Sailing in the Mediterranean Episode 278 Chris Ryba of S/Y Olivia Grace


 

This is from the great website Chris put together to record this voyage:

https://oliviagrace.travel.blog/home-page/

This voyage began in 2015 when I sent Joy a text message: “Just an idea… what do you think of taking a 6-month sabbatical?” I also sent a link to Sailing Totem (https://www.sailingtotem.com/welcome-aboard). Fully expecting a quick dismissal, I was floored upon receipt of her response, “that sounds awesome. Lets do it.” A few days later, Jimmy Cornell’s treatises, which detail world cruising routes and destinations, arrived via Amazon and we were “off to the races.”

Since that time, countless hours have been spent planning and preparing. From the big issues, (e.g., money, home, safety and education) to the small, (mail, lawn care, snow removal), we’ve done our best to ensure a safe and seamless transition to a “voyaging lifestyle,” albeit a temporary one. From 2015 through 2020, on any given night our dining room table was covered in nautical charts, cruising guides and nautical almanacs. Winters were spent at Larsen Marine in Waukegan partially refitting the boat for extended cruising. Broad information on the refit is detailed under “Our Vessel” and blog entry “Outfitting for 2020 Sabbatical.”

We broke the news to the girls in 2017 and received a mixed response. Frankly, neither of them is excited about this. And, admittedly, our anticipated track is a long one. Of the two, Frankie—who spends 5 days per week sailing Optis during the summer—is more resistant, but mostly because she does not want to leave the dog. Evelyn, on the other hand, is largely ambivalent. But given the choice, it is clear that Evelyn (13 at the time of cast-off) would rather be with her friends and electronics than with her parents and sister aboard a small sailboat. From my perspective, that’s all the more reason to go and go now......&quot;

Sailing in the Mediterranean Episode 276 Jon Bilger founder of PredictWind
Jon Bilger  Bio:
One might say the seas are in PredictWind Founding Director Jon Bilger’s genes. The son of a triple Olympian sailor, Jon set sail at the age of eight, traveling with his father to attend regattas around the world. Jon carried the family legacy forward, sailing on to become an Olympian in his own rite as well as a two-time America’s Cup winner and New Zealand National Champion in multiple classes.
 
As a lifelong competitive yachtsman, Jon knows how dangerous sudden weather changes can be. A seemingly benign thunderstorm event forced Jon and his crew to sail with a jury-rigged broken mast for the final 10 days of a Transpacific race, underscoring the importance of reliable, accurate, and remotely accessible weather forecasting. After spending 10-years on the America’s Cup scene, including serving as Weather Team Manager for the Swiss team and Navigator for the TAG Heuer team and utilizing the best forecasting technology in the industry, Jon was determined to make this private technology available to the public at large to help prevent dangerous, potentially life-threatening situations at sea.
 
PredictWind is a passion project driven by Jon’s desire to keep sailors of all ilks as safe and prepared as possible. Thirteen years in the making, PredictWind provides the most accurate and reliable wind and marine forecasting tools available, at a price every seaman can afford. Today PredictWind serves nearly a million users and Jon considers his company the lighthouse keeper of the world, offering accurate forecasting 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to anywhere on the planet.
 
Jon holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Auckland. When he’s not working, you’ll find him wind foiling, kite foiling, or wing foiling with his wife and two daughters.

Sailing in the Mediterranean Episode 275 Steve Payne pt. 2 England to Malta on a motorboat
Quick bio:

I was born on the south coast of England, but moved to London as soon as I could. After a few silly jobs, I decided to become a photographer. I had cards printed up before I even owned a camera.  Started out working for the music press and ended up working for The Evening Standard, London's newspaper, but I slowly slipped back into the music industry and ended up directing a bunch of live concert videos. Then I got invited to do a couple of jobs in Los Angeles and fell in love with the place ….. so I stayed ….. for 27 years. I returned to the UK to look after my elderly mother, after she had floated off into the ether, I had some choices to make. To be honest, I didn't see a great future in the slowly declining United Kingdom, so I bought a boat and headed south. I wasn't even sure where I was aiming for, but Malta kept creeping into the conversation. After two wonderful years travelling on the rivers and canals of France, then around the coast of France, Italy and Sicily, I ended up in Malta. It's been quite an adventure.

You might enjoy looking at a couple of my videos for background.

Sailing in the Mediterranean Episode 273 Franz Diary of 2023 Atlantic Crossing
The first and only audio diary I made for the 2023 Atlantic crossing

note we had not really solved the engine air bubble problem.  When I got to Trinidad I had a mechanic look at the engine he had me run the electric pump for about 5 min and found the leak at the banjo bolts on the engine fuel filter.

After researching this it appears to be a common problem YOU CANNOT INSTALL THE COPPER SEALING WASHERS ON THE BANJO BOLTS  CORRECTLY GRAVITY PREVENTS THE COPPER WASHERS FROM SEATING INTO THE MACHINED GROVES, THE SOLUTION FOR THIS IS TO GET SPECIAL WASHERS THAT HAVE SOME SORT OF RUBBER COATING THAT ALLOWS THEM TO SEAT WITHOUT BEING ALIGNED INTO THE GROVES!!!

I HAVE ORDERED THESE FOR INSTALLATION when I return

Sailing in the Mediterranean Episode 272 John Flewitt and Michael McGuire Atlantic Crossing 2023

Dylan Magaster In person meeting in Cape Verde part 2
 

I met in person Dylan Magaster in Cape Verde.  About half way thorough the interview we both realized that we had talked before in 2020

Below are the show notes for that interview!......

 

------------------

I received this email from Dylan, so how could I resist the interview invitation!

Hello,

My name is Dylan Magaster and I am the creator of the successful YouTube channel FLORB with 600k subscribers and over 100M views
(www.youtube.com/dylanmagaster). I believe if you were to bring me as a guest to your podcast we could create an episode that would provide a lot of value and entertainment to your listeners.

I started a career in YouTube at the age of 21 years old with a backpack and $1,000. After 6 months in South America I converted a van in order to begin my travels in North America. About 2 years ago I moved to the Mediterranean and bought a sailboat with only 7 days of sailing experience. I have since sailed from Spain to Croatia, all the way into the Black Sea and all the way down to Tunisia, where I am currently living aboard on my 1939 Morgan 382 sailing boat, The Arianrhod, until the borders reopen.

My life choices and professional journey have been called anything from risky to unconventional but FLORB is now a full-fledged, reputable film production company based in Los Angeles, California.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Cheers!
Dylan





Dylan Magaster flew to South America at the age of 21 with only $1,000 in the bank and
his camera gear. He backpacked for 6 months, converted a van, and began creating influential
short documentaries showcasing Alternative Living. After nearly two years in a van, Dylan
decided to move to the Mediterranean in pursuit of adventure. With only 7 days of sailing
experience, he bought a 1979 Morgan 382 sailing boat and has since been living aboard The
Arianrhod. Currently, he has sailed over 6,000 nautical miles to 3 different continents. He has
traveled to 27 countries thus far while sharing countless inspiring stories of Alternative Living.
Dylan’s main passions are Adventure, Storytelling, and Sustainable Living. Now, he is
the CEO of FLORB, a successful film production company based in Los Angeles, California,
USA.

It's great to catch up with my friend Dan Culpepper after his epic voyage aboard sailing vessel Heldeleine across the Atlantic and into the Mediterranean. This is the first part of a two-part interview which does not even begin to scratch the surface of his experiences this past summer. I will post the next episode next week but there's still much to cover I hope to get Dan back again for another interview.

2023 Rewind Sailing in the Mediterranean Episode 77 Dan Culpepper Pt 1

This is the second part of a two part interview with Captain Skip Strong and Twain Braden of:
In Peril: A Daring Decision, a Captain's Resolve, and the Salvage that Made History
When Skip Strong, the thirty-two-year-old Captain of the 688-foot oil tanker Cherry Valley received the call, all he knew was that an ocean going tug with five men aboard was in distress off Florida's east coast. Caught in an unusually powerful storm, the tug's engines failed, and as the winds gusted to more than sixty miles per hour and the sea whipped into a frenzy, the tug--and the barge it was towing-- were in danger of being swept ashore. Captain Strong also knew that he would follow the age-old tradition of sea rescue. Coming to the aid of the crew, the tug, and its cargo, he would have to maneuver his ship--laden with 10 million gallons of oil-- in extremely hazardous conditions. One mistake and Strong would be responsible for an ecological disaster on Florida's beaches equal to that of the Exxon Valdez. What Captain Strong didn't know was that the tug was carrying a 150-foot aluminum fuel cell worth upwards of $50 million. And that in the instant he decided to rescue the tug and its crew, he was opening the door on a dramatic and tense legal struggle that would pit him against the United States Government for salvage rights.
