What do you do when you have an anchorage all to yourself? Scurfing of course. We hook dinghy up with a line and we are off. Poor dinghy and motor took a beating but we LOVED IT! This week we find ourselves on the Island of IOS....normally known as a the p...
It's a mad dash to get everything done before the big splash. We move back on board and focus our attention on installing our new poly-carbonate windows and making some boat curtains to frame them.

The number one question we get when we share this choice: WHY?

We're back at Tarka after aa much needed mental break in Hawaii. It's a cold return to North Carolina, though, and we were totally unprepared....what's new? We're glad to be back aboard and we're quickly getting to work to get Tarka back in the water!!!
Diving a World War II ARADO AR 196 wreck is the highlight of this episode. We do a heap of sailing this week around quite a few Greek Islands. Visiting each one for a couple of days and taking advantage of the Meltemi Wind. We get to drive again....this ti...

It’s time to hit up Athens....you can’t travel to Greece and not see Athens! So we try everything possible to get there with Zephyr but it seems impossible. Marinas there are crazy expensive and there is no place to anchor nearby...so after much debate...
The bottom of the boat wasn't wet so it was the ideal opportunity to get on with more work on the underside this week. We continue the awkward work of treating and painting the flakey areas and yet again discover things are not as bad as they appear.
