It’s 3am and the little town of Slano is glowing from the aftermath of a ferocious lightning storm. We’ve been anchored in the bay here for the last five days, soaking up this super relaxed town and some of the warmest water. We planned a quick stopover but enjoyed it so much we just …
When your neighboring boat has better amenities than yours, it’s time to make friends. This little pedal boat came close enough to our anchorage that I saw it had a slide. Bedouin doesn’t have a slide soooooo… I looked at Mark and told him I’d be right back and jumped ship. Next thing …
Mark packed his Sailrite sewing machine with us when we left the states to move onto the boat. He had to take it out of its hard case and stuff in precariously into a hard-shell suitcase. This was carted along with another hard-shell case that contained an actual kitchen sink. Both of these treasures we …
A little swimwear conundrum has caused a bit of a crisis onboard Bedouin. I recently noticed that while I’m constantly jumping in the water to cool off all day long, Mark doesn’t seem to use our “backyard pool” as often as I do. When I asked him why, he said he hates his …

Finding this gem was more magical than that. Our first stern tie is successfully and spectacularly in the …
📩 Dear Croatia, Would you kindly ask your mayonnaise manufacturers to bottle their product in another color. Yellow has already been taken by the mustard people. Dijamant! It is very confusing. Much appreciated, Bedouin Head Chef
Did you ever hear the story known as “Hair-gate”?? The one where a certain President shut down LAX while getting and $200 hair trim on board Air Force One… This is not that story. This is about a free haircut onboard Bedouin—where we were about to learn we had a fancy barbershop located …
A huge shoutout to our new friend Jack! He saw our American flag and paddled over to see if we were from the states. Jack is from New Hampshire and he’s here on vacation sailing with his family and also an Uncle from the UK. (Quite possibly a few other relatives are on board …
Beautiful Krka Falls–worth wedging Bedouin under a bridge and easing her into a marina slip so we could adventure for the day. It’s also the height of fire season around here, which sadly reminds us these days of Oregon summers. As we sailed back under the bridge we came to the narrow point in the …
