Guests on board this week - Mike and Kristy. Xanthe met these two at a music festival 4 years ago. We were camping neighbours for the week; then as chance would have it, we became actual neighbours when they moved to the same suburb as us in Sydney. We pretty much lived in each other's pockets ...
Stumbling Around St Lucia Finding Our Land Legs After 20 Days At Sea ~ Vlog #28
After 20 days at sea it took us a while to get used to using the old legs again; not to mention how long it took to scrub off all the algae, barnacles and miniature crabs who had taken up residence on Avalon's bottom. Now we find ourselves in the Caribbean it's finally time for Jackson to...

Fuerteventura with two very esteemed guests in the shape of Freyja and Bubbles. Xanthe's two best mates made a short trip over from the UK to sail and surf around the island. A lot of love bursting out the seams of this episode. Freyja, Xanthe and Bubbles all moved to Australia together more t...

Send Help! DRIFTING 100 Nautical Miles Out To Sea With Nobody Around But 25 Dolphins ~ Vlog #18
With every long passage we learn a stack more, about ourselves, about each other, about life at sea, and first and foremost, about Little Miss Avalon. This time we learnt that motor sailing on a starboard tack is a sucky move. Oh, and that our hand pump (fuel) doesn't work. As perverse as it m...
3 Days at Sea That Lead us to Incredible MALTA – Vlog #17
3 days at sea for Finding Avalon as we make the crossing from Greece to Malta. Sadly the boom didn't make it :( Luckily Malta turned out to be the best country we have been to for marine shops and a week of boat jobs surrounded by its enchanting scenery and rich culture did the job. Xanthe�...
Sailing to Zante With TURTLES and 46 Knots of Breeze – Vlog #16
We were propelled towards Zante with 46 knot winds. As much as we relished this, we did have to wise up in the end and seek refuge on the island of Kefalonia.

When Sailing into a Thunderstorm or Anchoring in a Former Minefield are the Only Options – Vlog #14
A huge run of bad luck for Avalon. We leave for our first overnight passage and were forced to learn a series of lessons the hard way. Having to choose between heading into a thunder storm with 40 knots of breeze in irons, or ducking in to a bay and dropping anchor in a former World War II minefield...

Anchoring our Boat Next to a Submarine Cave in Croatia ~ Vlog #11
Our best week on Avalon yet. We had heard great things about the Southern Dalmatian Islands of Croatia, but had not been prepared for how perfect they truly are.
