Sailing SV Mutiny

Shoestring travelling backpackers and a toilet trained black cat with no idea about sailing buy a sailboat with their last savings with no former experience...

09/10/2021

The healing sound of sloshing water against the hull, the vibration and caressing wind on your skin that pushes Mutiny forward. We"re travelling with natures elements now 💜🖤...
I have a feeling we"ll never grow tired of it...

We are averging around 20 nautical miles a day without the stinky, polluting, hot pile of metal (read engine). Sail only, we love everything about it.

Today we had another gorgeous sunset in a beautiful bay 🥰.

08/10/2021

Pic 1: Getting the old Genoa off.
Pic 2: inspecting the damage.
Pic 3: hoisting the new one.

05/10/2021

So after the horrendous engine 😡 died again... We decided to SAIL only to Turkey.
This also means pull up and drop the anchorage under sail!

Luckily there is loads of wind, yesterday we had a force 7*, near gale. And of course some heavy katabatics from another angle. 😕

It's hard not to luff the Genoa when the wind comes from different directions. And she ripped unfortunately... 🙄 So we had to sail and anchor with a ripped genoa... (she was already 42 years old)

BUT apparently we have an unused on board 😃. We are waiting for a gap in the wind to quickly exchange them.

Pretty exciting and teeth clenching all. But an amazing learning experience. 🤘

DAMAGE so far:
Ripped Genny,
Anchor locker cover ripped out
Fearlead snapped and fell in So after the horrendous engine died again...
We decided to sail to Turkey.
This also means pull up and drop the anchorage under sail! 💪

LEARNED:
How to use the katabatics in our favour.

FIRST TIME:
2 days no alcohol 😱
Got to love boatlife 🥰

*(Force 7: 28, 33 knots = 50,60km/h)

01/10/2021

Someone goes crazy when it blows a hoolie outside...

Fun fact this little one slept through our almost knockdown a few days ago.

The content of the boat flew around but Styx was still in his spot super chilled out.
Tough guy, a real sailor!

28/09/2021

Bye bye mainland Greece. Next mainland we"ll set foot and 🐾on will be Turkey.

Yesterday we had the feeling you didn't want to let us go after that almost knockdown (touching the sea with our masts) due to the huuuuuge swell on the beam + katabatic
The rumbling, gusting, lightening fast wind that tumbels down the top of the mountain... that was intense!

But hey! You"re dealing with our Mutinous floating lady and her three mutineers here. Boy does she proof herself over and over again! So in love with her 💞 😉.

We"ll keep heading East and probably find shelter for the upcoming storm. Or should we go out and test our sea anchor? Have we been reading too much storm tactics by Lin and Larry Pardey? 🤔

23/09/2021

Heavy weather...
Unfortunately the more protected quay was full.

Therefore we had to take another one, which is more exposed to the elements.
The end of the storm should be near...

Can not wait for this washing machine of a boat to end the washing cycle. Even if it is only for a few hours. 😉

15/09/2021

Heave to, blow the foghorn and grab life by the balls!

We finally have a PLAN 😱. 🤪 We are going to Turkey.

We didn't make it to Palairos because that would be way too fun and we would lose too many windy days of it probably 😃. And saying goodbye is always tough...

Palerianos! We had a blast for the last 2,5 years there. All you lovely, crazy people made it a home away from home. Incredibly hard to leave the Paleros bubble...

We learned loads about sailboats, even bought one and are living on it for two years already 😂. We couldn't have done it without your help. We are exactly in life where we aimed for. There is only more adventures to come.

Beautiful people of Paleiros; great memories have been made! We are going to MISS YOU. You always stay in our hearts and minds. You are our chosen pirate family. We love you! 🥰💜🖤💕

🎊🥳🎉Happy birthday Mutiny🍻🥂🍾

The first time of many things... that's definitely our line of this second year as a liveboard.

* The first time we lost flipflops, dinghy seat and paddles because of a 40 knot katabatic that surprised us; 🚣‍♂️

*The first time our dinghy was floating 1NM behind us. Luckily Ramon spotted it and luckily the conditions were calm. 🤪

*The first two times we ran aground; once with the rudder once with the keel. ⛵

*The first time our anchor dragged and dragged and dragged in the middle of the night filled with katabatics. 💨

*The first time Ramon picked up a submarine cable; ⚡

*The first time we did a nightsail; 🌌

*The first time we sailed in a Force 6, with 3 sails up; 🎐

*The first time we had a major expense on the boat; the engine; 💸

*The first time in our lives that electricity starts making sense. 🌋

*The first time we butterflied or is it dragonflying 😉; 🦋

*The first time we sailed under a bridge; 🌉

*The first time Styx took a dump on the head while on the lean 30 degrees; 😻

*The first time family visited; 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

*The first time I jumped of a sailing boat and realized 2 knots is quite fast to 🏊‍♀️

What a year it has been!
Dear Mutiny, may the wind always be in your favour and the force with you 🤘

Cleaned out our diesel tank today...
We're pretty happy with our big inspection cap. It's super easy to get in there and clean out all the sludge.

In the second picture you can see the diesel in the bucket. Look at that color?!?
Appearantly it's black diesel... No idea where we got that from.

We are ready for a full refill and we"ll put some fuel set in there to prevent any possible dirt issues. Love that stuff!

Cats and castles 🥰

My older brother and his family came for a visit. We took them out for a sail and they absolutely loved it. 🥰

Look at that concentrated captain. 😉

24/08/2021

My older brother and his family visiting 🥰. Their first time on Mutiny and they LOVE it! 💜🖤.

Dad must be proud. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust 💜🖤.

Sailing into the sunset 🥰

18/08/2021

Of all convenient, cosy, quiet places he could choose from... Don señor El capitan Styx prefers the anchor locker... 🤣

16/08/2021

Are we gonna make it underneath the bridge? 😱

🍻 Hell we did! Actually we sailed quite quick underneath it...

Maybe there were some kids in the backseat of the car on the bridge wondering and fantasizing about sailing and living on a boat. Just like ourselves a few years ago.

Sometimes the grass is greener at the other side or let's say bluer 😉.

The time is now, later is getting too close.

Thanks
and for the lovely generous welcome gift.

We just arrived in stunning Diakopto and rowed to shore with our dinghy to do some shopping.

When we returned to our dinghy there was a plastic bag with some goodies in it. We didn't know what to think till we saw these two friendly people smiling and telling us it was a gift.

A beautiful drawing of the little one, tasty bottle of red wine and some delicious chocolates. Exactly what we like.

There are some beautiful souls on this planet 😍🥰.

Cheers and thanks again. 🍷

In the majestic Parnassus mountain range, one can find the mystical ancient archeological site of Delphi.

Backdropped by towering limestones, this stunning city was once thriving.

It was a busy place where many came to seek the oracle. The oracle would foretell the future of many...

06/08/2021

If we say Styx jumps on every boat, we mean every single one of them. Coast guard or not... 🤣

01/08/2021

How do you call goosewinging with all three sails of a ketch?

Dragonflying? 🤔😉

28/07/2021

Happy crazy cat and stunning beach.

Styx colonising yet another island.
Can you find him in the picture?

20/07/2021

The boys on anchor watch.

19/07/2021

Mmmhhhh...
The wind in your hair, the softly bouncing up and down, the 360 view, starring into the big blue, watching the clouds and wildlife...
Life is good...

14/07/2021

!!!FREEDOM!!! 😁😁😁
After having to wait 5 weeks on a quay in Lefkas.
Our engine is back in. Unfortunately the heat exchanger is still leaking a little bit. our engineer tried to weld it but it's a very tough job.

We"ll try to fix it with some Sikaflex if that doesn't hold we have some metal epoxy just in case.

Most importantly WE ARE FREE again.

12/07/2021

One person's trash is another person's treasure. There is so much trash created by us humans... I always feel sad when passing garbage bins. To me, there is always at least one possibility...

In this case I saw a wind scoop in an abandoned life raft. (on the boatyard to be clear 😉)

It's not gonna win a beauty contest, but it works like a charm, especially when at anchor. Which we hope to do soon before we go insane... 🤪

Oh yeah... and we painted the deck too. Terracotta, not only does it match the wind scoop it also goes very well with the big blue.

Another day another chore (while waiting on the engine to be fixed)...

Today was the day to fix our flag.

19/06/2021

Do you know that "hopefully" once in a lifetime moment 🤞 of suddenly having to spend an outrageous fortune in a heartbeat?

😳😱OUCH 😳😱
Yup this is an update about our engine...

But nothing else to do than accept this situation and be happy it happened here in moderate conditions where we know some incredible helpful people. 🙏

It could always be worse right? And an example of how not all unicorns 🦄 fart rainbows 🌈 when living on a boat.

Here are some pics for the curious...
In the first one the heat exchanger, it had a crack which has been welded.
❓A few months ago, I did ask the former owner if it was needed to take it off and clean it.

He said there was no need because it had been done by a professional not that long ago.

On the second picture the piston.
The -Perkins doctor- engineer 👨‍⚕️ told us, that the ring on one of the pistons had been repaired before. (Before we owned Mutiny)

PIC 3
The big problem was that the specific ring had the wrong size and damaged the cylinder.

PIC 4
Furthermore the teflon on the clutch was ripped out and the starter motor will be inspected too.

PIC 5
Snooping around the big engine workshop. 😁

Learning point?
We should have checked the heat exchanger and cleaned it. Even though others tell you it is fine, double check anyhow... Better save than sorry...

We made the right decision by hauling it out and have it taken apart. Otherwise we wouldn't know about the wrong sized ring on the piston that damaged the cylinder.

At least now we know we can trust her. After all she will be completely rebuild and will be as good as new. She will definitely go for another 50 years we were told... Maybe she'll survive us 🤪

12/06/2021

...UPDATE on our Perkins that just seized while running last week...
..THE VERDICT HAS FALLEN...
Water entered the pistons via the heat exchanger. The flywheel disk and gearbox are broken...

She is a great engine, already 42 years old... Luckily it happened here where we know people and not in the middle of the ocean or somewhere where we can't get the parts.

At least she will be completely dismantled and rebuild and we"ll be able to rely on her. Always look on the bright side right? Gotta lo...ve boatlife... 😉

Maybe it's my dad's way to make sure the engine works when we need it. 💜🖤

18/04/2021

Farewell dad, I will always love you and you"ll always be a part of me... 🖤💜

A giant leap for men but a little hop for Don señor el Capitan Styx. Make sure to watch till the end. What are we saying in Dutch? Lotte : "Styx are you coming?" Styx: "I want to go in the sailbag but I know I can't, or can I? 🐱" Both: "Styx no!" Lotte: "Oh, nice sail bag, a good way to cover them!" Styx:"UHUM, what is the easiest spot to get off again?" Lotte: "Are you coming off the boat now?" Styx: "Yes, mum on my way, be patient..." Ramon: "It's crazy cat time" Lotte: "Yup sun just set..." Styx:"Can I make this "giant leap for human" in one go? Oh, they are filming!! Of course, I can, PIECE OF CAKE!" PPPPPPPPPPRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR AND THEN IT COMES: Styx does what he does best... Both: "OOOOOOooohhh Very well done little one!" Styx:"Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrfect!" He just adores boats and of course, never forget; they are all his... 😉

Checking out our sails. When I pulled the genoa sheet, looked up in this awkward angle to see the top of the sail and the blue, sunny skies above... It triggered so many good vibes... DAMMMNNNN we NEED TO SAIL 😜. The news now says that we will be able to half MAY. WOOP WOOP... If the regulations don't change again that is of course...

Many hands make light work. After the sanding of last week, this week it was time to paint. "Woohoo, I like to paint!" I said. the second layer was a bit less fun.
