We celebrated our first year of boat ownership with Turtles & Toilets! A paradox of celebrations right? And yet in the end, it turned out these two events were well worth celebrating along with our one-year milestone. Yet in the swirl of stench and horror, the toilet debacle was indeed a major …
We nestled Bedouin into a little anchorage off the Island of Ithaca for a couple of days where we hung out and relaxed. After the storms and wind from the week before, we decided to catch up on some sleep and set about on a serious R&R campaign of reading, swimming, and playing cards. …
I’ve been hating on my snorkel lately. The thing leaks and is so uncooperative. I’ve had it for years and up until now, it’s been a champ but our relationship of late isn’t in a good place. My mask is still amazing and my fins are a dream, but the snorkel, it sucks. So …
A shoutout to our new friends on svPaloma. They posted their visit to this waterfall earlier in the season and so we made a point to hunt it down and check it out after transiting the Lefkas canal and settling in to Nidri. Once the big blows finally calmed down we decided the weather window …

Our first transit through a canal is in the books. This was a little warm-up for the big one. We’re headed our way to the impressive Corinth Canal to take the shortcut over to the Aegean. The Lefkas Canal was super easy to transit which gave us time to bask in awe over it’s …

It’s love at first sight. I’m standing in the middle of the street like one of those cartoon characters with hearts beaming from their eyes. And I’m wondering why career day back in my high school days never mentioned this spectacular job. This Piaggio Ape has made me want to be a banana delivery …
Our first stop in Greece—the Corfu Airport where we turned a Greek Tragedy into a success story! Earlier this year, our friend Kris threaded a gauntlet of planes, buses, and cabs and came out to visit us. The good news is she made it without any problems to the boat. The bad news is …
