What’s it like to live and work on a sailboat in the Mediterranean? Let us show you in this week’s episode! We work, snorkel, make a seashell necklace, sail, pick up an unused mooring ball and explore the beautiful island of Ibiza. Not a bad way of life. We hope you enjoy this sailing vlog. As
KITTIWAKE HAS NOW BEEN SOLD With a heavy heart, we have decided to sell Kittiwake. We have been offered a Tayana 37 from 1976 for a great price – an offer we couldn’t refuse, as we dreamed of owning a Bob Perry design double-ender. We always thought Tayanas, Hans Christians, and Unions were out

As we sailed into Spain, we didn’t expect to see 55 knots of wind in the forecast. We thought we’d had enough bad luck up the Guadiana. Except, the weather gods had different plans for us. They decided to throw a new challenge at us. Join us as we decide what the heck to do
