From naughty girls in binikis to some local culture, this is the last of our episodes from beautiful Koh Phayam. We cover a lot of ground this week. Highlight is learning about the Moken, the original sea gypsies of Thailand. We also sail a 99ft schooner, find a place for meditation, talk about wate...
The mast goes up, and so do I go up on the mast. I have to get used to it, as well as many other challenges we face being sailors. My sailboat refit education with Master Daniel is almost over. Bix and the gang are back to help me raise the sails, and we go and test out an out-of-date life raft surv...
As the trade-winds settle in in the Caribbean, extra strong versions called "Christmas Trades" herald the arrival of the traditional east to west subtropical weather patterns. We got hit hard during this phase, and while it was fun, it was also hard-core.
Finally back in the water after 6 weeks on dry dock. But before then we finish with swing keel, polish and paint the hull with anti-fouling. Then the big crane lifts Galopin to its natural environment.

A watermaker is one of the most useful bits of kit for anyone living on the sea. It provides independence and a supply of water that allows you to break the ties from land. This is the fourth in our series of daily questions and in this one we discuss watermakers. What are they? How do they work? Al...
In a follow-up to last week's update in which we described the miserable weather here, we show you some of the damage that this unprecedented storm has caused. Many thousands of people have been flooded and displaced, whilst a fair few boats have taken a battering too.
But that's just the...
It's the holiday week but we're not on holiday. Got to keep on keeping on with the swing keel which I get delivered by Daniel the man of steel. He takes me to his shop to make custom parts and Dan & Dan manage to fit the 350kg keel in place. Bix is back with his family and we bring in ...
Become a hippy on the best island in the world. Bet you wish you were here! We've found the perfect paradise holiday island with no cars but lots of bars at Koh Phayam. Incredible sunsets and beautiful beaches. Have we sold it to you yet? No? Wait till you see the Hippy Bar. There is nothing li...
Since I’ve departed on my Winded Voyage, I’ve become reacquainted with sayings like “Getting Even Keeled” in the context they originated. In this case getting even keeled really means getting a new balanced keel for Galopin. It hasn’t been easy, but we’re getting there. Daniel, the one that looks li...
We head to St. Thomas, USVI, get a bit tipsy on the beach the night we arrive, head over to Tortola, BVI the next day, and pick up our Jeanneau 469 (bareboat) for 10 days of epic sailing in the Caribbean.
The eternal question of shaving or not. Will I or will I not? The beard does not keep me from continuing on with Galopin's projects. It's almost the holidays and my Dear friend Daniel not only helps but is kind enough to invite me to his holiday party with a genuine French touch.
Please m...
Life on the hard it certainly is. I even got locked in one day and had to make a run for it. And got down and very dirty in that keel pit. But it's not a very big sacrifice knowing I'm going to have a really sound boat. And when I want to go I'm gonna take off
Living the dream of sailing off into the sunset means that sometimes you have to live high and dry. Galopin is on the dry dock and so am I. While we’re getting him ready to take on the oceans, home is on Galopin up on stilts. The retractable keel was an issue which needed attention, and it’s a good ...

I'm not the only one to have a dream of sailing off into the sunset. Here you'll meet several others who are preparing their boat for a big voyage. And I'm continuing to do so my myself. It's a big refit job, and seems to never end, but in the end it will be well wort it, even be...
Work, work, work. After a quick stint in Switzerland to do a paying gig, I board a train to my dear Galopin to do more work. And thanks to Neptune, I’m working with one of the best boat pros in the area. As far as I’m concerned, Daniel is probably the best in the world. Certainly in my world. His at...
This episode is far from distant shores and beautiful people. It’s about getting into the inside of things. Galopin is like a living being with a wired and tube network that gives him life. His inner workings were tired and needed refreshing. In comes my friend Daniel who seems to take a liking to G...
Our trip to San Francisco included a stop to look at a 1994 Nautor Swan 46. The Swan 46 MKII (1989-1997) and 48 (1995-2002) were both German Frers designs, and featured dual aft cockpits separated by a traveler. Two separate companionways made them a unique product on the market, and they are both s...
We finally were sailing downwind. I had prepared my spinnaker three times and put it away. But third try was the one. That was quite a journey and learning experience.
Later a whole other journey begins. The insides of Galopin are opened up. This when a new character comes into the story. Daniel a ...
We travel to San Francisco to look at a 1997 Grand Soleil GS 50. This is a slightly older version of the one we saw in Puerto Rico, and is a Doug Peterson design. The DP version carries the flavor of a German Frers Swan, with two separate cockpits separated by a traveler assembly. It's a single...
