After Medicane warnings, high winds and lots of work we set off sailing out of Symi island in Greece to continue our Greek island hopping adventure. If you enjoy the content and want to support us further then there are some suggestions below. Thank you,...

Sit back and relax as we take you on a delightful bush walk up to the Hill Inlet lookout. Hill Inlet is at the northern end of Whitsunday Island and the view of Whitehaven Beach and the Inlet is absolutely breathtaking. So, it’s no surprise that Whitehav...

We leave Yelapa, and set sail for tehuamixtle. Along the way the engine dies which made us a little nervous as there was no wind to get us going anywhere. We ended up backtracking a bit on our route. Finally Trav figured out what the problem was.... WE RA...

We leave the unimpressive Shaw Island and have a wonderful sail to Chalkies Beach which is opposite the world famous Whitehaven Beach in the Whitsundays. The planning for this trip is very intense as Magnus does the maths and checks it twice to ensure tha...

While we wait out the bad weather, we take the opportunity to look around Cid Harbour. We take Peanut out along the banks to explore the beautiful scenery. We find so many waterfalls which are abundant due to the days and days of relentless rain. We canâ€...

After spending quite a few very rainy days sitting out the weather in Gulnare Inlet we decide to just go for it and take Peanut up the creek in search of a potential cyclone bolt hole. It’s absolutely beautiful with mangroves, Norfolk pines and giant fru...

We leave Stonehaven Bay with a much cleaner bottom and sail across to Happy Bay. We don’t get to stay there long because there’s a storm brewing and we need to find a more protected anchorage. We can’t go forward because the forecasted winds are go...

With road trips, brewery visits and beer tasting over for a while, we get back to all things boaty. We fix the mizzen sail and make a new cover for the hatch, all thanks to Greg for the donation of the sail. We have a good friend on board, Simone. We hea...

With the announcement of the Western Australian borders opening, Magnus quickly booked a flight for the both of us to go over to Perth to catch up with family. We flew down to Brisbane for a couple of days to see our three daughters, then took a flight ov...

Magnus heads out the back of our block to clear the track and ends up stuck in a ditch which wasn’t there the last time we were back at the farm pre Cyclone Debbie! He continues the work on Nutshell’s Volvo engine’s exhaust outlet. More components ...

Magnus is busy with jobs for Peanut and Nutshell. Peanut’s pimping continues with a new propeller guard and Magnus works on Nutshell’s new engine. It’s time for some chill time out on the water and Magnus takes the day off to go mud crabbing and fis...

We are having issues with the water pump so Magnus pulls it apart to see what the problem is and hopefully to fix it. It’s very windy in the Whitsundays with extreme gale force winds reaching up to 46 knots and we’re out in it! But, it’s just great...
