Life aboard our Bavaria 37 Cruiser - Moonshine

Introduction

Life on board Moonshine

This site brings together our sailing route, stop reviews, recipes, useful gear and general updates from the boat. It is designed to be a practical, easy-to-browse record of where we have been and what we have learned along the way.

In 2025 I mainly used Polar Steps as a way to keep friends and family updated to our progress. I'm still going to use the Socials Channels as before, but I'm also going to try post a bit more detail on here too. Lets see how it goes!

Back to another of our favourite locations. Some practical reasons for legging it down here so Anna can do a quick trip home to visit her Mum in hospital. I'll stay and look after the boat and pick another slot to visit.

Its such a huge marina here but the facilities are really good - and our current location is a short walk from the beach, the bakery and a take-away pizza place. And the public transport here is also excellent - we are next to the water bus stop into the city.
