In July of 2014 I purchased a 42 ft sailboat. She was built in 1985 by Hallberg Rassy in Sweden. In this series of videos I will be documenting my experiences as I fix things, break things and alternate between the pleasure of sailing and the sheer terror of narrowly averting disaster. In other words, the life of a sailboat owner. Click the subscribe button to follow along.

is an incredible opportunity to meet unexpected and diverse leaders from across the yachting industry. I had the privilege of speaking with Giuseppe Capobianco from Model Maker Group, who is showcasing his work here at FLIBS and globally. With 25 years in the business, he and his talented team are behind most of the yacht and boat models you see today.

The current Greece / Turkey border crisis reminds me of our encounter recently at the Greece Turkey sea border off the coast of Kos. Not exactly 'Greece under attack' as some media reports have been saying but it demonstrates how it's not just about rubber dinghies full of immigrants or refugees. This jetskier easily evaded the Hellenic Coast Guard high speed boarder patrols, dropped off a passenger on Kos and returned to Turkish waters in the space of about 20 minutes! Now we're in Spain the border crisis feel just as bad with near daily Maydays on our VHF from migrant boats entering Spanish waters from Morocco. _________________ PLEASE NOTE: YouTube have disabled comments on most of our video blogs (and on other family channels) due to safeguarding issues regarding minors on the YouTube platform.
