Love Child Drone Footage at Tangalooma Wrecks, Moreton Island

Avoid steering failure. Know about servicing and maintaining your rudder and steering system and preventing electrolysis and other corrosion. Demystify the rudder bearing systems of modern yachts. Get to know the world of Jefa Rudder Bearings. This rudder work was done on Love Child - my Bavaria 38 - by Jason and his team at JSA Marine Pty Ltd in Brisbane, in May 2022. Here is a great video wit...

LOVE CHILD ODYSSEY - the whole 13 months This video covers the whole 13 months, from August, 2018 to October, 2019; from the purchase of Love Child in Cleopatra Marina, near Preveza, Greece to Brisbane, Australia. There are clear maps throughout that illustrate each major leg. We passed through Sicily (at 3:50 minutes), Sardinia (8:25), Mallorca (9:14), Spain (10:45), Gibraltar (12:08), Canary ...

I’ve just woken up. I can see blue sky for the first time in ages. For the Med, this has been the worst October weather on record (gales, rain and cold). A marina in Italy was obliterated in one recent puff. We have been bunkered down in Palma de Mallorca for two weeks, out of season and with bad weather, so lacking the glitz and the glimpses of movie stars. (But still a museum of thousands of ...

It just goes on and on, with days and days of powerful downhill sailing, yet so little movement on the chart. Sometimes...

I just pray our cleats hold. Although the sea wall stops the waves, it stops nothing else. We are stern to the weather, and the cockpit is coated in a disgusting...

Did you know that in Abu Dhabi Airport you can’t buy a cup of Arabic coffee? I am in Cleopatra Marina in Preveza, Greece. I am berthed right in the middle of a big yachtie scene, with crane engines and high-pressure hose cleaning and yelling in every European language. The boat is a Bavaria, 12 metres, built in Germany 14 years ago. She has never been chartered and is in immaculate condition, h...
