This one did not go to plan. Rather than follow the crowd and go along with the Sail to Indonesia Rally fleet to Banda Nera, we intended to day hop along a series of islands from Kei Kecil to explore the remote and seldom visited northern coast of Seram in...

This video shows the very simple steps to set up and operate a Rainman Portable Watermaker to produce pure, fresh, drinking water from the sea onboard a boat via reverse osmosis. It’s also our honest, totally unsponsored, review of the system after using...

Our first week in Indonesia is a whirlwind at Debut on the island of Kei Kecil with customs and immigration clearances, motor scootering around discovering incredible underground swimming pools deep inside spectacular caves and powder white sand beaches. A...

Here’s our year on YouTube in nine minutes. Between our regular episodes, we thought we’d put together this little look back on our trip up the Queensland Coast to the tip of Cape York and the Torres Straits, our stepping off point to Indonesia. We ho...

In July 2023 we completed our first international crossing on SV Our Dreamtime, sailing from Horn Island in the Torres Strait to Debut on the island of Kai Kecil in Indonesia. Five days at sea, 700 nautical miles across the Gulf of Carpentaria and Arafura ...

Sailing further up to Cape York we leave Morris Island behind, make an overnight stop at Night Island then enjoy a great sail to an anchorage at Portland Roads on the mainland. Here the boat is mobbed by a school of huge sharks as soon as we anchor. The fo...

On our way up to Cape York we sail deeper into crocodile territory and take the opportunity to enjoy one of the best aspects of cruising on a sail boat. That is having the ability to stop and explore remote tropical islands all by ourselves. In this episod...
