiring is finally addressed.
Ep 56 Sailing the Balearic Islands … Menorca
Talisman continues east, landing in Menorca.
Ep 55 New Electronics for Talisman
We add some new Raymarine i50 and i60 (wind, speed, depth) instruments to our system. These plug directly into the new SeaTalkNg backbone and eliminate the last vestiges of the legacy ST1 system. Here's how we did it.
Ep 54 Pilgrimage to Oyster Yachts, Palma de Mallorca (Sailing Talisman)
We take our two friends, Shanna and Kelly, aboard for a passage over to the Balearic Islands. From Ibiza town (as opposed to Ibiza island) we head over to Palma de Mallorca and the Oyster Brokerage outpost there. As promised, the Oyster folks totally took ...
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 47 Furler Fail (Sailing Talisman)
Following our major furler failure, which damaged our sails and scared the crap out of us, the furler becomes the center of attention for a full rebuild.
Ep 46 Rough Passage to Gibraltar
We leave at 2:00 am from Rota, Spain for a passage down to Gibraltar. See our Patreon page at: https://www.patreon.com/sailingyachttalisman
Ep 45 Hot Chicks in Rota, Spain
We continue heading south toward warmer weather and finally find the beaches we were told of.
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 b...
