We had to wait for a morning with no wind and it finally came. The sails are out of the lockers, out of the sail bags, and with our Bosun Chloe’s help the sail is installed and happily nestled in the lazy bag. Rookie Mistake, can you spot it? After we posted a photo of …
After our fancy new “bottom job” we took the dingy into town to our favorite chandlery on Preveza and bought ourselves all new fenders and lines. Our girl is all polished up and we just couldn’t hang the shabby looking ones back up on her. A huge shout out to Tsoukas Marine for helping …
Stickers are officially on and our boat has a name. We are Bedouin. We chose the name for several reasons. Bedouins are semi-nomadic people who took their homes with them when they travelled. They were known for many things, among them, their hospitality, loyalty to family, and pride of ancestry–three qualities we find admirable. …
A fresh coat of anti-fouling went on yesterday! Today’s job, we will attempt to apply our new boat stickers with as little cussing as possible. Check out the before and after. BEFORE AFTER
Here’s a little interior boat tour. We’ve got a “Get Me to the Greek” guest room going on over on the starboard side. Thanks to the local bedding shop lady who doesn’t speak a lick of English but made it pretty clear with some very enthusiastic gestures that we should buy some Greek blue and …

Mark’s got his own chandlery and hardware store on the starboard side. The original owner remodeled the forward starboard shower into a closet to store his massive collection of spare parts. But don’t worry, there are two other showers aboard, and actually three if you count the one out back on our sugar scoop. …
We got an emergency weather alert late last night, (at least we think that’s what it was since it was all in Greek) so we decided try our first attempt at putting up the enclosure…at night…by flashlight. It was a slight comedy of errors, ending in my search on FB to see if I …
Meet Karen and Marcel. We couldn’t have found better people to buy a boat from! These two Kiwis are “flash”! They’re some of the nicest, most gracious, and adventurous people you’ll ever meet. They’re now off to France to get a glimpse of their new catamaran which is still being built. We’re soooo excited for …
Good morning from dry dock. Wishing there was water beneath us but for now we’re swimming in all the paperwork to get her officially registered in the US.
