Mini series - 5 - Calling All Adventurer's

Adventure truly is the key to life. It's about stepping outside our comfort zones, embracing the unknown, and discovering new experiences that enrich our lives. Every adventure, whether big or small, teaches us something valuable. The moments that inspire us the most often come from taking risks, exploring new places, or meeting new people. They remind me that life is a journey full of possibilities.

Episode 231 - We're Running Out of Water on our Sail Boat and have a Wild Beast Onboard!

This week guys we are on the search for water, which isn't always easy to get whilst sailing the world! Some countries are easier than others, but this week we sail to a couple of different marinas in search of water and finally get some at a big fuel dock with a bit of fuel. All the while we get to hang out and explore some beautiful little anchorages and swim in some luscious turquoise waters. Watch out for the attack of the beastie when it comes to grooming time!

Episode 222 - Hour Special! Noisy Italian BoatYard, Engine Service and Horrifying Bodged Repairs!

We are stuck in this Italian boat yard in Crotone for 3 weeks!!! it was meant to be 10 days to get the repairs done, for all those scratches and cracks caused from the big boat which dragged onto us last year! Every job which we were promised was delayed and then when they did carry out the work it was a complete bodge job by lads who didn't have a clue what they were doing! It was probably one of the most frustrating few weeks of our lives, especially for Chris who had continuous arguments w...

Ep 221 - Night Sails and Engine failure!

Busy week as ever! We get the last couple of essential jobs done before night sailing to another part of Italy so we can get Pickle lifted out the water to repair the damage from the crash last year in Turkey! But as ever we have a minor engine problem, as we leave the marina in the darkest of nights, we have to drop an anchor to replace a pully and water pump just off shore, thankfully there was little wind and we swiftly recover, sailing on to get lifted out of the water in Crotone.

Tier Changes

Hi Guys, We have up coming tier changes, which I will post about in greater detail soon.

This is starting this November until everyone is swapped over. I think mine is due to start 1st November 2024. As you know I always release at least an episode per week so d...
