Sailing around the world teaches you to have faith in your anchor. Sometimes it was nerve-wracking as to whether or not the anchor would hold, but after learning proper techniques, we knew we could trust the anchor to hold us through the worst of conditions. Having anchors in your life is important. The potential metaphors are endless.

Motoring towards Riposto, a bit bored so time for a challenge :-)
Bring Sally Up....
I love this clip https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=41N6bKO-NVI take the challenge for whatever exercise you feel like doing.
Easy concept, follow the music :-). On "bring Sally up" you're in the highest position of the exercise and on "bring Sally down" the lowest. ...
So I said the Ionian was somewhere over there? Hmm and there it will stay for a few days. Yesterday getting ready to come into Marina di Leuca I was leaping around with lines and noticed smoke (steam) coming out from the starboard exhaust. Quick run to other side and no, nothing there plus more water coming out. Alerted the Boss who has spent past couple of ...
This idea was given by other people who asked if I'd be interested in hosting "guest articles" on subjects that us, fellow cruisers, could certainly learn from and perhaps adopt ideas even if we modify whatever it is to suit our lives. Why not? Simply living the lifestyles that many of us do means we're very open to new ideas and views :)
Fantastic ...

I've always been obsessed with good food and usually wake up with the thought of what to cook today. So ploughing through hundreds of recipes in books and online, wow there's some inspired cooks out there, then putting my own twist on them. We all do it right, read something and think but what if I change this or that? My passion is spicy ...
Missing ingredient definitely spinach! Lovely wilted in at the end, it wasn't on my shopping list...I'm useless without a compete list! That said I did have a couple of handfuls of sugar snap peas left, so in they went.
It really doesn't take very long and then the curry just merrily cooks away in your slow cooker/thermal cooker/ stove top or in the ...
Love a challenge and Greek? Wow, it's challenging for sure! This clip is helping me learn the alphabet: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=k6gCaGEi3rA
As is writing it out but, I suspect, I'll be carrying this bit of paper around for weeks..
The galley is closed until we get back in the water, at just after 7h it was already 28 degrees and 68% humidity so ...

Someone asked me recently if I get scared when sailing. I answered no, not scared as such..twitched perhaps in new (to me) situations usually based on the "heck, can I do this properly" factor.
I have been in scary situations but not on our boat. Several years ...
Believe me the flavours are so good I doubt you'll miss having meat in it.
