oin us as we explore the vibrant streets of Palermo, the heart of Sicily’s culture, history, and culinary delights! In this video, we’ll take you on a breathtaking journey through the city’s most iconic landmarks, hidden gems, and lively markets. We begin at the stunning Teatro Massimo, Italy's largest opera house and a symbol of Palermo’s artistic grandeur. Next, we wander through the Quattro Canti, the “Four Corners” of Palermo, where baroque architecture meets the pulse of city life. No visit to Palermo is complete without a stop at the Palermo Cathedral, a fascinating blend of Norman, Moorish, and Gothic influences. We’ll also visit the Palazzo dei Normanni (Royal Palace) and the awe-inspiring Palatine Chapel, adorned with shimmering Byzantine mosaics. We’ll dive into the bustling atmosphere of the Ballarò Market and Mercato di Capo, where local vendors offer authentic Sicilian street food and produce. Don’t miss the eerie yet fascinating Capuchin Catacombs, home to Palermo’s mummified history. For art and serenity, we’ll stroll through Piazza Pretoria, known for its magnificent Fountain of Shame, and admire the adjacent Church of Santa Caterina d'Alessandria. We'll also visit San Giovanni degli Eremiti, famous for its red domes and lush gardens. Finally, we’ll guide you to the Church of the Martorana (Santa Maria dell'Ammiraglio), showcasing some of Sicily’s most beautiful mosaics. If you’re planning a trip to Palermo, this video is your perfect guide to the city’s top sights, rich history, and vibrant culture.

Introducing the new addition to Harken’s powered winch lineup. The DynaDrive™ winches are designed from drawing board up as powered winches. This has positive performance and deck design impacts. DynaDrive’s epicyclic design locates a two-speed gearbox on the upper part of the winch. This space-efficient design requires less area within the drum for gearing. This creates vertical space within the drum for the motors, which live almost completely within the drums. This saves headroom below deck which is very attractive to designers of large boats with cruising as the primary mission. For more information, please contact Harken's Custom Grand Prix Sales Team at mark.wiss@harken.com. -- Visit Harken 👉 https://bit.ly/Harken_

We're Nick and Terysa and we’ve become completely obsessed with the idea of sailing around the world and sharing our experiences and information through our sailing lifestyle videos with others. We met travelling around India, and quickly agreed that rather than “settling down” and doing what most normal people do, we wanted to travel and have adventures! We moved onto our 38 foot monohull in 2014, sailed across the Atlantic twice, cruised the Caribbean, Bahamas and Europe, before buying a brand new 45 ft catamaran! We hope you enjoy what we do.

The last time we see land! Squalls and the open ocean! 🌊 The Bravest Dog in the World Is About to Change It. Help Us Get There. I’m Kimmer O’Reilly — sailor, survivor, and founder of a mission that shouldn’t be possible. Two-time blood cancer nearly took my life. When I survived, I expected joy. What came instead was an identity crisis. I didn’t know who I was anymore — just that the old me was gone. Then came Casper — my service dog, my best friend, my reason to fight forward. Now, Casper and I are doing something no one believes can be done: a nonstop solo circumnavigation of the globe… starting from the wrong side. We’re sailing east, into the wind and current, through the Southern Ocean and past the Cape of Good Hope — proving that after cancer, life isn’t over. It can be better than it ever was. But we’re not just breaking records. We’re launching a nonprofit to help cancer survivors rediscover purpose, identity, and joy. This GoFundMe isn’t just to keep our sails full. It’s to build something that lasts long after we return. Donate today — not just to help Casper and me sail around the world, but to help thousands of survivors believe they can start again. Let’s show the world what’s possible. 👉 https://bit.ly/BravestDogInTheWorld

Episode 433 : Hello Friends, On this episode I attempt to extend my visa and find that once again the Indonesian government has changed the rules and the immigration office refuses to extend my visa forcing me to have to clear out of the country early. Indonesia is known as the absolute worst country to deal with when it comes to paperwork for sailing through their country (as far as countries where people regularly cruise by sailboat). They constantly change the rules over night and make things even more complicated than they need to be. Many yachts clear out before the border because the harbor master at the final clear out office is known to be corrupt and rips off anyone who clears out there. But if something goes wrong in the next 400 miles It will make things very complicated for me. If you enjoy the channel please "Like" the videos and Subscribe so you don't miss any future episodes.

2025 BALBOA YC GOVERNOR'S CUP (Sun 3 Aug 2025) — End of Semi-Finals and Finals

The Bavaria 37 Cruiser (2007) offered here is an exceptional example of meticulous ownership and continuous upgrading. Owned by her second private owner, this boat has never been chartered and has spent each year since new in a strict summer sailing / winter dry storage cycle.  In 2023–2024, she was sailed from Finland to Greece as part of a sabbatical cruise and lived aboard full-time, making her comprehensively equipped for serious offshore cruising and extended liveaboard use. With extensive upgrades from 2021 to 2025 this Bavaria stands out as one of the best-kept and best-equipped examples available in Greece today. Mechanically, the boat features a reliable Volvo Penta D1-30 engine, a serviced saildrive with a new diaphragm, and a folding 3-blade propeller. Energy needs are fully supported by a 412Ah LiFePO4 battery bank, 470W of solar, and a Victron Multiplus inverter/charger system.  Electronic systems include a full Raymarine suite with radar, autopilot, AIS transceiver, NMEA2000 backbone, and a Starlink Mini and Glomex 4G system for internet connectivity. Comfort upgrades include Webasto heating, electric toilet, reupholstered mattresses and saloon cushions, a full galley, and a Dometic freezer. On deck, she boasts recent standing and running rigging, full-batten OneSails mainsail, furling genoa, and unused storm jib. The teak-lined cockpit includes a powerful electric windlass with remote, Rocna Vulcan anchor, sprayhood and bimini, and a Highfield RIB tender with Mercury 20 hp EFI outboard.  Safety is enhanced with EPIRB, jacklines, drogue, and composite through-hulls and seacocks.  The boat is completely ready for her next adventure.
