Thank you Yachting Monthly magazine for awarding us the runner up in the inaugural Brian Black Memorial Award 2021

Today is our first "Trash Tuesday" of 2021. It comes to you from a very lovely anchorage between Karakoren and Gemiler Adasi in Turkey.

This video was shot in late October 2019. Until we can return to Lady Roslyn, we can only re-live our adventures through our stored images.

A few weeks ago I was asked by someone on Facebook to please post details about the hookah rig which we use on Lady Roslyn when needing to dive under the boat. This piece of equipment is a real asset to have onboard. It makes diving under the hulls a quick and easy task. We have an electric Paramina dive compressor, 3 scuba tanks, and 3 full sets of scuba gear with us. In the 4 years we have owned Lady Roslyn, I have probably used the hookah rig attached to a scuba tank on th

A few days ago we found a lovely unnamed anchorage along the southern coastline of Pserimos. The bottom is sand with good holding and there is only the sound of goat bells for company and the twinkling of the lights across the channel to Kos at night. Our good friends, Ian and Jenny were sailing with us and at sunset Jenny SUP’ped to shore to walk along the beach. She came back to Lady Roslyn with a selection of plastic trash she had found littering the beach. In the morning,

It's been a while since our last "Sharing the lessons" post, but we have a few new ones lined up if I can just stop long enough to write them. While underwater, cleaning the hulls after we had left Lady Roslyn for a few weeks to return home, I noticed that our propeller zincs were almost completely corroded away. The sail drive zincs are fine but the propeller zincs definitely needed replacing. We last lifted Lady Roslyn from the water 18 months ago in Athens and we do not in

As an addition to our top improvements of 2018, we would like to introduce you to "Zebbie" the gangplank. While we always prefer to be at anchor, there are occasions when we either need to, or want to go in to a harbour or marina. In Greece and Turkey we have found that the harbour walls are often a bit high for us to reverse in towards and be able to use our clip in folding carbon fibre paserelle without danger to the underside of the RIB. With ferry traffic often creating s

Following on from our last post on this topic, here is our improvement tip #2 for 2018. During July, we experienced some VERY hot days along the Turquoise Coast between Gocek and the Kekova Roads in Turkey. The image below taken of the thermometer at the navigation station was average for the some of days last month, with us seeing a top temperature of 41.5° C (that's 106.7° F for you folks in the US). While we are never shy to start the generator and use the air-conditioning

We cannot believe that today we have just had the ten thousandth visitor to our website. It was started from scratch less than 2 years ago with neither of us having any prior experience on how to design, build or maintain a website. Thank you to everyone who has visited the site. Hopefully you have taken away something of interest and hopefully we can continue to engage you as we "Share the lessons we learn on our journey". Nic & Cath #LadyRoslyn #Sailing #Catamaran #Fountain
